AI Block Parameter Attribute Definitions

The following table describes the parameters that are available in the analog input function block. Each line item in the table defines the element and specifies the requirements for each element.

Absolute	Parameter	Description
Index
	Profibus PA Specific Block
	Header
16	BLOCK_OBJECT	This object contains the characteristics of the
		blocks.
17	ST_REV	The modification of at least one static parameter in
		a block has to be incremented by the according
		ST_REV at least by one.
18	TAG_DESC	Every block can be assigned a textual TAG
		description. The TAG_DESC must be unambiguous
		and unique in the fieldbus system.
19	STRATEGY	Grouping of Function Block. The STRATEGY field
		can be used to group blocks.
20	ALERT_KEY	This parameter contains the identification number
		of the plant unit. It helps to
		identify the location (plant unit) of an event.
21	TARGET_MODE	The TARGET_MODE parameter contains desired
		mode normally set by a control application or an
		operator. The modes are valid alternatively only,
		i.e. only one mode can be set at one time. A write
		access to this parameter with more then one mode
		is out of the range of the parameter and have to be
		refused.
22	MODE_BLK	This parameter contains the current mode, the
		permitted and normal mode of the block.
23	ALARM_SUM	This parameter contains the current states of the
		block alarms.
24	BATCH	This parameter is intended to be used in Batch
		applications. Not implemented in 8732E device.
25	RESERVED by PNO
26	OUT	The Function Block parameter OUT contains the
		current measurement value in a vendor specific or
		configuration adjusted engineering unit and the
		belonging state in AUTO MODE. The Function
		Block parameter OUT contains the value and status
		set by an operator in MAN MODE.
27	PV_SCALE	Conversion of the Process Variable into percent
		using the high and low scale values. The
		engineering unit of PV_SCALE high and low scale
		values are directly.
28	OUT_SCALE	Related to the PV_UNIT of the configured
		Transducer Block (configured via Channel
		parameter). The PV_SCALE high and low scale
		values follow the mapped to last 16 characters of
		DEVICE_ID_STRING parameter in Mfg. Block.
29	LIN_TYPE	Type of linearization. The 8732E only supports “No
		linearization”.
30	CHANNEL	Reference to the active Transducer Block which
		provides the measurement value
		to the Function Block.
31	RESERVED
32	PV_FTIME	Filter time of the Process Variable.
