Appendix F Resource Block

	Parameters and Descriptions	page F-1
	Resource Block Errors	page F-5
	Modes	page F-5
	Troubleshooting	page F-6
	This section contains information on the resource block for the
	Rosemount 8732 Magnetic Flowmeter Transmitter. Descriptions of all
	resource block parameters, errors, and diagnostics are included. Also, the
	modes, alarm detection, status handling, virtual communication relationships
	(VCRs), and troubleshooting are discussed.
Definition	The resource block defines the physical resources of the device, such as
	measurement and memory. The resource block also handles functionality,
	such as shed times, that is common across multiple blocks. The block has no
	linkable inputs or outputs, and it performs memory-level diagnostics.

PARAMETERS AND DESCRIPTIONS

Table F-1. Resource Block Parameters

Table F-1lists all of the configurable parameters of the resource block, including the descriptions and index numbers for each parameter. Newer software revisions have added functionality and some index numbers have changed. To determine the software revision of a transmitter, check the parameter SOFTWARE_REVISION_MAJOR. The most recent transmitters have a label on the electronic board stack.
