Limit

Table 4-4 describes the Limit subfield values.

MODE_BLK Parameter and Mode Handling

The block’s mode behavior is controlled with the MODE_BLK parameter.

The MODE_BLK parameter contains four fields that allow the current mode

of the block to be read and the desired mode for the block to be written. The

four fields are Target mode, Actual mode, Permitted mode, and

Normal mode.

Target Mode

The desired mode of execution for the block. An operator or process

engineer normally writes this to put the block in the desired mode of

operation.

Table 4-4. Limit Values

Valu e Meaning

None The value is not limited.

Low The value is at a lower limit. This can be caused by

a transducer limitation or setpoint limits.

High The value is at a high limit. This can be caused by

a transducer limitation or setpoint limits.

Constant The value is at a fixed value and cannot move. This

can be caused by the block supplying the value

being in manual mode.
