Fieldbus Parameters

ACK_OPTION

Allows alarms to be automatically acknowledged by the block with no

outside intervention. This is useful if you are not interested in

acknowledging certain alarms from a block.

ALARM_HYS

The amount a value must move off an alarm limit, in percent of scale, for

the alarm to be considered clear. This helps prevent alarms from constantly

“toggling” on and off when the process value is near the configured alarm

limit.

ALARM_SUM

A summary of the status of alarms in the block. Allows alarms to be

disabled.

ALERT_KEY

A value reported in alarm messages from the block that allows MMI

applications to sort and filter alarms.

ALG_RUN_TIME

The length of time (in milliseconds) the block algorithm takes to run.

BAL_TIME

The time constant used by the integral term of the PID to obtain balance

when the output is limited and the block is in Auto, Cas, or RCas mode.

BINARY_CL

An interlock input. When in Discrete_State_1, the output of the block

is forced closed (Discrete_State_0). This interlock input has priority

over all interlock inputs, except SAFEGUARD_CL and SAFEGUARD_OP. In

the event BINARY_OP and BINARY_CL are in discrete state 1, both are

considered to be in Discrete_State_0.
