BLOCK_RESET
Lets you reset the statistics or the configuration of an individual function
block.
BYPASS
Allows the normal control algorithm to be bypassed if the CONTROL_OPT
parameter’s Bypass Enable option is selected. If control is bypassed, the
PID uses its setpoint value as its output value and does not attempt to do
any PID control.
CHANNEL
Used by I/O function blocks to select a physical I/O channel. This mapping
is defined by the manufacturer. In the FP-3000, this parameter is
automatically updated when the FIELDPOINT_MODULE and
FIELDPOINT_CHANNEL parameters are modified.
CHECKBACK
A list describing the state of the interlock logic in the CDO block. Use
CHECKBACK to determine how interlocks are operating.
Device Needs
Maintenance Now 0x2000 The device needs to be maintained now.
Power-Up 0x4000 The device has just powered up.
Out of Service 0x8000 The block is currently out of service.
Table C-2. Block Reset Options
Option Description
Contained Parameters Sets all the contained parameters (standard and FP-3000
specific) of the function block to default values. This is useful
to set a specific block to a known state without affecting the
behavior of the other blocks in the FP-3000. The block should
be in OOS mode to reset the contained parameters.
Statistics Resets the various statistics counts associated with the block.
