HARD_TYPES
A list of available channel types. As I/O modules are inserted and removed
from the FP-3000 bank, bits in this field change to reflect the presence or
absence of types of I/O channels.
HI_ALM
The current state of the high alarm, along with a time and date stamp.
HI_HI_ALM
The current state of the high-high alarm, along with a time and date stamp.
HI_HI_LIM
The limit, in PV units, beyond which the high-high limit alarm is
considered active.
HI_HI_PRI
The priority of the high-high limit alarm.
HI_LIM
The limit, in PV units, beyond which the high limit alarm is considered
active.
HI_PRI
The priority of the high limit alarm.
IO_OPTS
A bitmask used to adjust the way I/O blocks operate. TableC-7 describes
the operation bitmasks.
Table C-6. Hard Types
Bitmask Description
Analog Input This bit is set if the FP-3000 has analog input channels available.
Analog Output This bit is set if the FP-3000 has analog output channels available.
Discrete Input This bit is set if the FP-3000 has discrete input channels available.
Discrete Output This bit is set if the FP-3000 has discrete output channels available.
