OVERVIEW This section contains information on the Rosemount 5300 Series Radar Level
Transmitter Resource Block. Descriptions of all Resource Block Parameters,
errors, and diagnostics are included. Also the modes, alarm detection, status
handling, and troubleshooting are discussed.
Definition
The resource block defines the physical resources of the device. The
resource block also handles functionality that is common across multiple
blocks. The block has no linkable inputs or outputs.
PARAMETERS AND
DESCRIPTIONS
The table below lists all the configurable parameters of the Resource Block,
including the descriptions and index numbers for each.
Parameter
Index
Number
Description
ACK_OPTION 38 Selection of whether alarms associated with the function block will be
automatically acknowledged.
ADVISE_ACTIVE 82 Enumerated list of advisory conditions within a device.
ADVISE_ALM 83 Alarm indicating advisory alarms. These conditions do not have a direct impact on the
process or device integrity.
ADVISE_ENABLE 80 Enabled ADVISE_ALM alarm conditions. Corresponds bit for bit to the ADVISE_ACTIVE.
A bit on means that the corresponding alarm condition is enabled and will be detected. A
bit off means the corresponding alarm condition is disabled and will not be detected.
ADVISE_MASK 81 Mask of ADVISE_ALM. Corresponds bit of bit to ADVISE_ACTIVE. A bit on means that
the condition is masked out from alarming.
ADVISE_PRI 79 Designates the alarming priority of the ADVISE_ALM
ALARM_SUM 37 The current alert status, unacknowledged states, unreported states, and disabled states
of the alarms associated with the function block.
ALERT_KEY 04 The identification number of the plant unit.
BLOCK_ALM 36 The block alarm is used for all configuration, hardware, connection failure or system
problems in the block. The cause of the alert is entered in the subcode field. The first alert
to become active will set the Active status in the Status parameter. As soon as the
Unreported status is cleared by the alert reporting task, another block alert may be
reported without clearing the Active status, if the subcode has changed.
BLOCK_ERR 06 This parameter reflects the error status associated with the hardware or software
components associated with a block. It is a bit string, so that multiple errors may be
shown.
CLR_FSTATE 30 Writing a Clear to this parameter will clear the device FAIL_SAFE if the field condition has
cleared.
CONFIRM_TIME 33 The time the resource will wait for confirmation of receipt of a report before trying again.
Retry will not happen when CONFIRM_TIME=0.
CYCLE_SEL 20 Used to select the block execution method for this resource. The Rosemount 5300
supports the following:
Scheduled: Blocks are only executed based on the function block schedule.
Block Execution: A block may be executed by linking to another blocks completion.
