FAULT_STATE, SET_FSTATE, CLR_FSTATE: these only
apply to output function blocks. (The Model 2xx has no
output function blocks).

MAX_NOTIFY: the maximum number of alert reports that
the transmitter can send without getting a confirmation.

The user can set the number low, to control alert flooding,
by adjusting the LIM_NOTIFY parameter value.

LIM_NOTIFY: the maximum numbers of unconfirmed
alert notify messages allowed. No alerts are reported if set
to zero.

CONFIRM_TIME: the time that the transmitter will wait
for confirmation of receipt of a report before trying again.
Retry will not occur if CONFIRM_TIME = 0.

WRITE_LOCK: When set to LOCKED, will prevent any
external change to the static or non-volatile data base in the
Function Block Application of the transmitter. Block con-
nections and calculation results will proceed normally, but
the configuration will be locked.

UPDATE_EVT (Update Event): is an alert generated by a
write to the static data in the block.

BLOCK_ALM (Block Alarm): is used for configuration,
hardware, connection, or system problems in the block. The
cause of any specific alert is entered in the subcode field.
The first alert to become active will set the Active status in
the Status attribute. 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 sub-
code has changed.

ALARM_SUM (Alarm Summary): contains the current
alert status, the unacknowledged states, the unreported
states, and the disabled states of the alarms associated with
the block.

ACK_OPTION (Acknowledge Option): selects whether
alarms associated with the block will be automatically
acknowledged.

WRITE_PRI (Write Priority): the priority of the alarm
generated by clearing the write lock.

WRITE ALM (Write Alarm): the alert generated if the
write lock parameter is cleared.

ITK_VER (ITK Version): contains the version of the
Interoperability Test Kit (ITK) used by the Fieldbus
Foundation during their interoperability testing.
