2.1 MOD 30ML FUNCTION BLOCKS
The blocks described in this section are in addition to the System, Input/Output and Algorithm
blocks described in the Logic Functions books. These blocks support display, alarm and
built-in I/O functions used specifically by this instrument.
System Block Selection
DISP Display Block. Reference Section 2.2. This block assigns user display
resources and provides a simple scripting language capability to
define how keyboard and display event driven actions are handled.
There can be multiple display blocks in an instrument database.
DIF Display Interface Block. Reference Section 2.3. This block is a
repository for all instrument display related data and control. The list of
user displays is maintained by this block. There can only be one DIF
block.
ST State Block. Reference Section 2.4. This block is a data only block
that is used to maintain a set of state tables that associates state
values with mnemonics for all user display blocks and process alarm
display blocks. There can only be one ST block
TL Tune List Block. Reference Section 2.5. This block contains a list of
attributes accessible as tunable parameters from one or more user
display blocks. There can be multiple tune list blocks in an instrument
database.
Algorithm Block Selection
PAD Process Alarm Display Block. Reference Section 2.6. This block
produces a discrete signal to advise of an irregular process condition
and includes the resources to display messages based upon a
condition. There can be multiple process alarm display blocks in an
instrument database.
Input/Output Module Block Selection
AIN Built-in Analog Input Block. Reference Section 2.7. This block
processes a field signal for one of the two built-in analog inputs and
connects the data using MODOUT to an input function block MODIN.
AOUT Built-in Analog Output Block. Reference Section 2.8. This block uses
one of the two built-in analog output circuits to output a field signal of
the analog data from another block.
