Function Codes 25 and 41 – Analog/Digital Input
To configure the ICN communication in an instrument database, you will need IC and OC
blocks. IC blocks (Input Communication) are used for receiving data into an instrument
and OC blocks (Output Communication) are used for sending data out of the instrument.
It is important to have an IC and OC pair for each variable transferred over ICN. The
IC block should be configured in the instrument that receives data and the OC block is
configured in the instrument that sends data. It is also important to fill the instrument’s
address, occurrence number of the OC block that sends the data in the configuration of
the IC block that receives data and vice versa.
Refer to the Appendix2 (Peer-to-peer Communications) of the ViZapp Training
Manual IB-VIZAPP-TUT for more information on occurrence umbers and a complete
tutorial on the ICN communications. Also refer to the documentation in this book for
the Function codes 28 and 42.
The IC block that is part of this compound FC25 is shown in the next figure:
