7. In-Process Operation
This chapter describes the procedure performed
when changing the operation of the function block
of the EJX multivariable transmitter in process.
7.1 Mode Transition
When the function block mode is changed to
Out_Of_Service, the function block pauses and a
block alarm is issued.
When the function block mode is changed to
Manual, the function block suspends updating of
output values. In this case alone, it is possible to
write a value to the OUT parameter of the block
for output. Note that no parameter status can be
changed
7.2 Generation of Alarm
7.2.1 Indication of Alarm
When the self-diagnostics function indicates that a
device is faulty, an alarm (device alarm) is issued
from the resource block. When an error (block
error) is detected in each function block or an error
in the process value (process alarm) is detected, an
alarm is issued from each block. If an LCD indicator
is installed, the error number is displayed as AL.XX.
If two or more alarms are issued, multiple error
numbers are displayed.
For details of ALARM, refer to Section 8.2
