Add a Block
Blocks are defined by the field
device manufacturer and
described in the DD files.
There are three classes of blocks:
R
– Resource Block
T
– Transducer Block
F
– Function Block
Only function blocks have ports that are used to transfer data to and from the
block:
•
Ports on the left of the function blocks are inputs.
•
Ports on the right of the function blocks are outputs.
For detailed descriptions and uses of each block, refer to the user manual of the
field device.
