TRANSDUCER BLOCK
DIAGNOSTICS
In addition to the BLOCK_ERR and XD_ERROR parameters, more detailed
information on the measurement status can be obtained via
DETAILED_STATUS. Table G-5 lists the potential errors and the possible
corrective actions for the given values. Reset the transmitter by cycling power
and then, if the error persists, perform the corrective action as described in
Table G-5. More detailed and descriptive corrective actions are listed in
Section 4: Operation and Section 6: Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
Table G-5.

MODES The transducer block supports two modes of operation as defined by the
MODE_BLK parameter:
• Automatic (Auto)—The channel outputs reflect the analog input
measurement.
• Out of Service (O/S)—The block is not processed. Channel outputs
are not updated and the status is set to BAD: OUT OF SERVICE for
each channel. The BLOCK_ERR parameter shows OUT OF SERVICE.
In this mode, you can make changes to all configurable parameters.
The target mode of a block may be restricted to one or more of the
supported modes.
Alarm Detection Alarms are not generated by the transducer block. By correctly handling the
status of the channel values, the down stream block (AI) will generate the
necessary alarms for the measurement. The error that generated this alarm
can be determined by looking at BLOCK_ERR and XD_ERROR.
Status Handling Normally, the status of the output channels reflects the status of the
measurement value, the operating condition of the measurement electronics
card, and any active alarm condition.
