3.2 Device replacement

Device replacement is a common plant operation, where an old or defective device is replaced with a
functional device. However, the new device that is used may not be from the same manufacturer or
may not have the same device type and revision as the device being replaced. The Honeywell
Experion PKS DCS gives the user a simple and easy procedure to replace FF devices called 'Unlike
Device Replacement'. This procedure can be used in situations like replacing a non-Honeywell FF
device with a Honeywell FF device such as the SLG 700 FF Level Transmitter in the Experion system.
The Unlike Device Replacement report option in the control builder menu can be selected after
clicking on the failed device in the monitoring (On-line) side. This report contains the steps to perform
the device replacement procedure. The user can refer to Knowledge Builder in Experion PKS for more
detailed steps.

3.3 Configuring the function block application process

About the Function Block Application Process (FBAP)
The transmitter has one resource block, four transducer blocks, and seven function blocks respectively.
The DD-View feature supports all the blocks. The FBAP provides the block related information in a
much more organized way. The FBAP defines blocks to represent different types of application
functions.
In addition, the blocks have a static revision parameter. The revision level of the static data is
associated with the function block. To support tracking changes in static parameter attributes, the
associated block's static revision parameter is incremented each time a static parameter attribute value
is changed. In addition, the associated block's static revision parameter is incremented, if a static
parameter attribute is written but the value is not changed.
The FBAP supports two types of alarms: block alarms and process alarms. A block alarm is generated
whenever the BLOCK_ERR has an error bit set. The types of block error for the AI block are shown
in Table 3. The following alarms are supported by each function block:
Block Alarms
Block_ERR Block Alarms
Bit
0 Other
1 Block Configuration error
2 Link Configuration error
3 Simulation Active

Table 3: Bit mapping of the BLOCK_ERR

Least significant bit (LSB).
NOTE:
It is not supported by the transmitter.
A feature in FEATURES_SEL is set that is not supported by
features or an execution cycle in CYCLE_SEL is set that is not
supported by CYCLE_TYPE.
If the link is not configured properly.
The jumper or switch that enables simulation within the
resource is ON. The individual I/O function blocks disable the
simulation.
