Resource Block - Honeywell SLG 700 Option Manual

3.4 Resource block

The Resource block is used to describe characteristics of the Fieldbus device such as the device name,
manufacturer, and serial number. The block does not contain any input or output parameters. The
block contains data that is specific to the hardware associated with the resource. The resource block
monitors and controls the general operation of the device hardware. For example, if the resource block
is in out of service mode, it affects all the other blocks. The ITK_VER parameter is used to identify
the version of the Interoperability Tester. The transmitter's Revision and Versions, and Model Number
can be obtained by executing the methods available in the resource block.
The block modes are used to control major states of the resource:

The OOS mode stops all function block execution.

The user selects the desired mode as the target. Current mode of the block is shown as the
Actual mode.

The AUTO mode allows normal operation of the resource.
3.4.1. Configuring the Resource block
The Resource block supports scalar input and discrete input as HARD_TYPES. This parameter is a
read only bit string that indicates the types of hardware that are available for this resource. The
RS_STATE parameter contains the operational state of the Function Block Application for the data
containing that resource block.
RESTART
The RESTART parameter allows degrees of initialization of the resource.
Restart
Run (1)
Restart resource (2)
Restart with defaults (3)
Restart processor (4)
Rev.5
The passive state of the parameter.
Discards unnecessary alarms, and also discards the
resource dynamic values.
Resets all configurable function block application objects to
their initial value, which is their value before any
configuration is done.
Provides a way to press the reset button on the processor
associated with the resource.
