9.6.1 PIOMB block state after configuration and load

Main tab
The PIOMB block can be loaded only if it is associated with a PDC. When loaded, the PDC Name Reference
(PDCNAMEREF) will display the name of the PDC that is associated with this PIOMB. The PGM Name
(PGMNAME) will display the name of the PGM to which the PDC is associated.
Also, if the PROFIBUS I/O channel blocks are assigned to the Control Module containing this PIOMB, the
Currently Assigned Channels (CHNLNAME) area will display the channels that are associated to this PIOMB.
Module Configuration tab
When the PIOMB is loaded, the Connection Status (PDCCONNSTATUS) will be "Connected" indicating that
the communication with the device is intact.
If the Execution State (EXECSTATE) parameter is made "INACTIVE", the PIOMB will hold the output values
and stops providing the input values to the control strategies.
Channel Configuration tab
When a PIOMB is associated with a PDC, the channel high range and the channel low range values of each
channel is made available to the PIOMB. The Channel Configuration tab will display the channel-specific
configuration data such as the channel description (CHANDESC), channel type (CHANNELTYPE), channel
data type (CHANNELDATATYPE), channel high range (CHANHIRANGE), channel low range
(CHANLORANGE).
For analog input channels, the CHANHIRANGE and the CHANLORANGE will display the high and low
ranges of the channels based on the DSB.
For digital channels, the CHANHIRANGE and the CHANLORANGE will display the values "1" and "0"
respectively.
Runtime Data tab
This tab will display the live process data of the channels. The Digital Channel Data (CHANDATADIG) will
display the live digital channel data. The Analog Channel Data (CHANDATAANA) will display the live analog
channel data. The Numeric Channel Data (CHANDATANUM) will display the live numeric channel data. The
Channel Status (CHANSTATUS) will display the channel status of individual channels.
