AND the mask 0030 hex with the high order bits of the alarm status word.
0030 just happens to be the High and Low Deviation alarm bits.

Subject: [foxboro] Need Clarity on ALMSTA


Hello All,

I have recently found a parameter extension I don't understand. I have 
been all through my Foxboro documentation and have searched the CSC web 
site to no avail. However, I am a little thick between the ears and the 
answer to my question may be right in front of me. I have a switch block 
who's toggle is connected to a real alarm block. The connection is:

 COMPOUND:BLOCK.ALMSTA.AH0030

Can someone shed some light as to the AH0030 extension. I am familiar with 
using bit extensions but this extension baffles me. As I mentioned 
earlier, I have been through the documentation. I had hoped that 
Integrated Control Software Concepts B0193AW Chapter 8 - Block alarming 
would have answered my question.

Thanks in Advance for any and all help.


Regards,
Dwight
