Re: [foxboro] RV: Open loop alarm

AOUTs don't have readback in older modules. There are new AOUTs that do.

I thought the question was about AINs.

Well, I must have a day zero system (no pun intended :).  Or maybe you can 
help me out here.  I built an AOUT block to point #8 on a FBM04 with no 
wires on it.  I set BAD=1, IOMOPT=1, SCO=3.  I put the block in AUTO and 
manipulated the MEAS.  It was faithfully conditioned and passed through to 
OUT; no alarms were generated, and INITO was 0.  Is there anything else 
one has to do to get it to alarm and/or initialize on open loop?

I'll try it on a FBM237 next week when we get one hooked up.

If you set the SCI to the proper value (4-20ma) and set the BAD option, 
you
get the described behavior for 4-20ma signals. This has been true since 
day
one.

On which version of I/A does this happen?  Open loops on analog outputs
are not detected on any version I've used up to 7.1/CP60, even with the
BAD option set, on legacy or 200-series FBMs.  I remember being quite
surprised at this, as it is a standard feature on the Honeywell AO blocks
I used before coming to I/A.  It would be nice to have.
