Tim,

The Version 6.3 E-Doc seems to cover the topic pretty well
(foxdoc/b0193/aw/aw_06.htm).  For details on specific bits for specific
block parameters, try using the ICC "help" E-Doc (foxdoc/help/icchelp.hlp).

This brings up a good point though.  Is there ANY documentation anywhere for
how to figure out these ALMSTA, BLKSTA, and INHALM bit extensions?  Could
somebody come up with something and submit it to Cassandra?  I don't have
the first idea how to do this, so a little primer would be nice.

        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.

        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
