Should you use RE/SE/CE or RBD/SBD/CBD? What is the difference? I thought the ERROR bit meant there was an error in the configuration, while RBD is looking at the Bad Status bit and Out of Service bit, which would be more appropriate in this case.

Code would look something like, assuming that your PIDA MEAS is connected to RO01 of the CALCA: a RE RI01 b RE RI02 c RE RI03 d RE RI04 e RE RI05 f OR 5 g BIF j h SE RO01 i EXIT j CE RO01 ... Your code ... The RE Reads the error bit on the inputs and the SE sets the error bit on the output; the CE clears it. I assume that your PIDA has CEOPT set to 2. If you set MBADOP to true, job done! -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert S Turner Sent: 02 June 2008 16:32 To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] [foxboro] I would "OR" the bad status bits of all the AIN blocks and connect the result to the MANSW of PIDA block. =3D "Ron Schafer" <rschafer@xxxxxxx ebirchpaper.com> To =3D Sent by: <foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> foxboro-bounce@fr cc =3D eelists.org =3D Subject =3D [foxboro] 06/02/2008 10:10 AM =3D =3D Please respond to foxboro@freelists .org =3D =3D Hmmm.... So my latest problem is like this.. I have 5 ain blocks that feed a calca (RI01-RI05) and get summed and divided by five. This output is sent to a PIDA as the Meas. The process eng wants the block to go to manual if any transmitter goes to a bad status. I thought I could "OR" the blksta from the ain blocks and send it to the pida's bad status bit along with mbad in the PIDA. Does anyone know how to connect bcalci bad status or have a better solution? _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
