4 Detailed Configuration
The FieldQ QC34 Module contains the following
function blocks:
Block Index
Resource 1000
Transducer 1100
Discrete Input (DI) 1200
Discrete Input (DI) 1300
Discrete Output (DO) 1400
Analog Input (AI) 1500
PID 1600
See chapter 3, table 3.3, which channel should be
assigned to which function block.
This section contains more detailed information for
configuring the Resource and Transducer Block
parameters to setup the module. Access to each
parameter depends upon the host system software.
For information on using the host system to modify
block parameters, see the appropriate appendix and
host system documentation.
- For reading or writing identification parameters
open the resource block.
- For reading or writing configuration parameters
and alerts open the transducer block.
4.1 Resource block
The Resource Block describes the characteristics of
the fieldbus device such as device name and type,
manufacturer, serial number, amount of free memory,
and free time. There is only one Resource Block in
the module.
The parameters for configuring the Resource Block
are referenced by group within the following sections.
