Appendix C Fieldbus ParametersFieldPoint FP-3000 User ManualC-10 ©National Instruments CorporationHARD_TYPESA list of available channel types. As I/O modules are inserted and removedfrom the FP-3000 bank, bits in this field change to reflect the presence orabsence of types of I/O channels.HI_ALMThe current state of the high alarm, along with a time and date stamp.HI_HI_ALMThe current state of the high-high alarm, along with a time and date stamp.HI_HI_LIMThe limit, in PV units, beyond which the high-high limit alarm isconsidered active.HI_HI_PRIThe priority of the high-high limit alarm.HI_LIMThe limit, in PV units, beyond which the high limit alarm is consideredactive.HI_PRIThe priority of the high limit alarm.IO_OPTSA bitmask used to adjust the way I/O blocks operate. Table C-7 describesthe operation bitmasks.Table C-6. Hard TypesBitmask DescriptionAnalog Input This bit is set if the FP-3000 has analog input channels available.Analog Output This bit is set if the FP-3000 has analog output channels available.Discrete Input This bit is set if the FP-3000 has discrete input channels available.Discrete Output This bit is set if the FP-3000 has discrete output channels available.
