Attributes Supported Modes The block supports the following modes: • AUTO (Automatic) • OOS (Out of Service). Alarm Types The block supports standard block alarms (see section 5.2). Note: Additional Function blocks (PID block, Signal Characterizer block, Arithmetic block, Input Selector block and Integrator block) are available only for a licensed version.
Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) block with auto tune The PID block is the key to many control schemes, and it is commonly used. The PID function integrates the errors. If there is difference in process time constants of a primary process and secondary process measurement, then the block can be cascaded if required.
Execution The Process Value to be controlled is connected to the IN input. The value is passed through a filter, and its time constant is PV_FTIME. The value is then shown as the PV, which is used in conjunction with the SP in the PID algorithm. A PID does not integrate if the limit status of IN input is constant, or if further control action based on the PID error proceeds IN input further towards its active status limit.
Page 72
PID Control block is an algorithm that produces an output signal in response to the measured variable and the setpoint. The PID block allows you to choose either a standard PID control equation (Ideal) or a robust PID equation defined by Honeywell. This selection is defined in the PID_FORM parameter.
Ideal PID Fixed for Ideal PID form - not configurable. Robust PID 2 • T 7500 Zero permitted which implies no output lag. BAL_TIME Not used in Honeywell Implementation. Revision 4 Foundation Fieldbus RMA803 Remote Indicator User's Guide Page 57...
Auto tuning Cycle tuning The PID block supports the Cycle tuning algorithm. In Cycle tuning, the tuning parameter values are derived from the process response to the resultant action of causing the PV to oscillate about a SP value. The tuning method uses the measured ultimate gain and period to produce tuning parameter values, by using the relationship developed by Ziegles Nichols equations.
Parameter list Table 20: PID block parameters Parameter Description ST_REV The revision level of the static data associated with the function block. The revision value is incremented each time a static parameter value in the block is changed. TAG_DESC The user description of the application of the block.

TUNE_REQ Tuning Request performs auto tuning process. Auto Tune Indicator indicates Auto tune ON/OFF. AT_MODE Auto Tune Mode supports two options: AT Ready, Inactive •...
Input Selector block The Input Selector block performs maximum, minimum, middle, average and ‘first good’ input selection. The Input Selector block provides selection of up to eight inputs and generates an output based on the selected type of input. The block functions as a rotary position switch, or a validated priority selection based on the use of the first good parameter and the disable_n parameter.
Selection Processing • If OP_SELECT is non-zero, the OP_SELECT value determines the selected input, irrespective of the SELECT_TYPE selection. The value of SELECTED is the number of the input used. • If SELECT_TYPE is ‘First Good’, it transfers the value of the first remaining input to the output of the block.
Parameters List Table 21: Input Selector block parameters Parameter Description ST_REV The revision level of the static data associated with the function block. The revision value increments each time a static parameter value in the block is changed. TAG_DESC The user description of the application of the block. STRATEGY Used to identify grouping of blocks.

Parameter Description DISABLE_5 Parameter to switch off the input from being used. 0-Use, 1 -Disable. DISABLE_6 Parameter to switch off the input from being used. 0-Use, 1 -Disable. DISABLE_7 Parameter to switch off the input from being used. 0-Use, 1 -Disable. DISABLE_8 Parameter to switch off the input from being used.
Attributes Supported The block supports the following modes: Modes • AUTO (Automatic) • MAN (Manual) • OOS (Out of Service). Alarm Types The block supports standard block alarms, (see section 5.2). Status During normal operations, the value and status of the selected input Handling is shown by OUT.
Integrator block The Integrator block integrates a variable as a function of time, and also accumulates the counts from a Pulse Input block. The block is used as a totalizer that counts up until reset or as a batch totalizer that has a setpoint, and the integrated or accumulated value is compared to pre-trip and trip settings.
The usage is as follows: Rate It is used when the variable connected to the input is a rate, that is Kg/s, w, Gal/hour, and so on. This input can come from the rate output OUT of an Analog Input block. Accum It is used when the input comes from the OUT_ACCUM output of a Pulse Input block, which represents a continuous accumulation of pulse counts from a transducer, or from the output of...
Page 87
If the input option is Accum The Integrator block determines the number of additional counts from the counter input readings from the last execution. The difference in count is determined as follows: • If the difference between the reading in one cycle and the reading in the preceding cycle is less than 500,000 or greater than (- 500,000), the difference must be taken as the variation.
Page 88
Integration of Inputs There are three internal registers used for the totalization: • Total = The net increment is added every cycle, irrespective of the status. • Atotal = The absolute value of the net increment is added every cycle, irrespective of status. •...
Page 89
Resetting the totals The block uses a discrete input RESET_IN to reset the internal integration registers. The operator can send a command to reset the same registers by making OP_CMD_INT = RESET. This is a momentary switch that turns-off when the block is evaluated. The option “Confirm Reset” in INTEG_OPTS, if set, prevents another reset from occurring until the value 1 has been written to RESET_CONFIRM.
Page 90
When this option is selected, only reverse flows is considered for integration. If there is no reverse flow inputs (whose value is negative), and if one inputs is forward (whose value is positive) the integration continues. Note: If both the inputs are forward, then the integration stops. INTEG_OPTS: 0 (Use uncertain) When this option is selected, the input (IN_1/IN_2) whose status is Uncertain is considered for integration.

SRTOTAL The snapshot of RTOTAL just before a reset The snapshot of TOTAL_SP. INTEG_TYPE Defines the type of counting (up or down) and the type of resetting (demand or periodic)
Attributes Supported The block supports the following modes: Modes • AUTO (Automatic) • MAN (Manual) • OOS (Out of Service). Alarm Types The block supports standard block alarms, (see section 5.2). Status If an input has status as Uncertain or Bad, then the limit status of Handling the inputs is ignored, as is the sub status.
Arithmetic block The Arithmetic block is designed for using popular measurement math functions easily. The math algorithm is selected by name and the type of function to be performed. The block is used for calculating measurements from a combination of signals from the sensors. The block must not be used in a control path.
Figure 17: Arithmetic schematic diagram The remaining three inputs (IN_1, IN_2, and IN_3) are combined with the PV in a selection of four term math functions. To ensure that the PV enters the equation with the right units, the inputs used to form the PV must come from devices with the desired engineering units.

COMP_HI_LIM Determines the high limit of the compensation input.
5.10 Signal Characterizer block The Signal Characterizer block describes the input/output relationship for any type of function. The block has two paths, each with an output that is a non-linear function of the corresponding input. The non-linear function is configured based on a single look-up table with 21 arbitrary x-y pairs. To use the block in a control or process signal path, the status of an input is provided to the corresponding output.
To derive the output value that corresponds to the input, use the following formula, y = mx + c Where, • m is the slope of the line. • c is the y-intercept of the line Figure 19: Signal characterizer curve The values of x must increase sequentially for interpolation to be applicable.
Parameter list Table 24: Signal Characterizer block parameters Parameter Description ST_REV The revision level of the static data associated with the function block. The revision value is incremented each time a static parameter value in the block is changed. TAG_DESC The use description of the intended application of the block.
Attributes Supported The block supports the following modes: Modes • AUTO (Automatic) • MAN (Manual) • OOS (Out of Service). Alarm Types The block supports standard block alarms, (see section 5.2). Status OUT_1 shows the status of IN_1 and OUT_2 shows the status of Handling IN_2.
5.11 MAO Block Execution The MAO block provides its eight input parameters to the I/O subsystem. The output function block acts upon the inputs from another function block and passes its output to the LCD Transducer block. However, if an input has a fault state status, the previous value or a user set value (FSTATE_VAL1 - FSTATE_VAL8) is passed depending on the options (MS_OPTS) that have been enabled.
Use fault state value on Used when the input 4 is in the fault state at restart 4 restart Use fault state value on Used when the input 5 is in the fault state at restart 5 restart Use fault state value on Used when the input 6 is in the fault state at restart 6 restart...
FSTATE_TIME The delay time(in seconds) the MAO function block takes to set the fault state status if an input becomes Bad and stays in that state fault state. FSTATE_VAL1 A value transferred as input 1 to LCD Transducer Block during fault state condition.
6. RMA803 FF Remote Indicator Operation Operational considerations There are a number of considerations that must be noted when configuring a Remote Indicator to operate in a fieldbus network. LAS Capability The Remote Indicator is capable of operating as the Link Active Scheduler (LAS). The LAS is a fieldbus feature which controls traffic on the network, such as controlling token-rotation and coordinating data publishing.
Figure 21: Connecting the Remote Indicator to the handheld Performing block instantiation About block instantiation A block instance is a copy of an available block in the device. There are totally 10 permanent blocks, and ten instances of 4 functional blocks can be created. Only 4 blocks support instantiation in a device.

This reduces the traffic on the link and therefore reduces the time required for the download to complete. Parallel Firmware downloads from single CB Firmware downloads to a single FIM should be done from single CB instance. This reduces the chance of initiating multiple downloads to the same H1 link from different users.
Licensing for Function Blocks Enabling the ‘Additional Function blocks’ option in device requires user to activate the license. Therefore, the following steps need to be followed in order to activate that option: If the license is required after the device was originally shipped: •...
8. RMA803 FF Remote Indicator Troubleshooting Troubleshooting overview This section contains information to help you identify the faults in devices and the recommended actions to correct them. Troubleshooting is performed to determine the cause of the fault by analyzing the device indications (such as device not visible on network or not able to write values to parameters.) Device status and faults The Remote Indicator constantly runs internal background diagnostics to monitor the functions and...
Troubleshooting the Remote Indicator Device not visible on the network If a device cannot be seen on the fieldbus network, the device may not be powered up or possibly the supervisory or control program is not able to find (or polling) the node address of that device. See the following table for possible causes and recommended actions.

Honeywell-defined parameters are not visible. Possible cause Things to check Recommended action Incorrect Standard...
Troubleshooting blocks Non-functioning blocks Device block objects may not be running (executing their function block schedules) or the blocks may be in Out of Service (OOS) mode due to block configuration error. For example, if the PID function block is in OOS mode, the block does not provide updated output values, although the PID block may be running.

Transducer block mode is in OOS and does not change to Read MODE_BLOCK. If necessary, Set AUTO mode.
If display is available, remove and reconnect the local display, and check if display powers up. If display is not powering up contact Honeywell TAC. NOTE If a user goes to menus/sub menus in the display, the parameter change will fail. He must navigate out of the menus.

Resolving the block configuration errors Table 34 lists the parameters of all the blocks that can cause the status bit of Block Configuration Error to be set in their respective BLOCK_ERR parameters. The following table provides the initial values and the valid range for the parameters. ATTENTION Block configuration errors can only be cleared if the function block is being executed (running).
Device Diagnostics RMA803 FF Remote Indicator memory The Remote Indicator contains a number of areas of memory. An EEPROM provides a non-volatile memory area for static and non-volatile parameter values. The Remote Indicator also contains areas of RAM and ROM. Performing diagnostics in the background Block objects (Resource, Transducer and Function blocks), the communications stack and other device objects, each of them have an allotted area of memory for their corresponding database.
Restoring the Remote Indicator to default settings Remote Indicator Diagnostics Remote Indicator faults are grouped into one of these two diagnostic categories and could cause the following results: Critical and Non-Critical Fault Remote Indicator continues to read PVs from other Remote Indicators connected to the RMA803.
Understanding simulation mode About simulation mode jumper If the process is not running, a simulation mode is available in the Remote Indicator which aids in system debug. When simulation mode is enabled, user can simulate Field Diagnostic Alarm from Resource Blocks. Setting simulation jumper A hardware jumper on the Communication Module assembly is set to enable or disable the SIMULATE parameter.
Table 36: Setting the Simulation Jumper Set the Jumper to: Disable the SIMULATE parameter. “OFF” position on the Transducer board. (Set Remote Indicator for normal operation.) Enable the SIMULATE parameter. “ON” position on the Transducer board. (For testing or debugging purposes.) Enabling simulation mode The SIMULATE parameter is enabled by setting the hardware simulation jumper to the “ON”...
Understanding write protection The software write lock feature can be enabled, only if the hardware write lock feature is disabled. If the software write lock feature is enabled without disabling the hardware write lock feature, then the software write lock feature gets disabled automatically. If the hardware write lock feature is selected with the hardware jumper being enabled, the selection is rejected.
