Note

The device does not use this parameter to restrict parameter access itself. It is only

for the benefit of host applications.

HARD_TYPES (I/O, Process)

A list of available channel types. As I/O modules are inserted and removed
from the FP-3000 bank, bits in this field change to reflect the presence or
absence of types of I/O channels.

HI_ALM (Alarming)

The current state of the high alarm, along with a time and date stamp.

HI_HI_ALM (Alarming)

The current state of the high-high alarm, along with a time and date stamp.

HI_HI_LIM (Alarming)

The limit, in PV units, beyond which the high-high limit alarm is
considered active.

HI_HI_PRI (Alarming)

The priority of the high-high limit alarm.

HI_LIM (Alarming)

The limit, in PV units, beyond which the high limit alarm is considered
active.
