A4.17 Mode Shedding upon
Computer Failure
When the data status of RCAS_IN or ROUT_IN,
which is the setting received from a computer as
the setpoint SP, falls to Bad while the PID block
is running in the RCas or ROut mode, the mode
shedding occurs in accordance with the settings in
SHED_OPT.
A4.17.1 SHED_OPT
The SHED_OPT setting stipulates the
specifications of mode shedding as shown below.
Only one can be set.

as shown below. In fact, if Normal shed, normal

NOTE: If a control block is connected as a cascade primary
block of the PID block in question, a mode transition of
the PID block to Cas occurs in the following sequence
due to initialization of the cascade connection: RCas or
ROut → Auto → Cas.
A4.18 Alarms
There are two kinds of alarms generated by a PID
block: block and process alarms.
A4.18.1 Block Alarm (BLOCK_ALM)
The block alarm BLOCK_ALM is generated upon
occurrence of either of the following errors (values
set in BLOCK_ERR) and notifies the content of
BLOCK_ERR.
Value of
BLOCK_ERR
Condition
Input Failure
IN.status of the PID block is either of
the following:
• Bad-Device Failure
• Bad-Sensor Failure
Local Override
MODE_BLK.actual of the PID block
is LO.
Out of Service
MODE_BLK.target of the PID block is
O/S.
A4.18.2 Process Alarms
There are six types of process alarms. Only one
process alarm can be generated at the same time,
and the process alarm having the highest priority
level from among those occurring at the same
time is generated. The priority level is set for each
process alarm type.
