3.6 Discrete Output (DO) Function Block

The Discrete Output (DO) block accepts a “command” value from the network user. This command
value flows through the DO block algorithm. The DO block then provides this “command” data to the
transducer block, and the actuator takes some action based on this “command.” The function block
also provides readback data allowing the network user to configure closed-loop control processes.
The DO block supports mode control and simulation.

There are two DO blocks in the MX/QX actuator device. Each DO function block can be assigned to
one of the following channels:

Channel

Channel Name

Description

354

DO_POSITION_CHAN

Command Stop/Open/Close

355

DO_ESD_CHAN

Command Emergency Shutdown

356

DO_RELAY_CHAN

Command Energize Relays

NOTE: Please note that the quality status bit must be set to “good”, prior to or while sending
command data. This is required in order for the actuator to respond to DO block commands. See
“Status Bit Definitions” section on page 70 for coding of quality status bits.
