IFC090-FF Block Description
Parameter Access
ACK_OPTION R/W
ALARM_SUM Mix
Description
Allows to enable automatic acknowledge of Resource Block alarms. The following
settings are valid for Resource Block:
Unack Alarm 1 (Discrete Alarm) clearing of soft write lock
Unack Alarm 8 (Block Alarm) block mode switches to Out of Service
If set, the respective alarm doesn’t have to be acknowledged when occurring.
see also: ALARM_SUM, WRITE_LOCK, WRITE_ALM
Display of process alarms. The current alarm is displayed in the current field and can
have the following values:
Discrete Alarm the soft write lock was cleared
Block Alarm block mode switches to Out of Service
The additional fields unacknowledged and unreported give respective information
about the current alarm state. The field disabled, which is the only writable field of this
parameter, can be used to disable these alarms.
see also: ACK_OPTION
ALERT_KEY R/W
ALERT_KEY parameter contains the identification number of the plant unit. It helps to
identify the location (plant unit) of an event. The handling of this parameter is up to the
control system or control person, respectively.
BLOCK_ALM R
Display of current block state. Field subcode gives information about the state current
errors. The following errors can occur:
Change in Simulation Jumper
Local Override
Device Fault State
Memory Failure

CLR_FSTATE R/W
Writing a Clear to this parameter will clear the device fault state if the field condition, if
any, has cleared.
Time the resource waits for receipt confirmation of an earlier sent report, before trying
to send a new one. If zero (0), no retry will be performed.

are available:
Scheduled
Completion of block execution
see also: CYCLE_TYPE
Identifies the block execution methods available for this resource.
It is possible to deliver devices which have the DD for its resource within the device.
This parameter assigns the tag where to find the DD in the resource. Since the
IFC090-FF doesn't come with a 'build-in' DD, this value is blank.
Revision associated with the DD of the resource – used by interface devices to locate
the DD file for the resource.
KROHNE revision number associated with this resource – used by interface devices to
locate the DD file for the resource.
KROHNE model number of the IFC090-FF – used by interface devices to locate the
DD file for the resource.
Condition set by loss of communication to an output block.
NOTE:
Since the IFC090-FF doesn’t have an output block, this parameter isn’t supported.
FEATURES R
Used to show supported resource block options. The following features are supported
by the IFC090-FF:
Soft Write Lock
see also: FEATURE_SEL
FEATURE_SEL R/W
Used to select supported features. The following features are selectable:
Soft Write Lock enable soft write locking of parameters
see also: FEATURE_SEL
FREE_TIME R
Available time for configuration of further blocks.
NOTE:
Since the IFC090 blocks are preconfigured, this value is always zero (0).
FREE_SPACE R
Available memory for configuration of further blocks.
NOTE:
Since the IFC090 blocks are preconfigured, this value is always zero (0).
GRANT_DENY R/W
Options for controlling access of host computer and local control panels to operating,
tuning and alarm parameters of the block.
NOTE:
This parameter is not supported by IFC090-FF
HARD_TYPES R

Analog Input Block input parameter. For the IFC090-FF this is ‘Scalar Input’ (1).
ITK_VER R
Major revision number of the interoperability test case used in certifying this device as
interoperable.
NOTE:
Due to an error, this value is ‘0’, but has to be ‘4’ (since the IFC090-FF is interoperable
with interoperability test case version 4).
Maximum number of unconfirmed alert notifies messages allowed. This number
always has to be less than MAX_NOTIFY.

Maximum number of unconfirmed notifies messages possible.
see also: LIM_NOTIFY
Available configuration memory in the empty resource.
NOTE:
This parameter is not supported by IFC090.
Time duration of the shortest cycle interval of which the IFC090 is capable. Within this
cycle all Function Blocks (1 Analog Input + 2 Integrators) have to be executed for one
time.
Display of the current (actual), desired (target), possible (permitted) and normal modes
of the Resource Block. By writing a permitted value to the target field, you can control
the execution modes of the block. The following block modes are allowed for the
IFC090-FF Resource Block:
Automatic Mode (AUTO)
In this mode, the complete resource is able to execute. All other blocks
(Transducer, Analog Input, Integrator) can switch to a mode different from Out of
Service)
Out of Service (OOS)
In this mode, the complete resource stops its execution. For the other blocks
it is not possible to switch to AUTO mode, unless the Resource Block does.
NOTE:
Under certain conditions (e.g. RS_STATE = ONLINE_LINKING) the Resource Block is
not capable of switching to AUTO mode.
see also: RS_STATE
NV_CYCLE_T R
Minimum time interval between two cycles of writing non-volatile parameters OUT, PV
and FIELD_VAL. Since these values are not saved, this value is always zero (0) which
means don’t save these parameters.
RESTART R/W
Allows a manual restart to be initiated. Several degrees of restart are possible:
RUN Setting for normal operation.
RESTART RESOURCE Warm start of the IFC090-FF.
RESTART WITH DEFAULTS Sets all FF parameters to their default values.
To be used with caution! RESTART PROCESSOR Cold start of IFC090 measurement electronics
and warm start of FF process.
RS_STATE R
State of the function block application state machine. The following states are possible:
ONLINE Normal operation state: All defined links are established.
INITIALIZATION Initialization state: All alarms will be confirmed and
ONLINE-LINKING Link evaluation state: Wait until all links are established
STANDBY Out of Service state: Entered if mode of Resource Block is
SET_FSTATE R/W

setting to ‘Set’.
NOTE:
Since the IFC090-FF doesn’t have an output block, this parameter is not supported.

Time duration for the monitoring-cycle in which a function block in mode RCAS has to
answer on control system requests.

OOS.
NOTE:
Since the IFC090-FF has no function block capable of switching to mode RCas, this
parameter is not supported.

SHED_ROUT R/W
Description
Time duration for the monitoring-cycle in which a function block in mode Rout has to
answer on control system requests.
NOTE:
Since the IFC090-FF has no function block capable of switching to mode Rout, this
parameter is not supported.
STRATEGY R/W
Parameter used to group a set of blocks. This is done by assigning the same
STRATEGY numerical value to all blocks belonging to one group.
NOTE:
This parameter is neither checked nor used by the function block application! It can be
used by control system to group blocks!
ST_REV R
Static data revision counter. ST_REV will be incremented if a static Resource Block
parameter has changed. By checking this parameter, control systems are able to
realize if a static parameter has changed its value without checking all static
parameters all the time.
TAG_DESC R/W
User description of the intended application of the block. The user is free in setting this
value. The only limitation is the length of 32 characters at maximum. It is not checked
by the application, but has informational character only.
TEST_RW R/W
Read/write test parameter. It is only used during Fieldbus Foundation interoperability
testing and has no meaning for normal operation!
UPDATE_EVT R
Alert generated by a change to static data. The subfields of this parameter give
detailed information about the changed static parameter, time of change and state of
the update event.
WRITE_ALM R
Alarm generated, if the parameter write lock is cleared.
see also: ACK_OPTION, WRITE_LOCK, WRITE_PRI
WRITE_LOCK R/W
If this parameter is set to ‘Locked’ (2) all writable parameters in all blocks are write
protected, with the exception of WRITE_LOCK itself. Dynamic data will continue to be
updated.
To disable the write protection, set this parameter to ‘Not Locked’ (1).
IFC090-FF Block Description
WRITE_PRI R/W
see also: ACK_OPTION, WRITE_ALM, WRITE_PRI
Priority of the alarm generated by clearing the WRITE_LOCK:
0 alarm isn't be evaluated
1 no notification to the control system in case of an write protection alarm
2 reserved for block alarms
3-7 write protection is send as user/operator note to the control system,
according to the given priority (3 = low and 7 = high)
8-15 write protection alarm is sent with the appropriate priority
(15 = high and 8 = low).

(cubic meter per second).
Start zero point calibration by writing a value different from ‘0’.
NOTE:
Handle this parameter with caution, since a correct zero point calibration is
based some important conditions.
Directory that specifies the number, starting index, and DD2 item IDs of the
