Before programming a function block’s input parameter with a CV’s (Calculated Value) output code, you
must program the CV first. Otherwise, the CV’s output parameter will not be available for programming.
The function block SY (System Parameter) operates internally and cannot be programmed. It
automatically produces outputs which reflect the status of alarms, data storage, diagnostics, and
reference junction temperature. These outputs can be used as inputs to function blocks.
How to program an input parameter with a number
Besides connecting an input parameter to another function block, you can program an input parameter
with a number. The instrument will accept -999,999 to 9,999,999.
Continuing with the previous example, assume we want Loop #2’s Setpoint #2 to be a number.
Therefore, we must program Loop #2’s Setpoint #2 parameter with a number, say 95. The following
procedure shows how.
