The options on the DCS Block tab allow you to define DCS control function block properties. Note that these properties can be shared by Smart Instrumentation and various DSC vendors such Emerson's DeltaV. Therefore, some of these properties may have been retrieved from these systems prior to opening this dialog.

DCS control function blocks
