    is it true that connect this DO to SP_D of DC function block?

    It's not clear for me why to use a DO output to control a DC. Maybe you mean a you have a digital input (DI) having motor RUN STATUS on field??

    I suggest not to write into SP_D of a DC becuse DC itself writes on it on some circumstances and this will lead to unexpected behavior.

    yes, i have a DI as run status! when it's 1, it means my device is on running. unfortunately i can't change device condition to running or starting. it's just STOPPED.
    how can change this state?

    OK, that RUN STATUS is motor running confirmation, or do you have a separated signal for that?
    That motor will be controlled from field only or must be operable from DCS as well?

    You can use TRACK_IN_D. First enable TRACK IN in DC Control Options parameter.
    When TRACK_IN_D is active (1) you DC will set it's state to match field state (as configured on DC State_Mask parameter).

    yes, it's motor running confirmation. this motor will be controlled from field and by operator.
    i did that (active TRK_IN_D), but nothing to do
  • You should use a DI block with the On/Off words as Running and Stopped. 
    If you have to use a DCD block for some reason configure the DCD with IN1 as your field DI. Set the DCD mask so that all inputs and outputs except IN1 are don't care. Then the DCD will show the motor as running or stopped depending on field value.
