Level alarms
A level alarm compares an analog value against predefined limits (also called thresholds)
and triggers an alarm when a limit is exceeded. For information about setting up tag-based
level alarms, see page 12-24.
Level alarm limits
When defining a level alarm, you can assign any of the following limits, with different
levels of severity:
 High High
 High
 Low
 Low Low
The High and High High alarm conditions monitor for a rising value, and the Low and
Low Low conditions monitor for a decreasing value.
