Example: Alarm thresholds
The illustration shows the changing values of a tag monitoring a
motor’s revolutions per minute (rpm). With the threshold settings
illustrated, the motor must run between 2,000 rpm and 3,000 rpm, or
an alarm is triggered. In the illustration, an X shows when the tag goes
into alarm and an O shows when the tag goes out of alarm.
