The alarm trip level in engineering units.
The hysteresis trip level in engineering units. Activated at the alarm trip level
but deactivated only when the process variable has moved into the safe
region by an amount equal to the hysteresis value – see Process alarm
examples below.
If an alarm trip value is exceeded, the alarm does not become active until
the Time Hysteresis value has expired. If the signal goes out of the alarm
condition before the Time Hysteresis has expired, the hysteresis timer is
reset.
