Type

The type is used to define the function of all monitoring configured in the group.

Type	Description of the
<no function>	No monitoring can be configured in the group. However, it is possible to add further subgroups whose type indicates a function. A group with the type <no function> is only used to structure the definitions.
Area monitoring	A variable is monitored. Up to 6 limits can be specified; if these are exceeded by the variable value, a bit of a variable defined as an output variable is set. In range monitoring, the limits divide the value range of the monitoring variable into a normal range and up to 6 monitoring ranges. In the normal range (between limit L/H), no bit is set in the output variable. Outside this range, the corresponding bit assigned to the range is set. Note: Only one bit is active at a time.
Limit value monitoring	A variable is monitored. Up to 6 limits can be specified. In limit value monitoring, the 6 limits are checked individually. If the variable value to be monitored is higher/lower than an upper/lower limit, the corresponding bit is set in the output variable. Note: Several bits can therefore be active at the same time.

Description of the

No monitoring can be configured in the group. However, it is possible to add further subgroups whose type indicates a function.

A group with the type <no function> is only used to structure the definitions.

Area monitoring

A variable is monitored. Up to 6 limits can be specified; if these are exceeded by the variable value, a bit of a variable defined as an output variable is set. In range monitoring, the limits divide the value range of the monitoring variable into a normal range and up to 6 monitoring ranges. In the normal range (between limit L/H), no bit is set in the output variable. Outside this range, the corresponding bit assigned to the range is set.

Note: Only one bit is active at a time.

Limit value monitoring

A variable is monitored. Up to 6 limits can be specified.

In limit value monitoring, the 6 limits are checked individually. If the variable value to be monitored is higher/lower than an upper/lower limit, the corresponding bit is set in the output variable.

Note: Several bits can therefore be active at the same time.
