Page 269 Revised 2017-08-31 Events Drawing No. LP0997-C Configuration The Event Expression is a logical equation built to combine the condition/status of multiple events into a single action. Other events will be referenced by their Event Name. These operands will evaluate those event's condition/status to be a 0 (false/inactive) or 1 (true/active).
Page 270 Events Revised 2017-08-31 Configuration Drawing No. LP0997-C Data Match: The value of the register is equal to the alarm value. Data Mismatch: The value of the register is not equal to the alarm value. Absolute High: The value of the register exceeds the alarms value. Absolute Low: The value of the register falls below the alarms value.
