3.5.1 Setting the notification limit
Description of functions
The notification limitation function enables a repeated delay to be set for the
specifiable time span, during which no notifications are sent after the initial one.
This prevents, for example, a glut of alarms being output in the event of a faulty
configuration, or trigger signals.

prevent, if necessary, an overflow in the mailbox.
