Creating a Change of State Alarm
You create a change of state alarm to trigger an alarm when a variable, such as a switch, is either true or false.
The change of state alarm monitors the state changes of digital variables. You configure the alarm to trigger when the variable changes its state to true or to false.
For example, you set up a change of state alarm that monitors a ventilation fan. If the fan breaks or stops working, the alarm is triggered.
You can configure the change of state alarms using shunt variable and time delay. 有关更多信息，请参阅 Alarm Functions .
