The point's current state depends on its point class and alarm conditions.

For all point classes, the states that can be displayed are:

NORMAL

The point's value is within normal limits, and no alarms are outstanding.

UNAVAILABLE

If the point is a device point, communications with the device have failed, and the point can no longer be read.

If the point is a virtual point, one or more of the source points that comprise this point is unavailable.

For Analog and APPL point classes, the additional states that can be displayed are:

ALARM HIGH

The point's value is greater than the high alarm limit.

ALARM LOW

The point's value is less than the low alarm limit.

WARNING HIGH

The point's value is greater than the warning high limit and less than the alarm high limit.

WARNING LOW

The point's value is less than the warning low limit and greater than the alarm low limit.

OUT OF RANGE

The point is an Analog or APPL device point with engineering units conversion, and its value exceeds one of its conversion limits.

For the Digital (Boolean) point class, the additional states that can be displayed are:

ALARM

The point's value is in the alarm state.

WARNING

You will only see this message if Enable Alarms has been reset, Enable Warning is set, and the point's value is in the alarm state.
