Flashing
Active:
Dynamic elements linked to this variable start flashing, as soon as
this limit is violated.
The flashing can be acknowledged with a right double-click.
Inactive: No flashing will be
activated by this limit.
Default: inactive.
ATTENTION: In combination with
the property Delay this property in networks works in the following
way:
Limit with flashing and no delay: Linked elements flash on the
server and on the clients.
Limit with flashing and delay: Linked elements flash on the server,
but do not flash on the
clients
Alarm with flashing and no delay: Linked elements flash on the
server and on the clients.
Alarm with flashing and delay: Linked elements flash on the server
and on the clients.

in CEL
Active: In
case of a limit violation an entry in the Chronologic Event List
(CEL) is generated.
Inactive: No entry in the
Chronologic Event List is generated.
Default: inactive.

Alarm class
Assignment of an alarm class (max. 65535) for
the limit when used as alarm.
The assignment of the alarm class is done by selecting from the
list.
Default: 0 - (not used).

Color
Color information for the symbol coloring and the limit color when using the variables in the binary element; the color definition of the alarm texts in the alarm information list occurs in the alarm class definition

Delay time [s]
Duration (in seconds) that the limit violation
must be active. The value must be active for the defined duration
(without interruption), in order to trigger the configured actions
of the limit violation.
The time of the first violation is used as the time stamp for the
limit violation in the AML and/or the CEL.
ATTENTION: If
combined with the property "take over flashing from limit", this
property has the following effects in the network:
limit with flashing and without
delay: linked elements will flash on the server and on the
clients.
Limit with flashing and with
delay: linked elements will only flash on the server, not on
the clients.
Alarm with flashing and without
delay: linked elements will flash on the server and on the
clients.
Alarm with flashing and with
delay: linked elements will flash on the server and on the
clients.
Minimum: 0
Maximum: 4294967295
Default: 0
Function
Function, which should be executed
automatically in the Runtime, when the limit is violated.
If the condition is defined as an alarm, then the spontaneous
activation of the function can be suppressed (Option "Call via the
alarms administration").
If more than one function should be executed here, a script with
all the desired functions has to be created and the function for
executing the script is linked here.

Alarm group
Assignment of an alarm group (max. 65535) for
the limit when used as alarm.
The assignment of the alarm group is done by selecting from the
list.
Default: 0 - (not used).

Help chapter
Only available, if
the limit is an alarm:
Help chapter that should be displayed for this alarm in the alarm
list.
Read more in the online manual
Help file
Only available, if
the limit is an alarm:
File (*.chm), from which a help chapter should be displayed for
this alarm in the alarm list.
If here the string $PRG:xxxxxx is entered and the electroplan
implementation is licensed, instead of opening the help the
electroplan program is started with the parameter xxxxxx. The
property Help chapter is ignored, but must not be empty.
The EXE path of the electroplan program is defined in the file
zenOn6.ini in the entry EDOC_PATH in the section [PATH].

Invisible
Active:
Status is not displayed in the dynamic element "Binary element" or
elements are not displayed if their visibility is controlled by
this variable.
Inactive: The visibility is not
affected by the limit violation.
Default: inactive.

Minimum / Maximum
Minimum:
Limit violation when reaching or going below defined limit.
Maximum: Limit violation when
reaching or going above defined limit.
Default: Minimum.

Dynamic limit active
Specifies whether the limit text is fixed or whether it is dynamically determined via a variable.
active: The limit is not defined via a fixed technical value assignment but via the technical value of another variable.
Default: inactive
ATTENTION: If the variable limit changes, so that the current value of the variable is suddenly in the critical range without changing, there will also be a limit violation.
Limit
Only available, if
no dynamic limit is defined:
Defines the value, from which on the limit is violated.
If values above or below violate the limit, is defined by the
property "Minimum / Maximum".
Read more in the online manual
Active:
Alarm or limit violation (with set option "in CEL") is printed
online.
Inactive: No online
printing.
The global settings whether the alarm list or Chronologic Event
List (CEL) is printed is defined in the project properties.
Default: inactive.

Limit text
This text will be shown in the Alarm Message List, the Chronological Event List and/or the alarm status line (depending on the configuration) after a limit violation.
Dynamic limit
text: allows to include the current values of other
variables in the limit text of a variable and in the limit text of
reaction matrices. You can also link a fixed text with keywords
from a language table via an index. This leads to some
limitations:
static text will be stored in the memory area of the limit text,
which is limited to 128 characters. The values of the linked
variables are stored in the memory area of the comment text, which
is limited to 80 characters and a maximum of 3 variables.
These limitations can be circumvented by the extension for long dynamic limit texts. For this, you need to activate Long limit texts CEL and Long limit texts AML. Variable values for dynamic limit texts will then be stored in a separate file. Attention: When using dynamic limit texts, you cannot enter comments.
Threshold value
A threshold value can be defined that will be
used for clearing a limit violation. This avoids unwanted reactions
due to oscillating numerical values.
Example 1: a maximum value of 900
and a threshold of 10 result in 890
The limit will be violated when exceeding 900 and the critical area
will be left when falling under 890.
Example 2: a minimum value of 900
and a threshold of 10 result in 910
The limit will be violated when falling below 900 and the critical
area will be left when exceeding 910.
As opposed to the hysteresis, this property will only affect the
alarm behavior and not the representation of the value.
