Original Ć June 1990CE4.2:CL6211
Similarly, if an absolute alarm is configured as a low alarm and the value
of the process variable goes below the trip point, then the alarm is set.
When the process variable increases above the level defined by the trip
point plus the deadband, the alarm is cleared. Figure 3Ć10 illustrates the
relationship between the process variable, the alarm trip points and the
deadband.

Figure 3Ć10. Absolute Alarms
The absolute alarm equations are shown below:
The alarm is set if: PV >= HTP or PV <= LTP
The alarm is cleared when: PV < ( HTP - DB ) or PV > ( LTP + DB )
Where:
DB = deadband
HTP = high trip point
LTP = low trip point
PV = process variable
Deviation Alarm
A deviation alarm is triggered when the absolute value of the difference
between the process variable and the set point exceeds the value of the
deviation alarm trip point. The deviation alarm is cleared when the
absolute difference between the process variable and the set point is
less than the value of the deviation alarm trip point minus the deadband.
Figure 3Ć11 shows the points at which the deviation alarm is set and
cleared.
