4.4.6.1 Fault Monitor Example
In this example, a sensor is monitoring the temperature of an engine block. If the temperature rises above 275°F, a warning
message is displayed. If the temperature rises above 350°F, the engine shuts down and a failure message is displayed.

Setpoints -> High Warning 275°F
Setpoints -> High Failure 350°F
The chart above shows the connection between engine temperature and time. At approximately 13 minutes run time, the
temperature rises above the 275°F warning threshold, activating the warning display. The engine will continue to run because it
has not reached the 350°F failure threshold. At 20 minutes run time, the temperatures falls below the warning threshold and the
warning disappears.
