• Attach periodicity / number of occurrences to the
condition
Examples -
(Pressure1 < 68 AND Valve1 = OFF )
If this occurs 5 times in 30 minutes, then set condition true
(Abs(Zone1Temp – Zone1SetTemp) >= Zone1TempTolerence OR
Abs(Zone2Temp – Zone2SetTemp) >= Zone2TempTolerence )
If this condition occurs and stays for 10 seconds, set condition true
