38 CIM_LogicalElement

CIM_DiscreteSensor

The CIM_DiscreteSensor class described in Table 3-11 has a set of legal string values that it can report.

The CIM_DiscreteSensor will always have a "current reading" that corresponds to one of the

enumerated values.

CIM_NumericSensor

The CIM_NumericSensor class described in Table 3-12 returns numeric settings and may also support

threshold settings. Figure 3-2 shows the relationship among upper and lower critical and upper and lower

noncritical threshold values. The normal range falls between upper and lower noncritical thresholds.
