CIM_LogicalElement 51
CIM_DiscreteSensor
The CIM_DiscreteSensor class described in Table 3-12 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 3-13 returns numeric
settings and may also support threshold settings. Figure 3-2 shows the
relationship among upper and lower critical and upper and lower non-critical
threshold values. The normal range falls between upper and lower non-critical
thresholds.
