An automatic trip is an action performed by some system, usually a Safety Instrumented System, Programmable Logic Controller, or Distributed Control System, to put an industrial process into a safe state. It is triggered by some parameter going into a pre-determined unsafe state. It is usually preceded by an alarm to give a process operator a chance to correct the condition to prevent the trip, since trips are usually costly because of lost production.[1]
