It means the pump has stopped running as a result of the control system turning the pump off, known as "tripping" the pump.

Example causes are high high pressure, low low pressure, low flow, excess amps, over heating of motor, excessive seal leakage.

The things which can "trip" the pump are normally shown in the Cause and Effects (C & E) diagram.

Some problem with the pump caused the motor starter to disengage (trip).
