I can't understand your circuit because it is not attached to the OP.

It looks like either a voltage comparator with a LOT of hysteresis, or an inverting amplifier with gain, where the positive and negative inputs are reversed.

It looks like a Schmidt Trigger. The output voltage adds to the input and maintains the output at either the + or - rail even with small variations in the input voltage. There is both a positive and negative threshold at which the Schmidt Trigger will change state. They are the input voltages that will cause the voltage at pin 3 of the opamp to cross zero volts. Since R62 is a variable resistor and can be varied between 0 and 10K ohms the threshold voltage can be varied a little. To find the threshold voltage use this formula. (Vcc/(R55 + R62))*R54. For the values given and R62 at 0 ohms, 5K ohms and 10K ohms the thresholds would be 15V, 7.5 V and 6 volts respectively.
