Event Scheduling A method of triggering program execution when some specific
condition occurs such as the arrival of a new Snapshot event
for a particular point. Event scheduling is one method available
for triggering PE or Advanced Computing Engine (ACE)
calculations.
ExcDev The base attribute that specifies exception deviation in
engineering units. ExcDev specifies the deadband or how
much a new value must differ from the previous value sent to
the Snapshot subsystem on the FactoryTalk Historian ME
server in order to determine whether the new value is
significant and should also be sent.
ExcMax The base attribute that specifies exception maximum time, in
seconds. ExcMax is the maximum time difference from the last
sent event before the next event will be sent. ExcMax thus
effectively limits the length of time that events can be
discarded because their values did not exceed exception
deviation.
ExcMin The base attribute that specifies exception minimum time, in
seconds. ExcMin is the minimum time difference from the last
sent event before the next event is eligible to be sent. Thus, the
send rate of events for the associated point can be at most one
event every ExcMin seconds.
Exception Deviation See ExcDev.
Exception Maximum See ExcMax.
Exception Minimum See ExcMin.
Exception Reporting The process, executed internally by Data Collection, of
sending events to the Snapshot subsystem on the FactoryTalk
Historian ME server only when there has been a significant
change in the monitored value. Significance is determined with
a simple deadband algorithm.
Exception Specification The three base attributes that control the exception reporting
process for a particular point: ExcDev, ExcMax, and ExcMin.
Although it is technically not included in the specification,
Span affects ExcDev.
