Chapter 5 Point Configuration

32

Rockwell Automation Publication HSELD-UM024A-EN-E–September 2013

EVENT='triggertagname' event_condition

where

triggertagname

is enclosed in single quotes and, if specified,

the

event_condition

immediately follows the

triggertagname

. If

the

event_condition

is not specified then it defaults to

Anychange

.

The update rate for event item groups is also related to the scan class,
so the server will be asked to update its cache once every scan period

for every event tag defined. This is probably faster or slower than
necessary. You must set the Loc4 attribute to make event tags work
well. The Location 5 attribute should have the value 1 for Event
tags.

Typical example:

Tag

ExDesc

Instrument Tag

Loc1 Loc2 Loc3 Loc4 Loc5

PM1_Temp.PV

EVENT='PM1_Trigger

ItemID1

1

0

0

2

1

PM1_Rate.PV

EVENT='PM1_Trigger

ItemID2

1

0

0

3

1

In this case, PM1_Trigger are tags that are updated by this interface,
by another interface, or by manual entry. When a PM1_Trigger gets
a new event in the PI snapshot, the interface will send data for both
PM1_Temp.PV and PM1_Rate.PV to the PI server.
