5.5.3 Event Command
Event Command blocks send MODBUS commands directly from the ladder logic
to one of the Master ports. The Event Command will be added to the high-priority
queue and will interrupt normal polling so that this special command can be sent
as soon as possible.
Note: Overuse of Event Commands may substantial slow or totally disrupt normal polling. Use
Event Commands sparingly. Event Commands are meant to be used as one-shot commands
triggered by special circumstances or uncommon events.
