7.11.2 Control of Events

List of events

7 – 164
The parallel processes can make events available to one another. This saves
computing time otherwise spent in the constant interrogating of operating
states by the individual processes. A special feature of event control is the
waiting period, during which the process can "sleep" for a programmed time.
With this function you can repeat program sections in a slow time grid, for
example for display or monitoring functions.
In the OEM.SYS file, enter the command PLCEVENTS= to enter the complete
name of an ASCII file in which you define the events. The entries in the event
file are listed line by line with the following syntax:
<Job name> ; <condition> ; <event mask>; [comment]
Event
<Job name>
<Condition>
<Event mask>
Function
This name is identical with the label specified with
the spawn command. The TNC evaluates only the
first 16 characters.
Logical expression in accordance with the C
language convention, identical with the syntax used
in function FN20. See "Data Transfer PLC → NC
Program (Q Parameter)" on page 7 – 22
Operand: M/I/O/T/C/B/W/D with a number that is
permissible for this type
Condition:
== Equal to
!= or <> Not equal to
< Less than
> Greater than
<= Less than or equal to
>= Greater than or equal to
If you enter no condition, the TNC will check for = 0.
Hexadecimally coded mask of events that are
triggered if the condition is fulfilled. The constraints
defined in Module 9260 apply for bits 16 to 31.
