Event Control

The Event Control provides the user manual control of actual event outputs. This is useful when testing wiring and field devices.

Input Event for Program Run:

Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a new value. The range is –1 to 15. This event input will start the recipe defined in the “Program Number to Run”.

Input Event for Program Reset:

Clicking on this value will display an input box from which the user can select a new value. The range is 1 to 15. This event input will reset the recipe that is currently running if the Recipe Hold Output is configured and active.

Event 0 Through Event 15:

An event is an input or output variable. The input box for these events has two drop-down lists. The top list contains active and inactive, and the bottom list contains closed and open. The top list contains active and inactive, and the bottom list contains closed and open. When this setting is “active”, the controller will monitor for that event; when it is “inactive”, the controller will not monitor for that event. When this setting is set to Closed, that means the recipe will be held when the event is closed (on). When this setting is set to Open, that means the recipe will held when the event is open (off). This makes for the following combinations:

Active Closed: Event is monitored by controller; recipe is held when event is happening.
Active Open: Event is monitored by controller; recipe is held when event is not happening.
Inactive: The event is not monitored by controller (Closed and Open have no bearing on an Inactive setting).
