3-37 Datalogic Automation Inc.
• Scheduled Event: The task is queued when an Event Scheduler tool causes a scheduled event to occur.
Use a Branch or Basic tool to determine what action to take based on the Event ID.
• Shift Event FE and RE: The task is queued by both the rising and falling edges of a hardware trigger
on the Impact device’s Shift input.
• Shift Event FE: The task is queued by the falling edge of a hardware trigger on the Impact device’s
Shift input.
• Serial Input: The task is queued when a Carriage Return (ASCII CR) or Linefeed (ASCII LF) charac-
ter is detected on the Impact device’s serial port. The inputList may contain any character, including
NULL. The delimiter character indicating the end of the data string is defined in Settings Tab - Gen-
eral - Setup - Communication. (see “Serial Port” on page 2-10).
• TCP/IP Input Event: The task is queued when a message is detected on the Impact device’s TCP/IP
Input Event Port. The event port number and delimiter character (which indicates the end of the data
string) are configured in Settings Tab - General - Setup - Communication (see “TCP/IP” on page 2-9.
The inputList may contain any character, including NULL. The string or integer list property from the
TCP/IP Out tool is written to both these inputString and inputList properties
.
• Shift Event RE: The task is queued by the rising edge of a hardware trigger on the Impact device’s
Shift input.
• EtherNet/IP Explicit Event: The task is queued when an incoming EtherNet/IP command causes an
event to occur. Use a Branch or Basic tool to determine what action to take based on the Event ID.
• EtherNet/IP Implicit Assembly Event: The task is queued when an EtherNet/IP Implicit Assembly is
written by an EtherNet/IP client. Use the Ethernet/IP Read Implicit Assembly tool to read the data.
(See “EtherNet/IP Read Implicit Assembly” on page 3-193.)
