If the equipment constant “ConfigEvents” is set to “0”, the Equipment sends S6F9 instead of the normal
S6F11 Event Report.
An Event Report will be sent if a Collection Event has occurred at the Equipment. The Host has enabled
Event Reporting for this CEID (refer to 4.2.36 “S2F37 – Enable/Disable Event Report”). The Host has set
the equipment constant “RpType” to “False” (normal report format desired). The Equipment sends one or
more Event Reports which the Host has previously linked to that CEID (refer to 4.2.34 “S2F35 – Link
Event Report”). Each report contains specific Variables which the Host has previously defined for that
Report (refer to 4.2.32 “S2F33 – Define Report”).
The Equipment generates a value for DATAID to uniquely identify this Conversation. If S6F9 is
multiblock, the Equipment first sends the S6F5/S6F6 Inquire/Grant transaction, and the DATAID in S6F9
will match DATAID in S6F5.
If the CEID is enabled, but no Reports are linked to this CEID, S6F9 has the following special format:
S6F9 [W] * H<-E
<L [4]
<B [1] 00> * PFCD (always zero)
<U4 DATAID> * DATAID
<U4 CEID> * Collection Event ID
<L>
> .
Equipment constant “WBitS6” controls whether the Equipment sends S6F9 with W-Bit “1” (Reply
Expected) or “0” (No Reply Expected).
