Control Generating Event
The MicroLogix 1400 checks all elements in the Object Data file for changes at
the end of a scan and generates events where needed.
The key method to turn on and off event generating by ladder logic is to assign or
un-assign the Class information bits in the Object Config Files.
The example below shows how to control the event generation condition by
ladder logic and implements Deadband for Analog Input Objects (which is only
necessary for Series A MicroLogix 1400)
In this example, for 16-bit Analog Input point 0(N11:0), if the absolute value of
the difference between the present value of N11:0 and the value that was most
recently queued as an event for that point exceeds the deadband value, then an
event is generated for that point.
