Log event block
This block allows you to log an event in the event log when trigger model execution reaches this
block. You can also force the trigger model to abort with this block. When the trigger model executes
the block, the defined event is logged. If the abort option is selected, the trigger model is also aborted
immediately.
You can define the type of event (information, warning, abort model, or error). All events generated by
this block are logged in the event log. Warning and error events are also displayed in a popup on the
front-panel display.
Note that using this block too often in a trigger model could overflow the event log. It may also take
away from the time needed to process more critical trigger model blocks.
When you select the Log Event block, the following options are available.

Configuration list blocks
You can use configuration list blocks to recall settings that are stored in a configuration list. When the
trigger model reaches a configuration list block, the commands in the configuration list are executed.
The trigger model blocks that recall configuration lists are:
•
Configuration recall
•
Configuration next
•
Configuration previous
For detail on configuration lists, see
(on page 3-30).
You must define the configuration list before you define the trigger model configuration list blocks.
