Replacement Considerations with CompactLogix and Compact GuardLogix Systems Chapter 3
Event Task Triggers
You can use event task triggers in 5380 systems to optimize local I/O 
performance and screw-to-screw times. An event task, if configured correctly, 
interrupts all other tasks for the minimum amount of time that is required to 
respond to the event. 
You can now configure event triggers on I/O data change of state with 
Compact 5000 I/O fast input modules. This option is not available with 5370 
controllers because the 1769 Compact I/O modules do not support event 
triggers on I/O data change of state. If the controller executes the immediate 
output instruction (IOT) at the end of the event task, the output data is 
transmitted immediately. The controller does not have to wait for processing at 
the next RPI.
The table shows an updated comparison of event triggers with 5380 and 5370 
controllers. Consult Logix 5000 Controllers Tasks, Programs, and Routines 
Programming Manual, publication 1756-PM005 for considerations that can 
affect the execution of an event task.

fast input modules, see the 5000 Series Digital I/O Modules in Logix 5000
