4.3  Sequence of Events Recording (SOE) 
The event recording function is supported for all analog module inputs. Inputs to be 
monitored are configured using the programming tool 'SILworX', see the online help and the 
Communication Manual (HI 801 101 E). 
During each cycle (2 ms), the I/O module reads the values measured for the analog inputs 
and records the events that are stored in the volatile I/O event buffer. 
An event is composed of: 
Event  Description 
Event ID  The event ID is assigned by the PADT. 
Timestamp  Date (e.g., 2009-11-21) 
Time (e.g., 9:31:57.531) 
Event state  LL, L, N, H or HH 
Event quality  Quality good/ 
Quality bad, see www.opcfoundation.org 
Table 21:  Event Description 
The processor module reads the events from the I/O event buffer cyclically and stores them 
in its nonvolatile memory. Events stored in the I/O event buffer can be overwritten with new 
events read by the processor module. 
If the I/O event buffer is full, the I/O module creates an overflow system event entry in the 
nonvolatile memory of the processor module. Thereafter, events are no longer recorded 
until existing events have been read and space is once again available in the memory 
buffer.
