S7-1500 Automation System
148 System Manual, 01/2013, A5E03461182-01
The following table provides an overview of the OB start events, including the possible
values for OB priority, possible OB numbers, default system reaction and number of OBs.
The table is sorted in ascending order by OB numbers.

* To these event sources, besides the permanently assigned OB numbers (see column: possible OB numbers), you can
also assign OB numbers from the range ≥ 123 via the TIA Portal.
