Notice
PLC counters cannot be used as ePS Network Services counters! It is not
possible to correct this configuration (counters). Instead, the configuration must
be deleted in its entirety and re-entered.
Since it is not possible to use the endless counter function of the PLC, when a
smaller new value is read, ePS Network Services calculates this as an offset to
the old value.

and general description of triggers):
• If a label has been set and a start date, which has not yet been reached, has
been configured in the master data, the trigger will not be initiated.
• If the date has been reached or is in the past, the trigger will be initiated
according to the conditions set for it.
