How to configure the execution modality of a task
Author: Staff. Date: 01/12/2025.
- Open the Automation Builder project and open "Application"
- Select the "Resources" folder.
- Open "Task configuration" window
- Click on the task name to open the "Task attributes" window
- Here you can set:
- Priority (0-31): (a number between 0 and 31; 0 is the highest priority, 31 is the lowest)
- Type of execution:
- cyclic: The task will be processed cyclic according to the time definition given in the field 'Interval' (see below).
- freewheeling: The task will be processed as soon as the program is started and at the end of one run will be automatically restarted in a continuous loop. There is no cycle time defined.
- triggered by event: The task will be started as soon as the variable, which is defined in the Event field gets a rising edge.
- triggered by external event: The task will be started as soon as the system event, which is defined in the Event field, occurs. It depends on the target, which events will be supported and offered in the selection list (Not to be mixed up with system events),
- Properties for event triggered tasks:
- Interval (for Type "cyclic" resp. "triggered by external event" if the event requires a time entry): the period of time, after which the task should be restarted. If you enter a number, then you can choose the desired unit in the selection box behind the edit field: milliseconds [ms] or microseconds [µs]. Inputs in [ms]-format will be shown in the TIME format (e.g. "t#200ms") as soon as the window gets repainted; but you also can directly enter the value in TIME format. Inputs in [ms] will always be displayed as a pure number (e.g. "300").
- Event (for Type "triggered by event" or "triggered by external event"): a global variable which will trigger the start of the task as soon as a rising edge is detected.
