EnterStepSequenceEventType is an EventType subtype of BaseEventType, defined in OPC 10000-5. This event is to be triggered by the server when in the Entry state the decision is taken that under the current circumstances (superior state, recipe etc.) a step sequence is to be executed and the transition into the first Wait state is initiated. The structure is defined in Figure 34. It is formally defined in Table 120.

Event properties

• Steps: number of steps to expect. If the number of steps is not known, this should be -1. Even if this is a positive value, the client should not rely on it because circumstances occurring during execution of the step model may change the number of steps required, for example a call to the Sync method with a particular mode argument.
