ActiveJob represents the job that is currently active on the machine.
JobInPreparation represents a job that is in preparation. Background: Some manufacturers use two "layers" for job information in their control systems: one active information layer and one for preparation. So, during a running job, inputs for the following job are possible. By pressing a button on the control panel, data from the prepared job information can be set active.
ActiveJobValues represents the status of the current job. See 18.4.
SendJobList sends a list of jobs available on the client to the server. Can be triggered by the machine by the event RequestJobList (see 18.3.2). For cyclic processes SendCyclicJobList and RequestCyclicJobListEventType are used.
