8 OPC UA EventTypes

8.1 CyclicEventType

This CyclicEventType is used to display information about the current production process. The CyclicEventType is triggered after a new value in the CycleCount is available. It purposely contains a consistent snapshot of the properties and components of the corresponding CurrentProcessValue which is connected with the event. For each cyclically CurrentProcessValue there is a corresponding CyclicProcessEvent needed.

This CyclicEventType is formally defined in Table 30.
