Action Trigger

by · Published · Updated

In EasyBuilder Pro V6.02.01, Weintek added a brand new feature, [Action Trigger]. This feature allows users to pre-define a series of actions through graphical UI, eliminating the needs for combining multiple objects or writing macros.

[Action Trigger] triggers pre-defined Actions when the specified Conditions are met.

Condition After a pre-set idle time. / When the value of the designated address meets the specified condition.
Action Users can combine a variety of actions, such as Set Bit, Set Word, Execute Macro, Change Window, Screen Hardcopy, Wait Until, Data Transfer…etc.
As shown in the following screenshot, actions within the same Action Group are executed at the same time. When all the actions within the same group are completed, the actions in the next group are then executed.

 

The following scenario can be easily done using Action Trigger!

  1. Writing macro commands to manage data.
    • With Action Trigger, multiple addresses can be configured at a time, in addition to performing other actions.
    • Action Trigger provides graphical UI that clearly shows the order of action execution.
    • Action Trigger eliminates the need for building complex macros, making project maintenance an easier task.
  2. Realizing effects that used to require combination of many functions.
    • Action Trigger not only simplifies configuration but also avoids the uncertainty of customizing combinations.
    • For example, before, a user may need to configure: event notification → PLC control → macro execution for a job, but now the same can be done simply by using Action Trigger.
  3. Defining behavior after idle time.
    • Action Trigger can execute actions after idle time, for example, showing popup warning, parameter reset, data transfer, window change…etc.
