# General tab

### Origin of the step identifier

Selection options for the origin and generation of an event ID:

* Generated by ACRON

  The event identifier is composed of the identifier of the event definition and an automatically incremented counter (for each event definition) e.g. Event\_10005, Event\_10006, Event\_10007, Event\_10008, Event\_90006, Event\_90007 ........
* For manual assignment in Reporter

  Assignment of an identification number in the Reporter by way of "Change ID" by clicking the right mouse button on the event in the data area
* From process variable

  The event identification is the value of the selected process variable at the start time. Normally an automatic variable from the control system, containing a unique batch identifier for example, is applied for this option.

  Note

  The process variable selected here must contain a value at the start of the event. If the specified process variable has a value key, the corresponding entry of the value key is used as a display in the tree structure in the ACRON Reporter.

### Event trigger by value change

If the value of the process variable changes, the event is triggered. If the value of the process variable changes again, the previous event is closed and a new event is triggered.

#### Triggering variable

Display and/or selection of the variable of a process variable (e.g. pval or pmax) whose value is to be monitored.

### Start/end condition <a href="#start-endbedingung" id="start-endbedingung"></a>

#### Process variable

Display and/or selection of the variables of a process variable (e.g. pval or pmax), for triggering or terminating an event.

#### Operator

Selection options for a comparative operator:

| ---- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| =    | Equal to              | If the value of the process variable is equal to the manually entered value, the start or end condition for the event is triggered.                     |
| <>   | Not equal to          | If the value of the process variable differs from the manually entered value, the start or end condition for the event is triggered.                    |
| <    | Less than             | If the value of the process variable is less than the manually entered value, the start or end condition for the event is triggered.                    |
| >    | Greater than          | If the value of the process variable is greater than the manually entered value, the start or end condition for the event is triggered.                 |
| <=   | Less than/equal to    | If the value of the process variable is less than and/or equal to the manually entered value, the start or end condition for the event is triggered.    |
| >=   | Greater than/equal to | If the value of the process variable is greater than and/or equal to the manually entered value, the start or end condition for the event is triggered. |

#### Value

Value with which the variable value is to be compared.

### Minimum duration in seconds

Event-specific minimum duration. Events with durations shorter than the minimum duration given here do not appear in the event analysis.

### Output column headers in report

Output of the column headers in the report
