EAE Event counter details

[anandbpillai]

For the EAE Events generated for any Function Block, what is the maximum capacity of this event counter.

And what happens when it reaches its max. capacity.

Also what kind of data type int, long, double etc.

This value is only an indication (very useful when you debug).
You can even reset it with a right-click.

So it will restart counting arriving at the "max" (whatever this max is)

Thanks for the update.

But if don't reset manually does it automatically reset, if yes than after which value.

Also we have seen that we need to use Event Blocker in some application after FB's to help restrict continuous event generation in the EAE application.

Is it right way or best practice in EAE application configuration.

I don't know what's the maximum value and as it's an informative number of event count, you can't get this number in the application. Yes, it reset automatically, you don't need to take care of this.

If you want to count the number of events in your application, you need to handle a "Data Pin" with your own logic.

Event Blocker is useful to debug your application, but not in production!

If you need Event Blocker in prod, I would say that It most probably means that you have a design issue!
