Global events are project-level events that are always active regardless of which screen is being displayed. On the contrary, screen events are only active when their associated screen is being displayed.

There are 4 available global event types:

• 1. When Project Starts : This event occurs when the project is first executed.
• 2. Timer : This event occurs periodically while the project is running.
• 3. Montor Device : This event occurs when data in a device's memory meets a specified condition.
• 4. Monitor by Expression : This event occurs when a variable or expression evaluates to a specified condition.
