Most of the time it means that you have a user defined FB that either blocks or crashes. The external event queue is a queue where events coming from outside of the resource are queued while an FB is executing. As soon as the FB has finished these events are transferred to the internal event queue. It is a special implementation of a kind of lock free algorithm. Which improved 4diac FORTE execution performance by about 40%. For most applications the value of 10 is sufficient. You can experiment with higher values. But normally this just leads to a delay of the error and mostly does not solve the root cause.

Mr. Zoitl, so early!
Can a E_CYCLE with interval 1s with monitor and watching enabled lead this problem?

Depends on the device you are running 4diac FORTE on. But I wouldn't expect that. Because with a 1s E_CYCLE it would mean that you have an FB that is blocking at least 10s. That sounds more like a bigger issue. Do you have any other external event FBs (e.g., Subscribe)?

4diac FORTE officially currently does not support web-socket. Therefore it would be interesting how you integrated web-sockets. Could it be that this is blocking your 4diac FORTE?
