TwinCAT Job Task (Worker Task)

A Job Task is a task that is executed on demand. It is called from an application and is NOT executed cyclically. A Job Task can be created directly under Tasks or in a Job Pool. If you create the Job Task directly under Tasks, tasks (jobs) can be passed to it directly from a client application.

However, if you create the Job Task under a Job Pool, the tasks are transferred to the Job Pool from the application. This then assigns the task to the next Job Task in its pool that is next available.
