  Create a function block in TwinCAT 3 Structured Text that implements a basic event logging system using the TwinCAT 3 EventLogger. The function block should be able to log different types of events (information, warning, error) and include a timestamp for each event.<|endoftext|>

  END_METHOD
  
  // Implementation explanation:
  // This function block, FB_BasicEventLogger, provides a simple interface for logging events using the TwinCAT 3 EventLogger.
  // It allows logging of three types of events: information, warning, and error. Each event is associated with a unique ID,
  // a message, and a timestamp. The LogEvent method handles the actual logging process, utilizing the FB_TcEventLogger
  // function block from the Tc3_EventLogger library.
  
  // Suggestions for enhancement:
  // 1. Implement event filtering based on severity or custom categories.
  // 2. Add support for structured event data using the TwinCAT 3 EventLogger's extended capabilities.
  // 3. Integrate with TwinCAT 3 Scope for visual representation and analysis of logged events.<|endoftext|>
