Tabs
Displays four tabs:
Schedule Entries
,
Outputs
,
Exceptions
, and
Setup
.
Schedule Entries
: Displays a list of entries for the selected date.
Outputs
: Outputs are objects associated with the schedule. You can
drag-and-drop objects to any tab to add them to the schedule. Dropping
them on a tab other than the
Outputs
tab makes the
Outputs
tab active.
Selecting an object in this section sends data about the object to the
Operation
and
Extended Operation
tabs, where you can view additional
information about the object and make changes to it. Double-clicking an
output makes it the new primary selection.
Exceptions: Displays a list of exceptions for the selected date and allows
you to set the precedence of the exception, the exception period, and
detailed settings for day, month, year, and the recurrence pattern. For
calendar exceptions, you can choose a calendar object from a drop-
down list. Adding an exception makes the
Exceptions
tab active. You
can create an exception by right-clicking the schedule or by clicking the
New
button in the
Exceptions
tab.
Setup
: Displays common schedule information such as the Present
Value of an object, the type of object, the default value for the object, a
Release (NULL)
check box, and the data type of the schedule outputs
for this schedule. The
Release (NULL)
check box allows you to bypass
the established priority and return an object to its default value.
Within this tab, you can also select the command priority. The Present
Value of some object types is based on a command priority and
established in a hierarchy that ranks from highest (1 – Manual Life
Safety) to lowest (16 - Available). The hierarchy determines which
source has priority over another to change the value of an object. To
command one of these object types, you—or an application—must have
a command priority equal to or greater than the current command priority
of the object. Typically, PPCL is set to priority 16, and schedules are set
to priority 15.
The schedule range displays a predetermined range for an object type.
The first object dropped in the
Schedule Output
section for that type
determines the range that is displayed. For example, for an analog
output such as a room temperature set point, you might see a range of
69 – 75 degrees Fahrenheit
(20.56 – 23.89 degrees Celsius).
