in the point list. These are the functional block index and name of the assigned
scheduler.
Deleting a scheduler data point will detach the data point from the respective scheduler
object and make this object available for other scheduler points which may still be
unassigned due to missing resources or which may be created in the future. The assignment
of other scheduler points to their scheduler objects is not changed.
10.10.12 Using the Scheduler
Once the above setup is done, the scheduler is basically operational. It will immediately
start to work based on the configuration data downloaded through the configuration
software. However, in almost all cases it will be required to add a control to the visible part
of the project, through which the schedules may be viewed and edited. For this purpose,
there is a specialized type of control available, the
Schedule Control.
To use it, create a
control of this type on the page and connect one or more scheduler data points to it. Please
see section 9.5.9 for more information about schedule control configuration and sections
7.2.1 and 7.2.3 for a guide on how to operate a schedule control on the device.
