7.2.3.5 Event Editor
To modify existing events and add new events, a separate editor window is opened in front
of the scheduler. The following settings can be adjusted in this editor:
Name:
A custom name for this event. If supported by the underlying scheduler
unit, a name can be entered here. Note that even if this field is available, a length
limit for the name may apply.
Value:
The value which should be scheduled when this event is active.
Depending on the type of data points controlled by the scheduler unit, this field
may be a dropdown list of all the available value presets or a field to enter an
arbitrary number via the keypad. If supported by the scheduler, an additional edit
button will be displayed to the right of the value field, to open the value template
editor for modifying or adding/removing value templates.
Priority:
The priority of this event. Depending on the configuration of the
schedule control, this can be a numeric priority value as used by the native
implementation of schedules in this system, for example 0 to 15 for BACnet or 0
to 127 in case of CEA709 networks, or a dropdown list of discrete priority levels
(low/normal/high).
Start:
The time of day at which the given value should become active.
End:
The time of day at which the value should be taken back. The value of the
next lower event applicable at this time will apply next. If no other event applies,
it depends on the underlying network technology what the next output value will
be. To guarantee a well-defined behavior independent of network technology, a
default event should be defined, which applies to all days and schedules a desired
default value at the lowest priority (see note below).
Duration:
The time duration for which this event will be active. This is
calculated from the start and end times. If the duration is set via this field, the end
time of the event will be adjusted to match the desired total duration. If this
would move the end time past midnight, the desired duration is archived by
additionally shifting the start time forward.
Event Type:
The type of event defines how often it will be repeated. There are a
number of different event types to choose from, for example one-time events,
events that are active daily within a defined start and end date, events that are
scheduled on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis, events which are scheduled
whenever a certain global calendar event applies, or events which are defined by
special date patterns.
Event Details:
Depending on the event type selected, different input fields are
shown here to enter the specific information required to define when exactly the
event should apply.
In the bottom area of the event details are some push buttons to cancel the editor without
making any changes, to close and save the changes or add the new event, as well as to
delete the event currently open in the editor.
