NOTE:
To make sure that the capacity for events in local CEA709 schedules is high enough, set the
maximum number of daily schedules in the network settings dialog to a high value when
using the extended UI mode. This number defines the maximum number of events which can
be stored in the CEA709 LonMark scheduler unit, since each event will consume one entry
in the table of daily schedules.
Also note that a default event is implemented as an exception schedule as well, and that it
will apply for all days. Since the weekly schedules have a fixed priority which is lower than
the lowest priority of any exception schedule, such a default event will immediately mask
out all data which might still be present in weekly schedules. If this is the case, the user will
see the available weekly schedule data at priority 255, but since they will not apply, there
will be no value names shown for these events until the user converts them to events using
exception schedules. Therefore, do not use a default event when you are still using weekly
schedules.
7.3 Setup Menu
All devices come with a built-in setup menu, which is used to set device specific
parameters, such as the devices IP address, control network settings, or date and time zone.
These settings are related to the installation of the device and are usually configured at
installation time.
Once the device is installed and a project is downloaded to the device, the built-in setup
menu may be hidden, so that it is no longer accessible to the users of the device.
Alternatively, access to the setup pages may be protected by a PIN code. Both options are
available in the
Project Settings
dialog, which can be accessed from the
File
menu in the
configuration software.
7.3.1 Common Pages
The standard setup menu always contains the following pages:
TCP/IP:
On this page, the IP address, network mask, gateway, and optionally
NTP server addresses for time synchronization can be configured. Alternatively,
the device can be instructed to get the required settings from a DHCP server in
the network (automatic IP configuration). Changes on this page will not be
effective until the device is restarted.
Date/Time:
This page is used to set date and time, as well as the current time
zone. Always adjust the time zone first and then set date and time to the local
time. There are various ways to synchronize the time with external time sources.
The current time source is defined by the loaded project and is displayed at the
bottom of the page. If an external time source is used, only the time zone needs to
be adjusted here.
Commands:
This page contains a dropdown list of the commands which can be
executed. Some commands are available on all devices, while others are specific
to a device family. Also on this page is a selector to change the effective unit
system. The following commands are defined:
