Scheduler View (scheduleEditView)
The scheduler view is a standard N4 Appliance view with an embedded Niagara schedule editor plugin component. Use of this component is described in the Schedule plugins/Scheduler section of the document Scheduling overview in Niagara Help.
Default Weekly Schedule
The default weekly schedule is DAY from 8:00AM to 5:00PM Monday through Friday, and default (NIGHT) for other days and times. Schedules are edited using the scheduler view.
Default Special Event Days
Default special event days are defined in the Siemens_Holiday_Calendar. On these days, the schedule will output its default value (NIGHT) for the entire 24-hour period. The output value during special event days may be edited using the scheduler view.
Other Configuration Properties
Property | Notes |
---|---|
Default Output | An editable value that defaults to NIGHT. |
Facets | Defines the range of values for the schedule. DO NOT CHANGE THIS FACET! These values are defined in PTEC devices. If changed at the station, schedules will not work properly. |
Cleanup Special Events | Leave at the default value of true unless there is a specific reason to change it. If set to false, one-time special events are kept in the station database after they have occurred, even though they will not occur again. |
Tagging and Auto-Linking to New PTEC/ATEC Devices
The default Siemens_Day_Night_Schedule is preconfigured with the sie:dayNightSchedule tag.
N4 Appliance device templates for PTEC and ATEC applications include an optional link to a station schedule. When using BacnetDeviceManager to install a PTEC or ATEC using a Siemens template, one of the dialogs allows the user to select an existing schedule for auto-linking to the device’s DAY.NGT point. The user may select a schedule from the list of compatible schedules or leave the DAY.NGT point unlinked by deselecting all schedules.
Notice in the Figure BacnetDeviceManager Schedule Linking Dialog (DAY.NGT), that there is only one entry in the list of available schedules, even though there are two predefined schedules in the N4 Appliance station. This is due to the fact that PTEC and ATEC templates specify that only schedules with the sie:dayNightSchedule tag should be shown in the selection dialog. Only schedules that are compatible with Apogee DAY.NGT points should be given the sie:dayNightSchedule tag.
