Schedule Setup (weekly schedules) tab

This tab includes a set of properties that affect the way the schedule works, and provides information about current and projected schedule values. It defines a default output (output during non-event times), schedule effective times, special event cleanup operation, and schedule facets (display text for outputs).

To access this tab from the main menu, click Controller (System) Setup > Schedules, then double-click the a schedule row in the table, and click the Schedule Setup tab.

Property Value Description
Default Output read only When a schedule event (special or weekly) is not defined from another source, the schedule component’s output serves as the default value. Use the null output option when you do not want to specify either a true or false value by default.
Cleanup Expired Events true (default) or false
Deletes events.

true configures the system to delete one-time special events that will not occur again. When a special event is deleted, a message is sent to the schedule log, and that special event no longer appears on the Special Events tab.

Scan Limit day, hours, minutes
Defines how far into the future the system looks when calculating the Next Time or Next Value property. Make sure that this value is always positive and always greater than 24 hours.
Last Modified read-only
Indicates the last time that the schedule was modified.
Out Source read-only Indicates what is currently generating the out value. For example, the Out Source might be coming from the Default Output value if there is no event scheduled. Or it may be coming from the Input value, if the In property is set to a value other than null.
Out (general) read-only
Displays the current value of the proxy point including facets and status.

The value depends on the type of control point.

Facets define how the value displays, including the value’s number of decimal places, engineering units, or text descriptors for Boolean/enum states. You can edit point facets to poll for additional properties, such as the native statusFlags and/or priorityArray level.

Status reports the current health and validity of the value. Status is specified by a combination of status flags, such as fault, overridden, alarm, and so on. If no status flag is set, status is considered normal and reports {ok}.

In read-only
Reports the current input value.
Next Time Baja AbsTime format, for example: 03-Feb-05 5:00 PM
Reports the time of the next scheduled output change for the component. If the time is more than a year away, this value is null.

A typical application is for informational display. If needed, you can link slots into control logic. For example the TimeDifference and CurrentTime objects (kitControl, Timer) also provide AbsTime slots.

Next Value (defaults to {ok})
Reports the next scheduled output value. Values are false or {ok}.

This value is meaningless if Next Time is null.

Usage String Chooser Adds information regarding how to use the schedule. This property can help to identify the schedule and improve filtering options for choosing a schedule from a list.For example, when assigning a schedule to an access right, you might use the Filter window’s Usage property to show only access right schedules.
True Text String Chooser Defines the text to display when the current time is within the range defined by the schedule. For example, “Unlocked”
False Text String Chooser Defines the text to display when the current time is outside of the range defined by the schedule. For example, “Locked”
