Adding ScheduleImportTags

Although usage is expected to be infrequent, you can add a ScheduleImportTag onto an existing schedule component (BooleanSchedule, NumericSchedule, etc.) in the subordinate (JACE) station. Upon a Join, this creates a corresponding “slave” schedule in the Supervisor (and a Niagara ScheduleImportExt descriptor), as well as a Niagara ScheduleExportExt descriptor in this subordinate (JACE) station.

Adding ScheduleImportTags

  1. Drag the ScheduleImportTag from the exportTags palette onto the schedule component.

    The Name dialog appears. Either accept “ScheduleImportTag”, or enter another name and click OK. By default, the resulting Niagara slave schedule (and ScheduleImportExt) in the Supervisor use the parent name of the schedule component. By default, the ScheduleExportExt is named ScheduleNameExport.

  2. Double-click the ScheduleImportTag to access its property sheet.

  3. In the Supervisor Station property, click the control and select the Supervisor station.

    Note that Station Slot Path is read-only at “slot:schedules” (Schedules under the NiagaraStation).

  4. If needed, change the Execution Time property settings.

  5. Click Save after finishing all property changes.
