About schedule selector components

These componentsselect a pre-configured schedule for controlling a component.

For example, you can use a ScheduleSelector component to link a pre-configured schedule to a component that controls equipment, a door schedule, or setpoint temperature. With a set of pre-configured schedules and the ScheduleSelector component, you can set up or change the schedule of a device by choosing from a list of valid schedules. You do not have to configure schedule properties.

Each ScheduleSelector component contains a property to target a single location or container that holds all the schedule components to offer as options for the ScheduleSelector component. After you define the container location, the component populates the Schedule property option list with all valid schedule components. You can choose any of the options or leave the property set to the default null value. When you select a schedule, the ScheduleSelector component creates a link between the selected schedule and the component that is linked to the output of the ScheduleSelector.

There are four types of ScheduleSelector components available in the schedule palette, representing each of the four data types (Boolean, Enum, etc.).

ScheduleSelector provide links between schedules and control components that are of the same data type. For example, a BooleanScheduleSelector component only links a BooleanSchedule component to a control component of the Boolean data type. An EnumScheduleSelector links between an EnumSchedule component and a control component of the enum data type. The same relationship applies to numeric and string schedule selectors.

If you have schedules of different data types in the same container, the ScheduleSelector only displays valid schedule components in the Schedule property options list.

BooleanScheduleSelector component

Notice the following points about this configuration:

The BooleanScheduleSelector Container property links to the Schedules container (see Nav tree).
The three BooleanSchedule components in the container are available as options in the Schedule property option list.
On the Wire Sheet view, the BooleanScheduleSelector shows a knob link from the selected schedule to the schedule selector In.
The BooleanScheduleSelector Out links to three device inputs.

NumericScheduleSelector component

The following image shows an example of a NumericScheduleSelector:

Figure 12. Property Sheet and Wire Sheet Views of a NumericScheduleSelector Configuration

Notice the following points about this configuration:

The Container property is set to the station:|slot:/Logic/HousingUnit ORD. This is the container that holds the three numeric schedules.
The Schedule property option list contains three numeric schedules available for selection. The schedules are the same ones shown on the Wire Sheet view of the folder component labeled HousingUnit.
The link (visible in the Wire Sheet view) connects from the numeric schedule Out to the schedule selector In.
The linked value (67.0 in this example) passes from the NumericScheduleSelector component Out to the AirHandler device Setpoint input.
