Importing a Schedule or calendar

If the station is part of a multi-station NiagaraNetwork, you can import a schedule from a Supervisor station. The schedule in the local station functions as the slave schedule and the schedule in the Supervisor station as the master schedule. This procedure uses views of the Schedules extension under a NiagaraStation (device-level) component. It works the same for the schedules and calendars of the BACnet driver.
Prerequisites: You are connected to the local (remote) station. The Supervisor has a schedule to import.
  1. In the Nav tree, expand Config > Drivers. expand the network component (such as NiagaraNetwork or BacnetNetwork, of the station to receive the imported schedule.
  2. Expand the device that contains the source schedule (NiagaraStation or BacnetDevice).
    In the Nav tree, the device’s children include: Points, Histories, Alarms, and Schedules.
  3. Double-click Schedules.
    The Schedule Import Manager opens. This manager lists any existing schedules already imported from this device.
  4. Click Discover.
    The manager splits into two panes and starts a schedule discovery job. When complete, the Discovered pane (top) lists the schedules that are available for import.
  5. In the top pane, click to select one or more schedule(s), then click Add.
    An Add opens.
  6. After editing name and properties to suit, click OK.
    The job creates schedule components for the selected items. They reside under the device’s schedules extension.
 
NOTE: You can link in to station logic as you can with any other schedule, but you cannot configure imported schedules (add, delete, or change events and other properties).
