Bacnet Schedule Export Manager

This component corresponds to schedules or calendars that are pushed to specific BACnet schedule or calendar objects in the remote device. Each exported schedule points to a component in the station. The Framework writes events in an exported schedule (or calendar) as a client-side operation to the identified BACnet schedule object in that BACnet device.

Discovered Pane

As in other manager views, when you click Discover this manager goes to Learn mode, splits into two panes, and executes a discover job. Discover also returns multiple schedule objects, each of which occupies one row in this view.

Column	Description
Object name	Displays the object’s unique name.
Object ID	Identifies each device and component by the type of entity (`Object Id`) combined with a unique `Instance Number`. For devices (controllers, instruments, meters, etc.), `Instance Number` must be unique within the BACnet internetwork. For components (points, schedules, analog inputs, files, groups, multi state inputs, etc.), it must be unique within the device.
Schedule type	Displays the schedule type.
Data type	Reports the ASN (Abstract Syntax Notation) data type for a device property. The driver automatically converts values to this appropriate type. For example, an analog input present value is an ASN REAL that can be interpreted by a string point as a character string. ENUMERATED is another example.
Description	Displays the additional information about object.

Database pane

Column	Description
Name	Indicates the name of the BACnet schedule.
Type	Indicates the type of the schedule.
Object Id	Identifies each device and component by the type of entity (`Object Id`) combined with a unique `Instance Number`. For devices (controllers, instruments, meters, etc.), `Instance Number` must be unique within the BACnet internetwork. For components (points, schedules, analog inputs, files, groups, multi state inputs, etc.), it must be unique within the device.
Supervisor Ord	Identifies the local station ORD for the schedule.
State	Indicates the condition of the BACnet schedule.
Data Type	Reports the ASN (Abstract Syntax Notation) data type for a device property. The driver automatically converts values to this appropriate type. For example, an analog input present value is an ASN REAL that can be interpreted by a string point as a character string. ENUMERATED is another example.
Enabled	Reports if the schedule is enabled for communication.
Priority For Writing	Reports the priority for saving a schedule.
Execution Time	Reports the frequency with which data are imported from a remote trend log (or trend log multiple) into a history (or histories). Data import occurs at intervals, daily or when requested.
Last Attempt	Displays when the driver attempted the last export.
Last Success	Displays when the export was successful.
Last Failure	Displays when the last export failed.
Fault Cause	Displays the reason why the last export failed.
Skip Writes	Adjusts which property types in a target BACnet schedule object the system writes to upon an export from a weekly schedule component.
Write Enum As	Defines how to write Enum data as Unsigned: ENUMERATED or as an INTEGER.
Out Of Service	Affects only the BACnet exposure and access to the source component. If the source (exported) component is a proxy point, the equivalent `Enabled` property in its ProxyExt is not affected. `true` writes the point’s current value to the `Present Value` property. Often, a remote BACnet client sets (or clears) this Out of Service state. You can set this property to `false` if needed.

Buttons

New creates a new device record in the database.
Edit opens the device’s database record for updating.
Discover runs a discover job to locate installed devices, which appear in the Discovered pane. This view has a standard appearance that is similar to all Device Manager views.
Cancel ends the current discovery job.
Add inserts into the database a record for the discovered and selected object.
Match associates a discovered device with a record that is already in the database.
Export exports the selected schedule object(s).
Change Type changes the schedule type.

Manager menu

These actions are available on the BacnetDeviceFolder Manager menu.

Menu item	Description
New	Creates a new device record in the database.
Edit	Opens the Edit window for updating the selected record.
Learn Mode	Controls the discovery of devices and adding them to the database.
Discover	Initiates a discovery job (same as clicking the Discover button).
Cancel	Stops the current job.
Add	Opens an Add window with properties to configure before adding the selected record(s) in the Discovery pane to the database.
Quick Add	Adds the selected record(s) in the Discovery pane to the database.
Match	Opens a window with properties to configure before matching the discovered record with a record in the database.
Quick Match	Matches the selected record with its sister record that is already in the database.
