Management Station Schedules

Scene Editor

Allows you to configure scenes for a scheduler. Using scenes, you can create multiple operating modes for a schedule. You can add and associate data points with the scenes and specify the values for the data points for different scene modes such that when the schedule is in that particular mode at the specified time, the data point will reflect that value.

Configure Selected Data Points

1	Data points list	Displays the list of selected data points for a particular scene
2	Add more data points	Allows you to add data points to the current scene. You can add the same data point more than once and associate a different property with each of the points. To specify a different property, click select property option next to the data point name and select required property value from the displayed options.
3	Select property	Allows you to select a different property of the data point. By default, when you add a data point to a scheduler, the Present Value property is set for the point.
4		Provides the following options: Data point details: Provides information on the data point. Show in hierarchies: Navigates to the location of the selected data point in the Tree view. Rename: Allows you to rename the data point Remove data point: Removes the data point from the scheduler. Removing a data point removes it from all the scenes of the scheduler.
5		Provides options to disable the data point for the scene and set advanced commands for the associated property.

1	Add	Allows you to add new scenes and data points to the scenes. You can add the same data point more than once and associate a different property with each of the points. To specify a different property, click  next to the data point and select Configure data point from the displayed options.
2		Provides options to save scheduler, save scheduler with a new name, discard changes, and delete the scheduler.
3	Name	Displays the name of the scene. You can also modify the name.
4	Value	Displays the value of the data point associated with the scene and allows you to change its value.
5		Provides the following options: Deactivate data point: Deactivate the data point for a particular scene. Configure data point: Displays the Configure data point dialog box that allows you to specify a new value for the point for the scene to which it is associated with, specify a different property for the data point, deactivate/activate the data point for the scene, specify advanced commands for the selected property, and remove the data point from all scenes. Advanced commands: Displays the advanced commands of the property associated with the data point or object and allows you to set the required command for the data point. Data point details: Provides information on the data point. Show in hierarchies: Navigates to the location of the selected data point in the Tree view.
6		Displays the following options: Delete : Deletes the selected scene. If the scene is already used in Schedule, it cannot be deleted. To delete such scene, first remove its reference from the Schedule. If you delete the default scene or any scene prior to it, you must reset the default scene in the Options dialog box as per requirement. Recurrence: Displays the Recurrence settings dialog box, that allows you to set the recurrence time.
7		Provides options to save scheduler, save scheduler with a new name and description, discard changes, and delete the scheduler.

Recurrence settings

The Recurrence settings dialog box allows you to set the recurrence time for particular scene.
NOTE: The schedule does not continue recurrence overnight.
For example, If a scheduled entry includes recurrence at midnight, the system recalibrates at 12:00 AM. After recalibration, the recurrence continues only if a switchpoint entry for that scene configured for the next day at 12:00 AM. Otherwise, the recurrence stops for that scene, or the default scene continues it's recurrence, if it is active.

Item	Name	Description
1	Recurrence	Sets the recurrence status Active or Inactive.
2	Interval	Allows you to select the scene recurrence time.
3	hh and mm	Allows you to set the recurrence time in hours and minutes using button.
4		Sets the configured scene recurrence time.

Configure Data Point

1	Scene [n]	Displays the property value of the data point for a particular scene, for example, Scene 1
2	Select property	Allows you to select a different property of the data point. By default, when you add a data point to a scheduler, the Present Value property is set for the point.
3		Provides the following options: Data point details: Provides information on the data point Show in hierarchies: Navigates to the location of the selected data point in the Tree view. Rename: Allows you to rename the data point Remove data point: Removes the data point from the scheduler. Removing a data point removes it from all the scenes of the scheduler.
4		Provides options to disable the data point for the scene and set advanced commands for the associated property.

Management Station Scheduler

You can create weekly scheduler for your management stations, and a management station can run multiple calendars or schedulers at the same time. Management station scheduler and calendars run only if the management station is running.

Management station scheduler make use of scenes that are objects which allow you to create multiple operating modes for a scheduler. You can add and associate data points with the scenes and specify the values for the data points for different scene modes such that when the scheduler is in that particular mode, the data point will reflect that value. For example, consider that you have created 3 scenes, Office Opening Time, Lunch Time, and Office Closing Time and you want to have different temperatures in each of the 3 scene modes. In this case, you can associate 3 analog output points to each of the scenes with values that should be present at each of the 3 scene modes.

Additionally, Management station scheduler can process both BACnet and non-BACnet object types (BACnet schedules process only BACnet object types).

You can also create exceptions to schedulers. When a management station exception is ON, it overrides the weekly scheduler.

When the exception is OFF, control returns to the weekly scheduler.

Subscribers Workspace

The Subscribers workspace allows you to add multiple remote calendars present in different devices and Management station calendars of partner systems to the current calendar. These remote calendars and Management station calendars of partner systems are termed as subscribers of the current calendar. This ensures that any changes made in the current calendar are applicable to all the subscribed remote calendars and Management station calendars of partner systems.

For example, assume that you have created a calendar, CAL1 with a list of all the common holidays and you want to have these common holidays in other calendars (CAL4 from device 1, CAL4 from device 2, CAL2 from System1 and CAL2 from System2) as well. In this case, you must add the CAL4 calendars as remote calendars and CAL2 from System1 and System2 in the Subscribers workspace and sync these calendars with the current calendar (CAL1).

For more information, see Add Subscribers to Management Station Calendar in Creating a Management Station Calendar.

Validation in Management Station Schedules and Calendars

When you set Management Station Schedules and Calendars target object with Validation profile = Enabled, Monitored or Supervised combined with the Four Eyes check box option then you are prompted to validate the actions performed to the target object.
Some examples of the performed actions are: Add, Modify, Delete, Save, Copy Paste.

When the object is modified or updated, all the changes are logged into the Audit Trail log of the validated object and the object version increments are recorded and stored under the right panel, in the History tab.
NOTE: Users with OIDC or software accounts are not allowed to validate Management Station Schedules and Calendar objects.

The following table displays applicable Management Station Schedules and Calendars target objects with their respective actions:

Validation Profile Target Objects	Action	Validation Output
Management station scheduler	Add new Management station scheduler entry Modify existing Management station scheduler entries Modify the parameters of the Management station scheduler entries under Option field. Delete Management station scheduler entry Save Management station scheduler entry Copy and paste the Management station scheduler entry Save the Management station scheduler changes	On saving the changes, Validation required dialog box with corresponding input field is displayed based on the Validation profile.
Management station calendar	Modify and Save the Management station calendar For example: Add calendar entry, update calendar entry, delete calendar entry. Delete Management station calendar Save as validated Management station calendar
Management Station Scene and data point	Add a new scene Modify an existing scene Delete an existing scene Add new data point Modify an existing data point Delete an existing data point
Management station scheduler exception	Add new Management station scheduler exception Modify Management station scheduler exception Delete Management station scheduler exception

Following table displays some more scenarios where multiple objects are validated and their corresponding validation output:

#	Scenarios for Management station scheduler		Validation Output
1	Management station scheduler is not validated	Commanded Output (Scene Object and/or data point) is not validated	Validation required dialog box is not displayed.
		Commanded Output (Scene Object and/or data point) is validated	On modification of Management station scheduler for Weekly Entries, Exception Entries, or parameters under the Options dialog box, Validation required dialog box with highest Validation profile is displayed.
2	Management station scheduler is validated	Commanded Output (Scene Object and/or data point) is not validated	On modification of Management station scheduler for Weekly Entries, Exception Entries, or parameters under the Options dialog box, Validation required dialog box with highest Validation profile is displayed.
		One of the commanded outputs (Scene Object and/or data point) is validated	On modification of Management station scheduler for Weekly Entries, Exception Entries, or parameters under the Options dialog box, Validation required dialog box with highest Validation profile is displayed.

#	Scenarios for Management station calendar	Validation Output
1	Management station calendar is not validated	Validation required dialog box is not displayed.
2	Management station calendar is validated	On modification of Management station calendar exception entries Validation required dialog box with the highest Validation profile is displayed.

NOTE: Similar validation configuration is also applied to subsystems like APOGEE P2, SICLIMAT, and so on.

In the case of migrated schedule objects if the validation profile is enabled then:
NOTE 1: The migrated schedule objects in the Flex Client have the same validation profile as the Install Client.
NOTE 2: If the migrated schedule objects are modified in Flex Client, such modification cannot be restored back to Install Client.
