Schedule Generator

Purpose

The Scheduler triggers events automatically at specified times. The settings for the schedule are stored in a custom match string, which can be specified manually or created using the Schedule Generator device.

When an event is triggered, the following occurs:

  1. The device wired to the start output wiring node on the Scheduler block is triggered.
  2. The state LED is lit for the length of time specified in the Duration setting.
  3. The state LED is unlit.
  4. The device wired to the stop output wiring node is triggered.

You can manually trigger devices by clicking the trigger button.

You can clear the triggered state by clicking the clear button. When this is done, the State LED will be unlit.

Note: Before using the Scheduler in an installation, it is important to check that the time and date are correctly specified on the node that will host the project. If the settings are inaccurate, tasks may not be performed at the expected times. For information on setting the time and date, refer to the hardware manual for the type of node you are using.
