Section 16.2.2 · Chapter 16: Schedule

Schedule Details Dialog Box

In the Schedule Details dialog box, you can specify the Start Time/Date, End Time/Date, Start Value, and End Value of a schedule. To open the Schedule Details dialog box of a schedule, click the Edit button of the schedule in the Schedule dialog box.

Note: The schedules for normal days will be in effect on a special day if the schedule of the special day is disabled.

To disable a special day, you need to disable it before that day. For example, if a special day is 9/13, you have to disable the special day before 00:00:00 of 9/13.

Example 1

  1. The time range starts at 09:00:00 on Monday and ends at 18:00:00 on Thursday.
  2. The operators are allowed to modify the time range by using the Schedule Setting Table at runtime.
  3. The Start Value and End Value are floating point numbers. When the schedule starts, the HMI outputs the Start Value read from the internal words $U120 and $U121 to the specified Write Address. When the schedule ends, the HMI outputs the End Value read from the internal words $U122 and $U123 to the specified Write Address.

Example 2

  1. The time range can be set by a device/PLC. The memory block starts at W100 of the PLC will be used for setting the time range.

  2. Before a valid time range is set at runtime, the default time range specified in the dialog box will be used. The default time range starts at 09:00:00 and ends at 17:00:00 on every weekday.

  3. The operators are allowed to modify the time range by using the Schedule Setting Table at runtime.

  4. The Start Value and End Value are 16-bit unsigned integers. When the schedule starts, the HMI outputs the Start Value read from the PLC word location W30 to the specified Write Address. When the schedule ends, the HMI outputs the End Value read from the PLC word location W31 to the specified Write Address.

Example 3

  1. The time range starts at 07:30:00 and ends at 20:30:00 on April 10.

  2. It is not allowed to modify the time range in the Schedule Setting Table at runtime.

  3. The Start Value and End Value are 16-bit unsigned integers. When the schedule starts, the HMI writes 100 to the specified Write Address. When the schedule ends, the HMI writes 60 to the specified Write Address.

Example 4

  1. The start time and end time of a week is set in the dialog. For example, the time range starts at 07:00:00 and ends at 07:30:00 on Every Sunday.

  2. It is not allowed to modify the time range in the Schedule Setting Table at runtime.
