View and Edit BACnet Schedules at Runtime

Runtime Client Tools > Schedules > Operate Scheduler at Runtime > View and Edit BACnet Schedules at Runtime

Scheduler is able to display BACnet schedules that have been configured on a BACnet device and imported into Citect SCADA. This means you can read and write to schedule and calendar objects on a BACnet device at runtime using the Scheduler interface.

Note: Runtime View is not supported for BACnet schedule objects. It is recommended that you use the Configuration View when displaying BACnet schedules in Scheduler.

Schedules that were configured on a BACnet device will demonstrate the following when displayed in Scheduler:

In the equipment tree, each schedule object associated with a BACnet device will appear as a branch.
When a schedule object is selected in the equipment tree, the schedule entries that display will reflect the schedule configured on the BACnet device.
Instead of specifying an equipment state change, BACnet schedule entries specify a value that can be interpreted by the BACnet device.

Exception schedules that were configured on a BACnet device will demonstrate the following when viewed in Scheduler:

Exception schedules will appear on the Configuration View on a highlighted special day.
Each exception schedule on the BACnet device is represented by a category in the Special Days View. The date or date range of the exception schedule will be shown as special days.
Each calendar object will be available as a single category in the Special Days View.
The Type field on the schedule entry properties will indicate if a schedule entry is a "weekly" or "exception" schedule.

Note:
• If the date range specified for an exception schedule or calendar object is excessively long, it can affect system performance. For this reason, only the first six months of a date range will display in Scheduler.
• If the date range specified for an exception schedule or calendar object has a start date that is beyond three years in the future, it will not display in Scheduler.

You can make the following changes to BACnet schedule entries:

Edit the Start Time and End Time within the boundaries of a day (from midnight to midnight).

A schedule entry will still end at midnight even if the specified End Time is later.

Edit the Value.
Delete a schedule entry.
