The following figure shows the override schedules for the schedule design
described in Assigning Override Daily Schedules.
Configuring the State Machine Functional Block
The State Machine functional block controls up to 16 digital outputs and a mode
output based on transitions between states. Each transition has an exit
condition that defines when the transition should be followed. States do not
generate outputs, they instead define a set of exit conditions to be monitored by
the State Machine functional block. When an exit condition from the current
state becomes true, the State Machine functional block changes to the next state
defined for the transition associated with the exit condition, and starts to
evaluate the exit conditions for the new state. The selected transition
determines the outputs from the State Machine functional block.
A state machine design consists of input and output names, a state machine
bubble diagram, state transition definitions, and exit condition definitions as
described in Creating a State Machine Design earlier in this chapter. You will
manually transfer this design to the Name I/O, Edit State Machine, and Edit
Conditions tabs as described in the following sections.
Configuring a Digital Output Schedule
As described in Types of Schedules earlier in this chapter, the digital outputs
from the State Machine functional block can be controlled directly by the
Event_Out output from the Event Scheduler functional block. This type of
schedule is called a digital output schedule, and is useful for schedules that are
strictly based on time of day.
To specify that you are using a digital output schedule, select the Settings tab,
and enable the Control Digital Outputs option as shown in the following figure:
