10-34 Scheduler Interface
default value of 100ms.
Uses Heartbeat Specifies whether or not heartbeat checking will be
used for the selected input network variables. Each
of the input network variables named in the Name
I/O tab plus the Mode and Event input network
variables are included.
Daylight Savings Time Defines when Daylight Savings Time starts and
stops. See Configuring the Real Time Clock
Functional Block earlier in this chapter.
Control Digital Outputs Determines whether digital outputs are controlled by
the State Machine functional block (a state output
schedule) or by the Event Scheduler function block (a
digital output schedule). When checked, the digital
output schedule mode is enabled and the state
machine is bypassed for the digital outputs. See
Configuring a Digital Output Schedule earlier in this
chapter.
Output Heartbeat Specifies how often output heartbeats are sent by the
State Machine functional block’s output network
variables. See Heartbeats in Chapter 1 for more
information.
Mode_Out and Digital
Output Override Values Defines the values that will be sent on the output
network variables when the State Machine functional
block is put into override by the LonMaker tool. Only
the output network variables named in the Name I/O
tab will be listed in the Digital Output
Overrides
list. See Override in Chapter 1 for more
information.
Saving and Loading a Supervisory Application Design
File
Supervisory application designs must be saved in design files. A supervisory
application design file (.DSG extension) includes all the information required to
define a schedule and state machine design, and includes information such as
input/output names that is not downloaded to the SCH-10 module or stored in
the LNS database. You can create and save many design files so that you can
use the LonPoint Schedule Maker simulator to simulate design alternatives.
Once you have validated a schedule design using the simulator, you can
download the design to an SCH-10 module as described in Downloading a
Supervisory Application Design. There may be only one open design at a time.
