11-2 Schedule Keeper Utility
The Schedule Keeper Utility
The LonPoint Schedule Keeper utility is used by system operators to perform
limited on-site modification to a supervisory application after it has been
downloaded into an SCH-10 device. This utility allows the operator to change
the times when scheduled events will be triggered and modify which days on the
special schedules will be used. It does not allow the operator to create new
schedules or new events. Schedules and events must be created using the
LonPoint Schedule Maker utility described in Chapter 10.
Schedule Keeper can be started in super user mode as described in the next
section. Super user mode allows you to create constraints on the end user
functionality of Schedule Keeper. This allows the schedule creator to limit the
changes that the end user can make to the schedule using Schedule Keeper.
Note: It is recommended that all changes to the SCH-10 functional blocks be
made with the Schedule Maker and Schedule Keeper applications, not with the
LonMaker Browser. If the LonMaker Browser must be used, reset the device
after making changes. If the SCH-10 device is not reset, the SCH-10 device may
not operate correctly.
Starting the Schedule Keeper Utility
Schedule Keeper is typically called from an HMI application such as an operator
interface created by Wonderware In Touch. To simplify this type of usage,
Schedule Keeper is started from the Windows command line using a launch file
created by the Schedule Maker.
When the Schedule Maker application downloads a schedule into an SCH-10
device, the launch file is created in the L
ON W ORKS SchApp\Launch folder. The
name for this file has the following format:
designName.networkName.systemName.subsystemName.deviceName.lau
There are two flags which may be set when opening Schedule Keeper. The /L
flag allows you to enter a specific Schedule Maker launch file as an argument.
The /S flag causes Schedule Keeper to open in super user mode. Super user
mode allows you to enter the Schedule Constraints and Parameter Constraints
dialogs described below. If you open Schedule Keeper without the /S flag, you
will only be able to access the Schedules, Daily Defaults, Overrides, and System
Parameters dialogs.
To start Schedule Keeper directly in non super user mode, double-click the
launch file associated with the schedule you want to view or edit.
To create a shortcut that allows you to open Schedule Keeper with one or more
arguments, follow these steps:
1. Right-click the launch file in the L ON W ORKS SchApp\Launch folder and
drag it to the desired location.
2. Release the mouse button and choose Create Shortcut(s) Here from the
shortcut menu.
