The
Scheduler Service enables events to be pre-programmed for any time and date in
the future and for each of these events to have an associated action or list of
actions. A configuration console is provided with the Scheduler Service to
allow local setting up of the schedules, with the option for some user
interface elements to be driven through the Java Client from within a Web
Browser. An example of its use could be to trigger data logging based on
schedules e.g. enable logging between 9:00am – 5:00pm.
Exceptions
are used with schedules to either inhibit or to enable a schedule - for example
a holiday period where certain actions need to be stopped, or common Special
Days e.g. maintenance schedules or shut downs, with outputs selectable as
active or inactive.
Comprehensive
calendar functions aid schedule planning and include annual/weekly schedules to
eliminate the need for re-entry of recurring events.
Schedules
are fully configurable using the built-in console with facility to update times
periods from Web browser.
