Creating and configuring time schedules

To create the Time schedule object, do the following:

Open the Programming tab.
Create the Time schedule object on the basis of the Time schedules object in the objects tree.
Enter the number and the name of the time schedule in the corresponding fields of the identification panel of the Time schedule object.
Note
The object number must be in the range from 1 to 65534.
Click the Apply button.

As a result, the Time schedule object appears in the objects tree.

To configure the Time schedule object, specify the values of the following parameters:

No	Parameter name		Method for entering the parameter	Parameter description	Presentation	Default value		Value range

* The Holidays checkbox adds the list of days to the schedule that is specified in the settings of the Security zone object of the Programming tab.

If you set the moment of time interval start later than the moment of its end, the time schedule covers the current day (from the time interval start) and part of the following day (to the time interval end) with the condition that you set the time schedule for the current and following day. If you set the time schedule only for the current day, the time schedule ends at 0:00:00.

Note

You can use a time schedule combination to correct the main time schedule on special days, for example, days before holidays. To do this, you must specify the date of a special day and the time interval that must be added to the interval of the main schedule on the settings panel of the additional time schedule.

Attention!

If the time schedule parameters switch to the disabled state, the changes will come into effect after you restart Axxon PSIM.

Example: Now it is 16:00. The time schedule end time (the to column) was set to 20:00. Then it is changed to 16:00. In this case, to make the changes come into effect, you must restart Axxon PSIM. Before restarting, the time schedule is until 20:00.

Attention!

You cannot set the duration of the time schedule usage in days on its settings panel. Thus, disable the time schedule combination right after its application.

To configure the additional time interval, do the following:

To create the list of holidays, do the following:

Open the Programming tab (1).
Select the Security zone object (2).
Click the Add button (3).
Select the holiday date in the Select date window.
Click the Apply button.

Creating and configuring time schedules is complete.
