Property Description

The data points that will be updated by the Event Scheduler are

defined by a list of elements in the parameter.
For each element, you must enter the name
(UCPTpointName) of the data point to be updated. In addition,

you should fill in the delay time (SCPTdelayTime) property for

each data point. This integer value represents the period of time,
in seconds, that must elapse before this data point is updated

based on a DayBased or DateBased schedule point. This allows
you to stagger the updating of your data points, which may be

advisable if an Event Scheduler scheduler is to update multiple

data points at the same time.

NOTE: If a SNVT_tod_event data point is used, it will only be

updated if its value (current_state of next_state) has changed. If a

heartbeat (UNVTminSendTime) is defined for the
SNVT_tod_event data point, the time_to_next_state will be

decreased with every heartbeat.

Each Event Scheduler can have up to seven day-based schedules.

These are schedules that operate based on the current day of the
week. This may be useful when setting up a schedule that requires

different update times for different days of the week, e.g.

weekends and weekdays.

The day-based schedules for your Event Scheduler are defined by

a list of elements. For a detailed description of how to

configure each element, see Creating a Day-Based
Schedule
on page 10-9.

Each Event Scheduler can have one date-based schedule. You will

reference the schedule exceptions created with the Event Calendar

application to create this date-based schedule.

The element defines the date-based schedule. For a

detailed description of how to configure the properties and

elements that define the element, see Creating a
Date-Based Schedule
on page 10-11.
