In an office building, for example, you could use one global schedule to provide uniform control of the lighting and air conditioning to all the floors occupied by a particular tenant. A global schedule sets the scheduled occupancy mode for all devices assigned to it. In order to configure a global schedule you must complete the following tasks: 1. Create a new global schedule, name it, and set the occupancy mode for the seven days of the week, two special schedules and one holiday schedule. 2. Configure the control locations that will use this global schedule. 3. Set the Start and Stop dates for special occasions when the two special schedules or holiday schedule is used. 4. Download the schedule. Note: To configure a schedule, steps 1 and 2 can be interchanged, and step 3 is optional. Creating a Global Schedule A global schedule contains occupancy information pertaining to the various locations to which it is associated. Devices at these locations whose onoff times need to be controlled are taken from the global schedule. 1. Log on to the Excel 5000 TM OpenViewNet and click the Schedules tab. 2. Click New. 3. Type a name for the global schedule. 4. Create a time bar for each day that requires scheduling by clicking the start time and dragging it till the stop time. Example: If you want to create a time bar for Monday between 9:00 hours to 14:00 hours, point the mouse to 9:00 on Monday and left-click and drag the mouse till 14:00. You can define occupancy information for seven days of the week, two special occasions, and one holiday occasion. Alternatively, Click and drag the mouse on the day of the week you want to create a time bar. Enter the Start time and click Apply. Now, enter the Stop time and click Apply. The time bar is created as desired. Note: Each time bar can be of a minimum duration of ten minutes. 5. Right-click the time bar to set the mode. You have options to: Set as EnabledPeriod - During this time period points in the assigned control location are controlled to their specified enabled value. Set as Standby Period - During this time period points in the assigned control location are controlled to their specified standby value. Delete - Delete a time bar. 6. Click Save. The schedule is created and displayed in the left pane. To create a global schedule: Note: If you try to download a global schedule without assigning control locations to it, an error message is displayed. Note: The priority of schedules is listed below in descending order. Holiday Schedules Special_2 44

53 Special_1 Normal Example: Let us say, you have defined a schedule on Monday as Enabled between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Assume that the holiday schedule is configured as Stand by between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM. If Monday happens to be a holiday, then the holiday schedule overrides the normal schedule and hence the occupancy schedule is taken as standby between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Similarly, Special_2 schedule overrides Special_1, and Special_1 overrides Normal schedule. Note: You can create a maximum of 20 Global Schedules including both OVN and EBI. Modifying a Global Schedule You can modify a global schedule by changing its occupancy periods, and the control locations it is associated with. You can also define special occasion schedules to a global schedule. Changing Occupancy Periods 1. Log on to Excel 5000 TM OpenViewNet and click the Schedules tab. 2. Click the global schedule name whose occupancy periods you need to change. The schedule display for the selected global schedule is displayed. 3.

54 Location is a zone, area, or system being controlled by Global scheduling. It is defined as the smallest area that you want to schedule independently of other areas. Example: Cafeteria, 2nd Floor NorthWing, or Air Handler 1. Each location is related to some or all of the points assigned to one Time Program within one controller. Time programs are set such that control equipment on/off times coincide with the global schedule. Daily schedules (for example, weekdays, weekends, holidays) will be defined and assigned to weekly schedules. Excel 5000 TM Controllers allow you to control equipments based on time of day. Time Programs implement this control strategy. A controller can have a maximum of 20 Time Programs. Each Time Program specifies a Weekly Schedule. This schedule defines point commands for each day of the week. The Weekly Schedule applies for each week of the year unless overridden by the Point or Date Override functions. A global schedule can support up to ten control locations. A global schedule can have multiple control locations associated to it but a control location cannot be associated to more than one global schedule. A control location in turn is associated to only one Time Program. A Time Program in turn controls points. Points associated to one time program cannot be associated to another. Hence, in effect, points cannot be associated to more than one time program or to more than one control location. Note: You can assign each user point to only one Time Program. Time Programs cannot include analog input, digital input, or totalizer points. Creating a Control Location Complete the following procedure to create a new control location: 1. Click the Schedules link and select a global schedule. 2. Click the Location to Control tab. The existing control locations associated to the selected global schedule are displayed. 3.

104 Managing Control Locations L ocation is a zone, area, or system being controlled by Global scheduling. It should be defined as the smallest area that you want to schedule independently of other areas. Example: Cafeteria, 2nd Floor NorthWing, or Air Handler 1. Each location is related to some or all of the points assigned to one time program within one controller. Time programs are set such that control equipment on/off times coincide with the global schedule. Daily schedules (for example, weekdays, weekends, holidays) are defined and assigned to weekly schedules. Excel Controllers allow you to control equipments based on time of day. Time Programs implement this control strategy. A controller can have a maximum of 20 Time Programs. Each Time Program specifies a Weekly Schedule. This schedule defines point commands for each day of the week. The Weekly Schedule applies for each week of the year unless overridden by the Point or Date Override functions. Note: A global schedule can support up to ten control locations. A global schedule can have multiple control locations associated to it but a control location cannot be associated to more than one global schedule. A control location in turn is associated to only one time program. A time program in turn controls points. Points associated to one time program cannot be associated to another. So, in effect points cannot be associated to more than one time program or to more than one control location. Note: You can assign each user point to only one Time Program. Time programs cannot include analog input, digital input, or totalizer points. 2. Click a controller to display the controller display page. 3.
