BinarySchedule

Applicable to OS V1.4

The BinarySchedule component allows for setting scheduled events in weekly intervals.

The BinarySchedule component has the following slots:

  • Status: indicates the current status of the component;

  • Description: an additional detailed information about a schedule that may be freely described by the user;
  • Enabled: change of the slot's value enables or disables the component;

    • Available settings: true (enabled), false (disabled);

  • Time To Next Value: shows how much time is left until a next scheduled event;
  • Output Source: informs what is the source of the output value;
    • Available information: Overridden, Exceptional Day, Regular Week, Default;
  • Out: the current value of the schedule (sourced from the event or default);
  • Next Value: shows the value of a next scheduled event;

    • Available information: true, false;

  • Override: allows to overrule a current logic; any value entered in the slot is sent to the Out slot regardless of the component's status, output source, or any other setting (regular weekly events, exceptional days, etc.);

  • Default: allows to set a default value used in time when no event is specified;

    • Available settings: true, false.
