L-INX User Manual 112 LOYTEC
Version 4.0 LOYTEC electronics GmbH
Enable Scheduler Objects: This checkbox enables local LONMARK compliant
scheduler objects on the device. Checking this box will automatically enable the
calendar as well.
Enable Remote AST Objects: This checkbox enables the functional object for NVs,
which are used to access remote AST objects. If this box is checked, the Clients
functional block is included in the static interface.
Enable AST v2: This checkbox enables the AST interface version 2 for local CEA-709
schedulers on the device. This interface is not compatible with older devices. The new
interface provides access to the value label descriptions in schedule presets for remote
schedulers.
Number of calendar patterns: Specifies the maximum number of different exception
schedules (day classes like holiday, maintenance day) supported by this calendar
object.
Total number of date entries: Specifies the maximum number of date definitions
which may be stored by the calendar. This is the sum of all date definitions from all
calendar entries. A date definition is for example a single date, a date range, or a week
and day pattern.
Number of local schedulers: This is the number of local scheduler objects which
should be available on the device. Each local scheduler data point created in the data
point manager will connect to one of these scheduler objects. There may be more
scheduler objects available on the device than are actually used at a certain time. It is a
good idea to have some spare scheduler objects ready, in case another scheduler is
needed.
Number of daily schedules: This is the maximum number of schedules supported by
each scheduler object. This number must at least be 7, since a scheduler always needs
to provide one schedule for each day of the week (default weekly schedule). For each
special day defined by the calendar or embedded exception day, an additional daily
schedule is required to support it.
Entries in Time/Value table: This is the total number of entries in each scheduler
defining a value template that should apply on a specific day starting at a specific time
(the time table).
Number of value templates: This is the maximum number of value templates
supported by each scheduler.
Data size per value template: This specifies the buffer size reserved to hold the data
for each value template. More data points or bigger data structures require a bigger
value buffer.
Max. number of data point maps: Specifies the maximum number of individual data
points that this scheduler is able to control.
AST Configuration Size: This number in Bytes is calculated from the scheduler
settings above and represents the total size of the LONMARK configuration properties
file stored on the device. While certain settings can be freely edited within the given
limits, the resulting configuration size is also limited.
