Creating a Schedule
Tracer SC leads you through the process of creating a schedule for your facility by navigating
through a series of steps and pages, often referred to as a "wizard." If you need help completing
the steps, click the help icon located on each page. You can create a schedule to control the
following points and applications based on time and date:
• Binary outputs and values
• Analog outputs and values
• Multistate outputs and values
• Equipment, spaces, and system applications (typically referred to as HVAC schedules).
Points and applications are referred to as members when they are assigned to a schedule.
Members can be assigned to only one schedule during the same effective period. Members must
be the correct type; that is, a binary point cannot be included in an analog schedule.
To create a schedule:
1. Click the create schedule button.
The Create Schedule – Schedule Information page appears.
2. Enter a name for the schedule, and select the schedule type and effective dates.
3. Click next to continue.
The Create Schedule – Select Members page appears.
4. From the selection tree, select members (spaces and areas) for the schedule, then click Add to
move to selected items.
5. Click next to continue.
The Create Schedule – ScheduleTimes page appears.
6. Select a schedule default. Each day is independent of the others and always begins with the
schedule default value.The schedule default value is applied to each day of the week and is the
value that the schedule defaults to at 12:00 a.m. for any given day. Select Release (see below),
Occupied, or Unoccupied.
7. Release A predetermined time in which the present schedule or the event releases control over
to the next event based on priority. A scheduled Release is very similar to a timed point override.
8. Add events to the schedule: click add event, which opens the event dialog box.
9. Enter a time for when the event will start and select a value.
10. Enter a time for when the event will stop (this is optional).
11. Select the days of the week to which the event will be applied.
12. Click Add.The event appears in the schedule viewer. (To edit or delete an event, click on the
event in the schedule viewer.)
13. Click next to continue.
The Create Schedule – Summary page appears
14. Review the schedule. Click finish to save the new scheduled as summarized.
Exceptions and Calendars
Exceptions are temporary modifications to a schedule. Exceptions contain one set of dates or one
repeating pattern of dates.
