The features on this page require an add-on to work with GENESIS64 Basic SCADA. |
The Schedule Control allows users to insert a schedule into a GraphWorX64 2D display.
Selecting the Schedule Control from the Controls Ribbon in GraphWorX64
After you have created a new display in GraphWorX64, you can insert a Schedule Control by selecting it from the Controls ribbon (as shown above) or from the Viewer Menu of the Toolbox.
Your cursor will turn into a '+', which allows you to set both the size of the control and its position within the display's canvas. The Schedule Control will then automatically size to the area you have created, as shown below.

For info on how to set Schedule Control Pick properties from the right-side Properties section of the GraphWorX64 window, click HERE.
Note that the Schedule Control Configuration ribbon simultaneously appears at the top of the screen, as shown below.
Schedule Control Configuration Ribbon
The ribbon's buttons are used only in a Schedule Control that has been added to the GraphWorX64 display. Each button on the ribbon, as well as the configurator that the ribbon opens, is described below.
The Configure button within the Configuration section of the Schedule Control Configuration ribbon opens the 'Configure your Control' dialog box, where you can add schedule views. (The Save button allows you to save an in-progress configuration and the Load button allows you to retrieve saved configurations.)
In the configurator, you can add tabs to the control, and schedule views to each tab. This configuration dialog in the GraphWorX64 display configuration has the following components:
For the Control:
The Appearance tab lets you configure the control's overall appearance.
The Advanced tab gives you access to the control's properties. Helpful tool tips that appear on the tab describe selected properties.
Configure your Control Dialog Box - Appearance Tab
You can right-click on the 'Schedule View Control' item in the 'Configure your Control' dialog to add new Tabs - or you can select the 'Schedule View Control' and click on the 'Add' button in the bottom left.
For each Tab:
The Appearance tab lets you configure the tab's appearance.
The Advanced tab gives you access to the tab's properties. Helpful tool tips that appear on the tab describe selected properties.
Configuring Your Tab Settings
You can right-click on a Tab in the left-side navigation pane in the 'Configure your Control' dialog to add:
a new ScheduleWorX View, or
a new BACnet Schedule View, or
a new BACnet Calendar View, or
a new BACnet Calendar View with SC, or
a new N1 Schedule View.
There are two separate schedule and calendar controls for BACnet: “Classic” vs. "with SC".
The SC controls use the new BACnet SC Point Manager tag syntax to connect. You can browse for this tag to connect to the schedule or calendar. The other features will generally work just like in the classic controls.
You must use the control that corresponds with the point manager that it is connecting to. So if you are connecting the display to BACnet classic, then use the classic schedule or calendar control, and vice versa.
Old displays will need to be manually updated to replace the classic control with the SC controls if you are moving the project to use the new Point Manager.
The image below shows a new ScheduleWorX View.

The BACnet with SC Schedule view supports using an asset tag as the data source.
The data source for the SC Schedule view could be a static BACnet tag, such as:
Data Source: bac:Default Channel\DEV 1\SCHED 0
Alternatively you could use an asset tag, which will resolve to the proper underlying BACnet tag. In each of the following cases you must set "ExcludePathQuotes" = True, under the Advanced settings for the schedule control.
Data Source: asset property (ex. ac:sched0.RealtimePointName) -> BACnet tag (ex. bac:Default Channel\DEV 1\SCHED 0)
Data Source: GAS (ex. <#myalias#>) -> asset property (ex. ac:sched0.RealtimePointName) -> BACnet tag (ex. bac:Default Channel\DEV 1\SCHED 0)
Data Source: GAS (ex. <#myalias#>) -> BACnet tag (ex. bac:Default Channel\DEV 1\SCHED 0)
