Actions definition

In the action configuration window you can define different actions you want to be executed. You can set the scheduler to change the values of data point elements, activate recipes, show a pop-up message, activate an alarm or start a self defined script when the created scheduler condition is fulfilled.

Figure 1. Actions configuration

Only predefined action combinations can be chosen. This is because some of the actions are mutually exclusive. If you choose e.g. the alarm text option no further options can be chosen, the Pop-up option can however be chosen together with each of the options. If you choose the Pop-up option all other options except the alarm text can be chosen.

If you have defined an on/off condition you can define an on/off action set as well.

Set list of DPE´s

On the top a data point element list can be created and will be set on the values you defined if the condition is fulfilled.

Figure 2. Example DPE list and ON/OFF actions

Choose a data point element.

Insert the chosen data point including user defined value into the table.

Allows to edit the selected line in the table. Is shown only when you edit a line which exists in the table.

Moves selected line one line up.

Moves selected line one line down.

When a data point should be set and a project does not run, the data point is not set. The data point is set first when the project is started.

Activate recipe

Allows to choose any existing recipe (created via the recipes add-on) from the combo box. If the schedule condition is fulfilled the recipe will be activated.

Figure 3. Recipe action

No recipe check will be done. You have to assure the validity of the action yourself.

Activate Pop-up

Shows a pop-up on the configured user interfaces. For details, see the chapter pop-up configuration.

Activate reminder alarm

If the scheduler condition is fulfilled an alarm of the alarm class scAlert will be sent. They can be deleted by acknowledging them in the alarm screen.

Edit the alarm text.

Start script

The selected user-defined script will be triggered from the directory <proj_path>/scripts if the schedule condition is fulfilled.

The scheduler does not have any influence on the script. It just triggers the start. The user has to take care of the reasonability of its creation.
