Define Holidays:Holiday handles exceptions to the 7 day weekly schedule. The "Holiday" is any unusual event or series of events. The Holiday setting can be defined, redefined and assigned at any time.
Define Time:Time has Workday and Holiday settings. Users can set the Working Start Time and Work hours for a Workday and Holiday schedule. Users can also define Time groups for different shifts.
Worker Maintenance:Assign worker information, like name, e-mail and phone number. Users can maintain the information.
Setup Worker Group:One or multiple workers, a single Time group and a Holiday group are assigned to each Worker Group. Worker Groups are groups of Workers that frequently share the same Time and Holiday Schedule to send an alarm to.
Alarm Group:Alarm Groups will build "Tags" that will always share the same Schedule to send the alarm.
Add Relationship:Connects the Worker Group and Alarm Group to share the same schedule with alarm tags to workers.
Download:Download the setting to the SCADA node. You can download the setting without stopping the SCADA node. The new setting will take effect immediately. If a tag is supposed to be ON, it will be set to the ON value.
