Xenta 280/300/401 LonWorks device schedules are different from other EcoStruxure Building Operation schedules. The differences originate from legacy software considerations. Xenta 280/300/401 LonWorks device schedules are created in the TSCH block in Menta Editor and can be edited from the Xenta Schedule editor in WorkStation.

The main differences between Xenta Schedule Editor and EcoStruxure Building Operation Schedule Editor are summed up as follows:
There are no priority levels for Xenta schedules.
The number of scheduled events, weekly and exception, are set in the Menta Editor and determine the number of possible separate events for a specific Xenta 280/300/401 LonWorks device.
On all day in a weekly event is selected from a drop-down menu in Xenta Schedule Editor or can be entered as a time range. In the EcoStruxure Building Operation Schedule Editor, you select on/off from a drop-down menu (24:00 not being allowed).
Only one start-end time pair is possible for each event.
For exception events, only Date range is available. Date, Calculated, or Calendar events are not available.
On (or off) all day in an exception event is selected from a drop-down menu in Xenta Schedule Editor.
In Xenta 280/300/401 LonWorks devices, an exception event overrides any weekly events for the whole of that day, not only for the limited time defined by the exception event.
In Menta applications, the Xenta exception events can use specific days of the week, Monday to Sunday. As selected, the indicated days of the week determine valid days of events within the date range. Weekly events are defined by the days of the week; in this case the days of the week are displayed in the schedule editor, but cannot be changed.
If an event has a start time later than the end time, this is treated as one overnight event.
Note:
You can copy and paste a Xenta 280/300/401 LonWorks device schedule. However, any Xenta Central schedule reference will not be copied.
