Forced Values
When you force a value, you override all input from the system. For example, if a schedule is set to enable a device at 09:00, but you want to enable it at 08:00, you can force the enablement at 08:00.
You can manually release a forced value at any time or you can automate the release, using a Timed Force utility object to specify the duration or end time of the force. Pour plus d'informations, voir Timed Force Objects .
When you release a forced value, the value returns to its normal status.
In WorkStation, you can view the unforced value, which is the real value from the system, at any time. Pour plus d'informations, voir Viewing an Unforced Value .
You can set a timeout on forced values so that the forced value is automatically unforced after a fixed time. The time can be a duration, for example two hours. The forced value can also be unforced at a specific calendar date and time.
