How Schedules Work in Building Operation
Schedules are used to schedule the operation of parts of the BMS, such as a device or a setpoint. For example, a you can set up a schedule to make a device to operate between 08:00 and 17:00 every workday.
Schedules can be overridden by different types of exceptions. For example, if you want to shut down a device the last Friday in every month due to maintenance, you can use a calculated exception. The exception is added to the schedule and turns off the device the last Friday in every month.
If you want to shut down the device during the summer vacation, you can use a Calendar exception. In this case, you use an already created calendar that defines the summer vacation. This calendar is added to the schedule as an exception and the device will be shut down during all days of the summer vacation defined by the calendar.

Schedule Events
A schedule has two types of events: weekly events and exception events. Weekly events occur every week at specified times. Exception events occur when the schedule deviates from the weekly schedule, such as during holidays. Exception events override the weekly events when there is an overlap.
For more information, see Schedule Events .
Calendars in WorkStation
A calendar is a list of dates. The calendar provides the schedule with the dates when the exception events shall occur. To save time, you can reference a single calendar rather than entering several exception events in a schedule.

Schedules Types
You can create three types of schedules: Digital, Multistate, or Analog. You create a digital schedule if the schedule needs to control a device with two output states, such as On or Off. You create a multistate schedule if the schedule needs to control a device that has output states based on multiple states, such as low, medium, or high. You create an analog schedule if the schedule controls a device that gauges the output in real numbers.
For more information, see Schedule Types .
Xenta Schedules in WebStation
Xenta Time Schedules and Xenta Central Time Schedules can be edited in WebStation. You can add, edit and delete weekly and exception events. You can assign and unassign lead Xenta central schedules. The Xenta Time Schedules and Xenta Central Time Schedules must be created using WorkStation.
For more information, see Xenta Schedules in WebStation .
Multi Schedule Viewer in WebStation
You can create a Multi schedule viewer in WebStation to edit and view a number of schedules at the same time.
