Schedule Plus

We have a large project and using schedule plus as the front end.
I am looking at trying to make it easer for the user to change timer setting in PIR's (over 150 PIR's) and only that, i dont wont the user to be able to change any other of the parameters. What i would like to do is on schedule plus is to have buttons on the building latout that will take the user to the acutal device in toolkit, so the user can change and save the timer function only.
Is this possible ???

Not that i have used schedule puls yet, but i dont think it would be possible to adjust a parameter of the unit as this is a function of toolkit, however if my memory serves me correctly, schedule plus has a logic engine built in, so what you might be able to do is...

in toolkit have PIR#1 GAx, set to say 2 seconds.

then in the logic engine have a dedicated module group for PIR#1 which says something along the lines of 'if PIR#1 GAx = ON then turn light x ON... if PIR#1 GAx = OFF then delay(PIR #1 delay)... light x OFF.'

where 'PIR#1 delay' could be a system variable that can be changed in S+

The reason i say that you would have to have a dedicated module group for each PIR is that the DELAY function will halt the code wherever it is in the cycle, and if you have many of them in a module group then the time period will be very erratic.

The only drawback with this sort of arrangement is that if S+ is disconnected from c-bus then all your PIR delays are very short...

Timers in PIRS

Thanks for your input. I did think of that but the 150 PIR's is only one small part of the project. There is approx 800 PIR's over 12 networks in the overall project. Writing a module for each will be a lot of work, and if the main pc goes down then the PIR's wont work. Thats why i was looking for a small application or something within schedule plus to acutaly change the setting in the PIR's themselves.
Any help would be useful.

 

don't hold your breath...
