The item will not follow schedules or PGM output
assignments.
(01) Event Initiated (Follows PGM Output Only):
The item will follow the state of its assigned PGM
output. See Assigning Automation Items to PGM
Outputs in section 6.8.
Example : Item 1 controls a light. If item 1 is assigned
to a PGM programmed to follow alarm status, the
light will be on when the system is in alarm, and off
when the system is not in alarm.
(02) Follows Schedule Only: The item will follow
its assigned schedules. See section 6.6, Assigning
Automation Items to Schedules .
Example : Item 1 controls a light. If item 1 is assigned
to schedule 3, which activates at 19:00 and
deactivates at 22:00 every day, the light will turn on
at 7:00pm and off at 10:00pm every day.
(03) Follows Schedule or Event Initiation (PGM
Output): The item activates when its assigned
schedules are active. The item will also activate when
its assigned PGM output is active. If the schedules
and the output are active at the same time, the item
will also be active. See Assigning Automation Items
to Schedules and Assigning Automation Items to
PGM Outputs (sections 6.6 and 6.8).
Example : Item 1 controls a light. Item 1 is assigned
to schedule 3, which activates at 19:00 and
deactivates at 22:00 every day and a PGM output
programmed to follow alarm status.
The light will be on between 7:00pm and 10:00pm
every day. If the system goes into alarm any time,
the light will turn on.
