Scheduler

The controller contains an inbuilt exercise run scheduler,
capable of automatically starting and stopping the set or
inhibiting the set from starting. Up to 16 scheduled (in two
banks of 8) start/stop/inhibiting start sequences can be
configured to repeat on a 7-day or 28-day cycle.
Scheduled runs may be on load or off load depending
upon module configuration.

See
Figure 3-1
from DSE Configuration Suite Software
showing the configuration of the Exercise Scheduler.
In this example the set starts at 09:00 on Monday and
runs for 5 hours off load, then starts at 13:30 on Tuesday
and runs for 30 minutes on load. The set is inhibited from
automatically starting on Monday from 17:00 for 12 hours
and runs in Island mode at 8:00 on Wednesday and runs
for an hour.
STOP MODE
Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in
Stop Mode/Alarm Reset.
MANUAL MODE
Scheduled runs do not occur when the module is in
Manual Mode waiting for a start request.
AUTO MODE
Scheduled runs operate only if the module is in Au-
to Mode with no Shutdown or Electrical Trip alarm
active.
If the module is in Stop Mode/Alarm Reset or
Manual Mode run begins, the engine is not started.
However, if the module is moved into Auto Mode
during a scheduled run, the engine is called to
start.
Depending upon configuration by the system de-
signer, an external input can be used to inhibit a
scheduled run.
If the engine is running Off Load in Auto Mode and
a scheduled run configured to 'On Load' begins,
the set is placed On Load for the duration of the
Schedule.

fect the operation of the engine system, they serve to

In the event of an alarm the LCD jumps to the alarms
page and scroll through all active alarms.
