106 Controlling a Street Lighting Network
• Weekends/Holidays. One exception group (a group of exceptions that use
the same schedule) is used to control the street lighting network on
weekends and holidays. The exception schedule simply turns on the
lights at sundown and turns them off at sundown.
Note: In this example, additional user-defined presets have been created for the
SNVT_switch data point on the luminaire. These presets include ON_60 and
ON_100, which set the SNVT_switch data point to 60.0 1 (60% brightness and
on) and 100.0 1 (100% brightness and on), respectively. These presets are used in
addition to the pre-defined OFF preset, which sets the SNVT_switch data point
to 0.0 0 (0% brightness and off). See
Selecting Data Points on page 88 for more
information about creating presets for data points that have been added to the
Event Scheduler.
Creating the Weekday Schedule
You can create a schedule that controls the street lighting network on weekdays
using one daily schedule and one exception schedule. This schedule uses the
default Daily Schedules and the following events, which occur Monday through
Friday:
• An ON_100 event that turns on the lights to 100% at the start of the
evening rush hour.
• An ON_60 event that dims the lights at the end of the evening rush hour.
• An ON_100 event that brightens the lights at the beginning of the
morning rush hour.
• An ON_60 event that dims the lights at the end of the morning rush
hour.
After you set up the daily schedule, you create a one-time exception that recurs
every weekday. In the weekday exception schedule, you create the following
single event:
• An OFF event starting at sunrise and ending at sundown that turns the
lights off. After the OFF event ends at sundown, the daily schedule
assumes control of the network and turns the lights on.
