Issue
How to know if schedules did not download.
Environment
CyberStation
Schedules
Cause
Is it possible to alarm if schedules do not download.
Resolution
The following idea assumes you use the standard Sunday 12AM download time.
In each controller with a schedule create a schedule called MonitorDownload.sch and attached a numeric to it. Toggle that numeric, only on Sundays, to ON at 12:45am and OFF at 1:15am.
Write a fallthru program that triggers on hour and execute a check of that numeric only on Sunday at 1am. If it is not ON then trip an alarm - figuring that none of the schedule updates made it to that controller.
If you also use the SendEmail capability of the controller this could also act as a check that the workstation (on a standalone) is not communicating (off, network issue, crash, etc) to the controller.
