Configuring objects with the Production & Facility Scheduler

In this section, we will proceed, step by step, to create a first PFS project; throughout this procedure, we will perform the following operations:

Creating Equipment, Models and Schedules.

Creating absolute and relative times using links to variables and/or functions.

Creating and executing user events.

Using editing functions such as copying, moving and deleting.

Linking schedules and models within the calendar.

Checking over the created configuration using the switching point preview mode.

Creating schedules in relation to the Runtime environment.

You should be familiar with creating projects, variables, functions, templates and pictures. In this regard, only descriptions of the settings directly related to the PFS will be provided in the following section. If you need more information on these basic functionality, please refer to the appropriate chapter in the documentation.
