AOT Schedule Controller is designed to bridge the gap between PLC and DDC. Although a PLC is more reliable and affordable, it lacks the scheduling functions that can be essential for certain applications, notably those in building automation. With flexible scheduling capability and a build-in real time clock, AOT can work alone or be used as supplement for cheap and reliable PLC to make up such control requirements in applications currently dominated by expensive DDC.
Designed to carry out its tasks according to a pre-configured schedule, AOT schedule controller activate or deactivate one or more output I/O points when the specified time is up. Thanks to its highly flexible yet easy to used configuration software, task schedules can be conveniently defined and downloaded to the controller for execution. Besides the routine daily and weekly tasks, more complex task schedules can also be defined and grouped, then assigned to special dates in calendar.
