timedFuncEvents()
The function timedFuncEvents() returns up to a given max_count all planned start_times (occurrences) when WinCC OA timedFunc would trigger a (start-)event. This function also handles the time periods (broadcast periods) (see Timed function extension) within the range defined by ’r;valid from’ and ’r;valid until’.

    - The Extension timedFuncConflicts()
      The timed function extension "timedFuncConflicts()" is designed to discover call conflicts between two or more timed functions. It compares the given parameters to analyze all conflicts and returns the result times.
    - trackZoomMode()
      Complies with the function "Rubber band zoom". After calling this function a cursor "cross" is displayed, which allows to create a window by left-clicking. The panel is scaled in accordance with the specified window size.

timedFuncEvents()

The function timedFuncEvents() returns up to a given max_count all planned start_times (occurrences) when WinCC OA timedFunc would trigger a (start-)event. This function also handles the time periods (broadcast periods) (see Timed function extension) within the range defined by ’r;valid from’ and ’r;valid until’.

Synopsis

timedFuncEvents(string dp, time start_check, unsigned max_count, dyn_time &occurrences);

Parameters


Parameter	Meaning
dp	Data point of type _TimedFunc that contains the schedule meaning when the timedFunc() would trigger a (start) event.
start_check	The time the check is started.
max_count	Maximum count of all planned start times.
occurrences	The start time occurrences.

Return value


Return value	Meaning
0	OK
-1	Error (lastError is set, see getLastError())

Errors

See above

EXAMPLE

Example with the following _TimedFunc DP "dp1":

Valid from: 20.9.07 17:16:36

Valid until: 1. 1.1970 1:00:00 (meaning no limit, zerohour)

Interval: 3600 (60 minutes)

Time: 70000, 77000 (times when the workFunc is called, specified as seconds since 00:00)

Mode 1: The mode 1 means Timing periods. See Timed function extension

Weekday: -2 ; -2 (meaning weekdays)

main()
{
  int rc;
  dyn_time dt;
  time tHelp;
  tHelp = makeTime(2007, 10, 10, 17 );
  rc = timedFuncEvents( "dp1", tHelp, 10, dt ); 
  /* timedFunc dp: "dp1", start_check: 10.10.07 17:00,maxCount: 
  10*/
  DebugN( rc, tHelp, dt);
}

The timedFuncEvents would return the following occurrences:
