Overview

The UniCon Job Scheduling System is a task scheduling framework designed specifically for industrial-grade edge gateways and high-concurrency communication, built on a deep integration and encapsulation of Quartz.NET. The system perfectly supports the C# 10+ asynchronous programming model and provides out-of-the-box infrastructure for scheduling periodic edge device data uploads, third-party API interactions, and background communication link maintenance.

Module Responsibilities and Goals

• Decoupling Physical Points & Jobs: Allows users to orchestrate jobs to automatically read or write physical channel data periodically at specific time intervals.
• Rich Built-in Job Library: Provides job templates for various scenarios such as HTTP requests, system self-healing cleanups, and southbound driver real-time read/write operations.
• Dynamic Lifecycle Control (CRUD): Supports dynamically adding, modifying, pausing, resuming, and deleting jobs at runtime, while providing precise counts of active running jobs.
• Zero-Friction IoC Integration: Offers a one-click dependency injection extension that automatically scans and registers all IJob implementations, achieving truly minimalist integration.

IoC Injection and Initialization

The system provides a highly elegant, one-click extension method AddUniConJobs() for IServiceCollection:

// Inject the scheduling system into the DI container, automatically scanning and loading all IJob tasks
builder.Services.AddUniConJobs();

var app = builder.Build();

// Start the job scheduler
var scheduler = app.Services.GetRequiredService<JobScheduler>();
await scheduler.StartAsync();
