AC3 feed mode command

[DrHarryLopez]

How do I setup the feed mode on my controller
I two stream pumps ST1 & ST2 on a DC8 controller, but I don't know the command.

Pls provide

Thank you in advance
Harry

ps Is there a cheat sheet (website) of commands I can look at?

AC3 feed mode looks like this:

If FeedA 000 Then AAA OFF

Where FeedA can be FeedA, FeedB, FeedC or FeedD, 000 is time (in seconds) that hold the device on/off after feed cycle completed and OFF can be ON or OFF. AAA is the timer you want to control.

I have examples on my website; see my AC3 program page.

I looked at your prgm wow!

If FeedA 005 Then ST1 OFF
ST1 are my stream pumps, do I have the command correct for 5 mins off for feedA?

The command will not work as you asked for. The value in the Feed command is time in addition to the feed interval (feed interval is configured using the buttons on the AC3). If, for example your feedA interval is 5 minutes then the above will have ST1 off for (FeedInterval + 005) or a total of 10 minutes.

hmmm, I hit the feedA, the pumps stopped, the counter stated counting down 300 secs

Yes, I think default for FeedA is 5 minutes but then once feed completes the pumps will remain off for an additional 5 minutes. You can have 000 as the feed value and the pumps will still turn off for the duration of the feed cycle.
