Controlled by Vertex Cerebra

[ppsthlm]

How much can the Vertex Cerebra control when it comes to other brands?

Can it control Vortech MP10 pumps or do they only need their own controller?
Can it control return pumps from Red Dragon?
Can it control the Radion G4 Pro LED lighting?

What are the different things that can be measured for with the Cerebra?
I´m thinking I don´t want to buy this computer only to read pH and control temperature... I realize you have float switches and all that as well but the best thing would be if it could control the whole aquarium so that when I log in when I travel I can see everything in one place...

Is it official when the new Cerebra Prima will be released? It should be out already, no?

The Cerebra can control anything with a 1-10V input signal. I think the VorTechs can only be controlled with the driver itself or Reeflink from EcoTech, so Cerebra isn't any different from any other controller. The same deal for the Radion G4, EcoTech does not allow it to be controlled by anything but their own equipment and software. Cerebra should control the Red Dragon just fine.

Cerebra is out now in Beta, but should start shipping again, at least in the USA at the end of this month. Not sure on availability in Sweden.

The Radions including the G4 and Vortech pumps can be controlled by the Apex using the WXM module and the Vortechs can also be controlled by the Profilux.

The cerebra should be able to control the Red Dragon RD3 pumps through 0-10v but it isn't certified by Royal Exclusiv & hasn't been tested nor is there a 0-10v cable for those pumps & the Cerebra at this point.

My understanding is the hardware is not changing. The only thing in beta is the software. Vertex has two separate lines of their own DC pumps in the pipeline that are coming soon. I am sure the vertex is able to control the the RD3 as it is a simple 0-10v control as rush battle indicated.
