ATO/AWC is a premade form in Hydros programming.\
So is control of the RODI filter
What this means is you plug in the appropriate equipment and tell the program where you did it.
Where it says Input is where water level sensors are connected and output would mean a pump for AWC or a Hydros control valve for theRODI filter and the booster pump.
There are 3 logical outputs I made.
ATO GO
ATO GO is simple an output that is on if the RODI low level sensor is wet.
AWC GO is a similar output that says the NSW tank sensor is wet.
All systems Go is on when both AWC Go and ATO GO are on. This means that the AWC was able to make sure the tank is full before a water change and that enough NSW is there to complete it.
AWC needs 3 pumps I run from AC ports on a WIFI power strip. One for ATO fill, one for DRAIN and one to fill NSW back in a water change
The control valves for the RODI filter run from drive ports. The boost pump is on a controlled AC port.
Hydros turns on the boost pump and keeps track of the time and open the flush valve appropriately.
On the Status screen it looks like this. The dark tiles are off and the bright ones are on.
Inputs show the status of the water level sensors. Outputs indicate what the system is doing,
It shows the NSW tank is above the minimum level to complete a water change. The RODI tank level is between the sensors and when it gets to the RODI Low level the valve is turned on, booster activated, flush timing controlled and water is made until the high sensor is wet.
At the top of the last screenshot is says Normal with a blue highlight. Next to it is No Water Change and Feeding (I do not use this).
These are modes. Modes are where you can change what programs run in that state. This is done by creating a new Mode and then there is a drop down menu in a form, AWC for example and you simply check what modes that program runs in.
So I can turn off AWC by changing to the No Water Change mode.
AWC is triggered by a schedule if the system is in. normal mode.
Hydros has excellent documentation that explains all this online and there is a forum you can join and ask questions if needed.
Other things on the screen represent programming to
Shut off ozone is the skimmate bucket is full.
Dose Kalk and stir the kalk reactor on a schedule.
Temperature, System pH and kalk stirrer pH and ORP are shown under inputs. Heaters is another output shown.
You can display graphs of data from inputs.
