the new programmable logic commands

[boboxx]

why would you need 2 sensor?
S1:= pump to drain
S2:= pump from fresh SW holer

timer1:= 12:00 AM - 12:05 AM

All I would want to do is dissable ATO, turn on S1 for the duration of timer1, tunr off S1. After the time has elapsed, turn on S2 until level sensor gets a reading that water has reached the sensor, turn off S2.

Enable ATO

make sence?

if you want to use the built-in water change program you need 2 sensors, see manual

of course there are other ways to achieve similar functions

Thanks. I'll change it from 20 to 15.

So did it ever work?

 

[Tony Romano]

Just starting with programmable logic.

Is it as simple as 1 is master of 2?

Elaborate so that I can help, are you talking ATO and AWC?

 

[Tony Romano]

Both - lets start with AWC.

Thanks

 

[kidney514]

OK first do you have 2 Level sensor?
and tell me what socket your pump are.

 

[kidney514]

You'll need 2 level sensor, 2 timer schedule, two pumps and 2 programmable logic instructions.

 

[Tony Romano]

yes
8 and 11

 

[kidney514]

Turorial AWC part 1.


First you have to configure 2 timer one to start you water change, let work with 8:00 PM for this purpose.
Timer 1 will configure as follow in the lower right event start, and create a start time of 8:00 pm
Timer 2 configure normal event. from 8:15 pm ti'll 11:59 and another from 12:00am ti'll 8:00pm.

After all of that is done set Level 1 to "ATO & water change" and Level 2 not enabled. Also select in Automatic water change "is started by timer" 1, and also in ATO in general "is only active with Timer 2".

Got that so far, now lets move to programmble logic.

 

[kidney514]

Part 2

Programmable logic
Programmable logic 1 will be the one that take care of the fresh water top off and programmable logic 2 will be the one that take care of the actual water change.
So programmable logic 1 will be as follow Level 1"and" Timer 2
and programmable logic 2 will be as follow Level 1 "and" Timer 2 [inverse] --> VERY IMPORTANT MUST SELECT INVERSE IN THE TIMER MENU.

yes
8 and 11

Need more info
Which socket number is the Fresh water Auto Top Off
Which socket discard the old water and which socket pump fresh salt water?

Will continue when I get these answers

 

[Tony Romano]

8 old
11 salt

What about RO/DI?

 

[kidney514]

Socket 8 = Level 2
Socket 11 = Programable Logic 2
RO/DI = Programable Logic 1


Voila, automatic water change will start @ 8:00pm, and manual water change can only be done between 8:00PM and 8:15PM.

I have already talked to Matthias about making this easier, with less programation. Will see if it makes to the next release. if it does we should a new socket definition called "AWC salt" or something similar.

 

[Tony Romano]

What is setting for timer 2?

 

[kidney514]

Timer 2 is used to enable or disable the RO/DI socket! The RO/DI water in used between 8:15pm ti'll 8:00PM

 

[Tony Romano]

Ok - I am following logic here, what is sensor setup?

Thanks very much for your time.

That would be great. I just took delivery of my 4-outlet dosing pump and I'll be looking at automating my water change as well.
