VDM Programming Check

[Steve-H]

Gents,
I still just haven't been able to get my VDM programmed properly...Below is a display of all of my config.
Additionally, it seems that whenever I make a change to the profiles or outlet config, the changes never take place unless I reboot the apex....Is this normal ?

Profiles:

AI-White
Type: Ramp
Time:45
Start:0
End:32

AI-Blue
Type: Ramp
Time:45
Start:0
End:35

Sunset
Type: Ramp
Time:30
Start:32
End:0

AI-Moon
Type: Ramp
Time:0
Start:0
End:2

Storm
Type: Weather
Light Intensity Max:35
Cloudy Light Intensity:18
Cloud Duration:45
Cloudy Time %:40
Probability of Lightning:65
Lightning Intensity: 50


Outlets:

AI-Blue
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet Weather = ON Then Storm
If Outlet Day = ON Then AI-Blue
If Outlet Sunset = ON Then Sunset
If Outlet Moon = ON Then AI-Moon

AI-White
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet Weather = ON Then Storm
If Outlet Day = ON Then AI-White
If Outlet Sunset = ON Then Sunset


Weather
Set OFF
If Time 17:00 to 18:00 Then ON
If DoW S-T-T-S Then OFF

Day
If Sun 000/000 Then ON

Sunset
If Sun 001/000 Then ON

Moon
If Moon 000/000 Then ON
If Outlet Day = ON Then OFF
If Outlet Sunset = ON Then OFF


Anything seem wacky ? Thanks !

It seems that my sunset setting is what's screwing it up. Would it work if I do something like "If outlet Day = ON, then OFF, If outlet Day = OFF, then ON" ?

Thanks,

In your program change:

Sunset
If Sun 001/000 Then ON

to Sunset
If Sun 000/000 Then OFF

What is happening is that Sunset is ON during the light period but I think you want it off during light period and off otherwise. This means the tank is in Sunset all during the day.

Yes sir...makes sense - thanks again !

The second item...I've noticed that the moons don't come on; even though this evening according to the table it should be. Everything seem OK there ?

What does the status screen say if the active profile for the blue outlet?
