Want to put CO2 solenoid on timer and pH monitoring

[jackiechandc]

Hi everyone,
Just finishing my new tank build and figuring out the Profilux 3. I want to use my S5 outlet of my 6 bar digital power bar for my calcium reactor's solenoid.
Now for socket definitiation, I've defined it as for pH decrease.
How do I also get it to go on a timer (ie only run it say from 4pm to 8pm)? It only gives me one option (either/or but not both). Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi

You will need programmable logic for this, sorry no good at that but Boboxx is (sorry Chris )

Hi Michael,
So one needs to programme it manually I guess?

well depends on what you mean be manual, you have to use programmable logic commands to assign this function.

This is where you see profiLux leaping ahead from anything else as it can do pretty much anything you ask of it.

So can Boboxx do it for me?
Actually that would be a great update on the next firmware to give a socket 2 or more assignments.

To program this its actually pretty simple.

Step One - Create a Timer for the duration you want it to run.
Step Two - Create a Programmable Logic that is set up as "Ph decrease AND Timer X" (Where X is the number of the timer you created)
Step Three - Define your Socket (S5) as the Programmable Logic you just created.

Basically what this will do is ONLY turn that socket on when both the Timer, and the Ph decrease function are happening at the same time.

Wow, that seems really easy! Gonna have to try that when I get home. Thanks a million!

Awesome! It worked exactly as you described! Thanks a million! Really does allow you to programme the outlets however you like! :bounce3:
