Hi

How am i supposed to control this? i connected my new PowerBar 6d-d-pab, its connected with a pab cable, in port 15 (the one for aquabus)

DO i need to do anythign in order to control it? i cant seem to find anything in the setting menu, and when i open ProfiLuxControl, i dont seem to be able to find anything where i can control it, so what am i doing wrong?

check there.

don't forget to check the sqaured box ( side arrows) also I've seen here that the newest batches of the PAB powerbars need a recent FW on you profilux.

Hi

Tnx for your reply, had to update the profilux ex3, and it seems it can see the powerbar now.

I am a bit unsertain on where i have to program the powerbar, can i do that in the profilux software, if so, under what menu?

Processes, or programmable logic?

Ok got simple timer to work..

So if i want it to turn on socket 3, when ph is at 7.02 and turn off when its at 7.00 how do you do that?

[Matthias]

do the pH-settings accordingly, e.g. nominal value 7

then assign the function "pH control downwards" to the socket in question

[StarF]

Under what menu, should i do those things?

[Blahenazo]

your hysterisys is a bit small
0,02 difference smallest is 0,1

it would set it @ 0,2 in the ph probe menu
then nominal value to 7.1 and then the ph should stay between 7,0 and 7,2
, also set operation mode to "2 position controller "

then go to the system > socket part of plc
take a 'free' socket
and select the socket and press edit
set function to your ph probe and then set the other drop down to decrease
if desired set a blackout delay

and save and see if the socket would switch when your would it expect it to. If your convident its ok you can add your co2 or whatever to the socket.

Tnx for this walkthrough! just what i needed! what does the blackout option do ?

timeout after powerfailure (eg needed to let your system stabilize ) and not to take action to soon.
