Is it possible to configure multiple feed schedules?

I know that the Touch has the option for feed 1-4, but I cannot find how to configure it in PLC.

If this currently possible, if so how?
If its not currently possible, is there a target date/firmware version that will introduce this?

thanks

Darren

Is this a feature that has been implemented in the 5.12 beta firmware?
If not is it likely for the 5.13 release?

not yet in 5.12, maybe we can add it, if not we will have it for sure in 5.13!

I have setup and tested a couple of feed configurations with Filter 1 and Filter 2. These work as expected.
When I attempted to configure a programable logic series with a delay, level sensor, timer and filter the result was for the socket to be allways on, rather than following the logic.
I have not spent much time on this as yet, but it appeared that once I put filter 2 into the logic, that it resulted in allways on.
Ill have a look again tomorrow and try to confirm if this is an issue with the firmware or with my chaining of the programable logic.

In terms of the firmware upgrade, it was not as smooth as the last one I did, but I have changed PC's, done a fresh install of PLC and moved from a 32 bit windows to 64 bit windows, so the issue may have been with the PC, new software or firmware etc.

What happened is at the end of the firmware upgrade, the controller was flashing "restoring settings" then seemed to do a couple of restarts.
Once it was operational again, I sent the backup settings and sensor data to the unit.
At this point the LAN did not work, I checked the settings and then power cycled the controller.
The LAN then started working.

This upgrade behaviour seemed a little odd, but it worked fine in the end, just with more restarts than I expected.

Thanks for getting the multiple feed pauses working, it saves me walking in and out of the house many times a day.

Great work.
