[Matthias]

Wished many times - soon available:

Two new expansion cards to increase the amount of level inputs:

PLM-4Level: 2 ports with 4 level inputs in sum

PLM-pH/Redox-2Level: one port with 2 level inputs + universal input pH or Redox (adjustable)

Shipping starts in approx. 6 - 8 weeks

Good job team ;-)

Any updates on this new Expansion Card? I'm seeing more and more people needing this because of the new GHL Level Control devices being used.

[Matthias]

the cards are ready and produced - we "only" have to finish the firmware

will be the next thing after the Mitras

Any updates on expansion cards?

[aqua_digital]

Not released as yet. I have them on order but are currently not available

[doggydoc10]

And do you have a release date? Since this was promised a while back?

[doggydoc10]

I mean how much longer does it take to "finish" the process?

[aqua_digital]

Nope

[aqua_digital]

asap is the only answer for now, but as soons as we have them in stock I will let all dealers know so they can contact their clients directly.

[aqua_digital]

I have been informed by GHL today that the card is available and we will have a quantity on our February order that should be with us near the closing of February.

Please wait for pricing announcement this week coming.

[doggydoc10]

Awesome
Thank you

[Matthias]

you should ask your retailer - he should know that he has to order it ...

[smithpl]

So, where can I finde some manual or info doc about plm-4level?
I see there are 4 linear input channels.
Could you put manual into download section?

I would like to understand how it works.
Is it 1/0 state input or linear input 1-10v ??

Please tell me Mathias how it works?

I would like use this to know what is fluid level inside canister - for example CaCl2 for balling? What type of sensor should i use with this card?


Thanks

Once we were made aware they were available we ordered them for the NA market, they will be on the next shipment in around 14 days

[smithpl]

Matthias or aqua_digital some extra informations about it?
I can't order it without more information about how it works.

I'm not exactly sure what you're looking for but I'll try to help

Here's a picture of them (both in one picture)
http://www.sewatec.de/images/thumbnail/produkte/xlarge/GHL/Level-Karten_500x352.jpg


PL-0871
PLM-4Level:
1 adjustable galvanically insulated input for pH-value probe or redox probe
2 inputs for level- or flow-sensors

PL-0872
PLM-4Level:
2 ports with 4 level inputs in sum (able to add 4 additional level or Flow inputs from a single card)


These should be available just about any time now from your local GHL dealer. I would think that if you plan to fully utilize the available level/flow ports you'll need the appropriate splitter for that per port: PL-LY (PL-0081)

[smithpl]

Thanks BigAll,
now is clear.

I thought this is module with the input of a linear measurement but it's only input module with 0/1 state.

thanks a lot :-)

You're very welcome. I get lucky once in a while and stumble across a correct answer :)

[doggydoc10]

Question for GHL brass. I purchased my level sensor car but I was told I cannot use it on my expansion box. Is that correct?

[JasonK]

While I'm not brass (I would consider myself more Platinum standard :) ) There is reference from one of the GHL brass here which states the expansion box will need a firmware update which is still in development for the new level cards to work : http://forum.aquariumcomputer.com/showthread.php?6628-I-can-not-connect-more-than-two-flow-sensors

[CaptCrash]

Hi Matthias (and others at GHL),

Is there a target date for the expansion box firmware to support the new cards?
I have a few changes I would like to implement that require more level sensors and I would like to be able to order the parts, once they are usable.
Im about to be away for a few weeks, and It would be good to be able to order the bits and have them ready for when I get back (assuming the firmware is soon).

thanks in advance.

[Matthias]

support for level cards in the EXB should be finished in 4 weeks

[CaptCrash]

Thats excellent, thanks for the quick response.

[Al Locke]

Will this update include support for the flow sensors with the level card in the EXB too?

[Matthias]

I can't promise, the focus will first be on the level control support

[doggydoc10]

Any updates?

[aqua_digital]

you asked this a long time ago and we posted a long time ago they are released, your retailer has been buyng them ;)

[doggydoc10]

I apologize
I did purchase these level expansion cards, but UNFORTUNATELY I am waiting for these cards to work with the EXP box
I should have asked my question diff?
Any updates re connectivity/compatibility of level sensor cards WITH EXP box?
Thank you

Thanks Reef!

[Matthias]

we will re-open this thread when we have news which are worth to mention

[Matthias]

we had been working on the firmware of the ProfiLux and the Expansion Box the last weeks to get the PLM-Level supported in the Expansion Box

finally we got it all up and running, we are doing the final tests at the moment

furthermore the flow-sensors are working now when connected to the expansion box or PLM-Level

the new firmware and ProfiLuxControl will be available on Tuesday next week

[Antipodes]

Very good news, nice to see the additional functionality in hardware being made able to work.
Look forward to the final release.
And thanks for getting this underway!

[CaptCrash]

That's excellent, thank you for letting us know the progress and a predicted ETA.

[doggydoc10]

Thank you

[carlosing74]

[carlosing74]

[JasonK]

Any day now! :)

[Matthias]
