A lot of Profilux 4 questions

Hi

My ProfiLux 4 arrived this evening. After some attempts I have it to work with WiFi. I have one 3.1 ex with external WiFi (netgear) connected to my network also. I learned some things and have some questions

1) By default – Wi Fi is disable. You need to use the GCC and an USB Cable – go in and manage the WiFi through Systen – communication first

2) if you do any change in the administration (of connections) field - You need to shout down the GHL Control Center and restart it. Otherwise you will have no connection.

3) The Search automatically option for Profilux 4 does not work. You have to have a fixed ip address (and close down and restart GCC if you change) But it still works for the P3 serie

4) The web page´s change of network setting for p4 does not work

5) Where is my bellowed web interface xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/overview.html and the other pages? Can I got this to P4 also? Use it every day and I do not want to use My GHL of different reasons

6) How do I configure redox and pH ports to be 2 pH or two Redox

wrong, closting the connection (see memo field in this settings page) is sufficient

3) The Search automatically option for Profilux 4 does not work. You have to have a fixed ip address But it still works for the P3 serie

possible, we recommend anyway a static IP address for a safe and reliable connection

(and close down and restart GCC if you change)

wrong, see above

4) The web page´s change of network setting for p4 does not work

should work, I will forward this information to the developer

P4 will get a complete new web interface, we are still working on it

6) How do I configure redox and pH ports to be 2 pH or two Redox

at the moment on the device itself (change measurment range)
a future GCC version will support this also

Thank´s for a fast answer

Try to explain 2 and 3

I´ll try to explain what I mean. This is not only valid for p4 - it is for P3 also. It happens when I try to switch between automatic modes to static IP. Not if I change between static mode to automatic mode. When I do the administration things I have no connection with the P4 or P3

I chose administration

Attachment 8859

P3 in this case

Attachment 8860

Change to static IP

Attachment 8861

Save, close and try with Connection

Attachment 8862

The result

Attachment 8863

Continue in next post

Cont

Close down the software GHL Control Center and try again – Voila

Attachment 8864

If I haven´t close down the software – I´m not can´t either start my P4 but after a close down of the software – I´m able to do that also

Hi

A new question

I can´t find remote control in the GHL Control Center for P4. Will you include that in later versions of the software or will you make it possible to calibrate the sensors direct in the software?

Remote control is a huge help for me when I calibrate sensors attached to expansionboxes 50 - 100 meters away from the Control unit

Where do I found "measurement range" for pH and redox. I found it for conductivity probe under Sensor settings/Conductiv/ measurements range but did not finf any sub meny of measurements range for pH or redox?

Sincerely Lasse

Keeping to ask questions

Will it be possible with e-mail notifications from ProfiLux 4 in the future?

The problem showed in post 3 and 4 is also valid for older versions of GHL Control Center and as mentioned even for the 3.1 serie. Have the same problem with 1.0.8.7 and P3.1T - its not a P4 question only.. After configuration of fixed IP in the administration (Before connecting to ProfiLux) - I had to shout down GCC and restart the software. After that it works to connect to profilux.

yes

Thank you Matthias

Do you have a answer to post 5 also.

Sincerely Lasse

this is the problem when too many questions/topics are mixed in one thread, some of them might be overlooked

can be done on the device itself, future GCC version will offer this also

Yea - that I understand - but I can´t find it at the device itself either. At the device I use the keyboard of the device to go to Sensor Settings. When I chose pH 1, or Redox 1 – I get the following submenus;

Attachment 8912


Activity
Nominal Value
Operation Hours
Hysteresis
Alarm
Nocturn. Change
Calibration
Curr.act.value
Op.mode.contr
Signal filter

I´m sorry but I can´t find measurements range at the device itself either for this two sensors
For conductivity and temperature I´m able to find them at the device itself.

In Profilux 4 programming guide I can´t find any description how to do a switch between redox or pH either. In chapter 5.13 only conductivity and temperature are described.

Attachment 8913

Can you please describe for me how I found it at the device itself, which menus and which submenus I have to use

On point 2 I have the same problem. Have to restart. Reconnect doesn't work.

Hi

Do you mean that you have to restart the software (GHL Control Center) or the whole computer? For me its enough with restarting software

Gcc. I allso have a problem with my laptop and the USB. I can't connect. Works fine on my workstation. Both win 10.1.

With the latest versions of GCC i have some problems with USB and PAB activity with one ProfiLux 3.1T. Last time I checked that computer I have a Powerbar 5.1 connected with PAB. I was able to work for a short time - after that I got communation error (do not remember the code however - it was someting like error code 50) If I shout down the powerbar (or disconected it) the USB connection works without any problems.

Sincerely Lasse

I doubt that this has something to do with the GCC version, it is more a coincidence.

This issue seems to be related to electromagnetical interferences (e.g. caused by switching powerbars), so it is not a software problem, it is the electrical USB connection.

- Keep connection short
- Use grounded computer (in case it is a laptop: connect power supply)

Oh that's a new one. I had the same problem on my 3ex so that's explains it.

Thank you Matthias

Plausible explanation. I have used lab tops (three different but the same profilux 3.1 T) in these cases. I will test the solution next time I work with that special Profilux 3.1 T

@matthias

Is it possible to move this thread to the new ProfiLux 4 subforum? I did not exist when I started this thread.
