feeding pause - blackout

Could we get the blackout to be taken in consideration of the feeding pause also?

When I feed, I want my return and skimmer to shut off, when it starts back, I always want my return pump to start first and lower the sump level to go down before starting the skimmer.

I would also have the ability to use the auto dosing but to be able to link in to the feeding pause, so that when I dose FM bak, bio or amino to stop the skimmer.

I would like to have these in the advance programming so that we could extend and use the way we want.

seems like something I want too.

custom feed pause , somo sort of timer contruction that is trigger when feedpause hits.

what about using the programmable logic (input = filter, function = delayed on)

could the "delayed on" be one of the timers?

I don't understand

HA! thanks I had not seen then "delayed on" function :)

I will see if I can make it work!

I'm also gonna try but how can I start the trigger ( the delayed on ) because I don't have an adin card or can I assign a different function to a button ?

Yes it would be nice to be able to assign some logic to a button in PLC

we are talking in this thread about the feed pause -> the trigger would be "filter"

Sorry Matthias, yes I have set my logic to filter and delayed on. Everything is working fine.

What we were now talking about was the ability to create a full logic but instead of assigning it to a timer or a event like temp or level it would be assign to manual action that we would launch manually from a section on the controller or a section in PLC where we could assign the "start event X"

thanks for clearing this

where is the advantage compared to sockets manual override?

ok let me give you a example.

Let’s say I configure all the setting/logic to do a water change. Now I want to manually start the water change by pressing a button on the P3 or in PLC.

I want to be in change on when an action gets executed.

Water change can be started manually with PLC or on the device.

Then the input of the programmable logic gate would be "water change".

so how do start it?

yeah, but I would like to have some 'steps' or sequences programmed. and tigger them on demand. (maybe even from the webserver )

eg. I have many 'maintenance' modes.
when I do water changes I turn of my return pomp but keep my tunzes running. but I also do maintence mode when I add 'plankton for my filter feeders' then I turn off my skimmer and my tunze I like to run them harder
or sometimes I turn of my tunzes and my skimmer but return pump active.

manual mode I don't like because forgetting is human :)

Therefore I you could trigger a 'sequence' it would be ideal. It's not 'urgent' but thats why I want a aquacomputer :)
