I'm a little confused about the new modes with the Vortech pumps & Maintenance mode.
What do the "Active Special Modes for" options at the bottom of the Vortech pump screen actually do?

I want to...

Come to think of it I've had some odd flashing too of late.
I'm never in front of the tank when it happens, it's sort of from the corner of your eye sort of thing.

I have 5 modules, and I've only...

Exact same issue here - It's a shame. It was cool to show off the lightening simulation with the AI controller, but I have the GHL feature turned off.

Agree, having a serial port backup is a very good idea, but...

Does your PIII not have a USB connector on the back? The USB device on the PIII appears as a USB to RS232 converter. So, you just load the driver for that USB device, and it appears as a new COM port...

Good to know.
I updated all 3 of my Vortech pumps using my Profilux the other day, no problem at all.

I have 5 AI modules over my tank. It would be nice for cloud simulation if you could address each module independently, so have that type of effect where a cloud comes across the tank.

From what I...

Confirmed fixed - thank you.
Just need to fix my LAN issue now:(

Just to be complete - and it might help other folks at some point.

I did an experiment that rules out any network connectivity issue.
I have a network video camera. I set it's IP to static...

So it was a real issue - good to hear - I was starting to doubt myself.....

Thanks a lot.

Saved with 5.9.1, updated FW to 5.10. Then did a factory reset, and loaded settings.
All worked apart from those two.

Yes, that was the first thing I tried in fact.
Since then I tried a firmware update (to see if that would flush out any setting that could of caused this).
Then, I did a factory reset.

It's odd,...

The IP is the same in PLC and on the unit itself.

Interesting that the MAC is not in the range you mention!!
1880

Any chance you could move this thread to the ProfiLuxControl 5 (PC program and communication) section please - I started it in the wrong place.

In summary, been through all the settings. It's been...

How come the following settings are not saved and restored when you save/restore a PAR file fie the GUI?

As a final check, I did a factory reset.

Switched the language from German to English, and loaded the settings file I saved before hand.

Still no IP connectivity.

So, it does look like a...

Tried a direct connect to the LAN port of the Profilux, with all static IP's (just host and Profilux through a simply 4 port switch and through a cross over cable)
I get the connect lights on the...

So, just updated the firmware. Still no IP connectivity. I'm going to try a factory reset and a reload of all the settings perhaps.
Is the IP module an add in card, could it be replaced?

Cheers,...

Hi there,

I've had no problem for months, but today I've lost IP comms to my Profilux.
I'm configued as static IP, wired into my home network.
I can't ping the unit, or get the web interface up....

I now use my 3 Vortech pumps in Profilux controlled mode, therefore feed mode works.
So, when I do maintenance, I just select feed too.

But, it would be much better if you could do all this from...

OK, great. Having this in the firmware would be really helpful.

Cheers,

Steve

I want to double check the function of the Vortech controller when in maintenance mode. I'm running my Vortechs in Profilux controlled mode.

I want to turn off the Vortech pumps and the return...

As title, can't find these anywhere?

Cheers.

Is it possible to set the intensity of the special lighting function (aqua illumination) during maintenance?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi there,

Is it possible to generate a local alarm based on a digital input from the PLC-ADIN card?
This would be a really good feature, as I've got some custom monitoring hardware, and it would...
