GHL Control Center 1.1.1.6 and new firmware

[Matthias]

Available as Beta for download now

This time a major update - especially the long-awaited power failure monitoring now included:

New features for ProfiLux 3 (with included firmware 6.36) and ProfiLux 4 (with included firmware 7.14):
- Power Failure Monitoring: Triggers alarm and starts emergency program for connected devices
- Kalkwasser control mode for KH Director
- Flowsensor alarms can be disabled during maintenance or feedpause
- separate channel, maintenance and PBF settings for Mitras Lightbar on Expansion box 2 (with included EXB2 firmware 2.04)


Expansion box 2 now also supports PLM-ADIN with firmware 2.04 (included).

Hi,

Good job,

FlowSensor:
Thank you for the opportunity to disable the flow sensor alarm, a long-awaited thing.
It could be perfect, but no :-) I get one or two "beep" of Touch and 2-5 seconds of siren from Profilux and ... a notification alarm by mail (but fortunately no sms).
I only encounter the problem with the return pump which is bigger and takes longer to restart.
It may be necessary to add at least 5 seconds after maintenance / power off until the pumps resume their rated flow.

PowerCut:
Also a suggestion for power cut monitoring and maintenance, you should add a time settings BEFORE activation (like deactivation)
You could replace all three selects and time input box by two time input boxs and two "Manually" check-box:
Time before activation since power cut (0: immediately)
Time before deactivation since power return (0: immediately)
Why? Because it's useless to do something for short power outage.
But for me using maintenance for that is not the best option, i think wee need another option, with maintenance activated we stop many control, (for exemple, my battery is big and can run Profilux and hardware for 10 hours). It's risky to disable overflow protection, ATO, leaks sensors, etc for so long time...
First, you should add "PowerCut" to Programmable logic inputs list.
Next, why not a "During PowerCut" collumn to "Flow-sensor" for constant flow.
Same for "Stream pump", add a "at PowerCut" specific value.
At last, for each "illumination" add a "PowerCut light reduction" checkbox and do like for "Temp.-dep. lightred." where we can set specific reduction.
With these change we can save more battery and keep all security.

Mitras LightBar:
Last thing, Mitras Lightbar configuration in this G.C.C. is broken, if we clic on "Mitras Lightbar" under "Illuminations" we get "Attempted an unsupported operation." box and G.C.C. fail and shutdown. Not a firmware problem because no error with older G.C.C

Thanks.

To the Mitras Lightbar issue:
Yes, you were right, the English translations had been missing, I oversaw that.
A NEW GCC version is available from NOW on.

To the timeout for flow alarm:
This is a good point, but can't be done just like this. There are deeper changes in the firmware required. Please don't expect this within the next 6 weeks, not time before.

Power cut monitoring:
The same here, interesting thoughts, but needs time.
I think we can do this with the delay, but I am not sure about the rest. You have 4 different maintenance programs, I can't see the problem why not to use a dedicated maintenance program for the powercut event.

I can't see the problem why not to use a dedicated maintenance program for the powercut event.

When maintenance is activate Profilux not only disable level alarm, it stop many control.
I have a big UPS battery which can run Profilux and hardware for 10 hours, It's risky to disable overflow protection, ATO, leaks sensors, etc for so long time...

ps: also about "You have 4 different maintenance programs", it's not so many, because of no light scene, i use 2 maintenance only for manual lights.

To the timeout for flow alarm:
I wish it is longer than 60s. Because my main pump is EcoTech M1,whose setting is delay 60s starting.
If I set the flow sensor alam, I always get the alarm for 60s after feedpause.

Is this version safe to download and use?. I'm having problems connecting to P3.1 with the older 1.1.1.4 and would like to give this a try.

Thanks

[Vinny]

Yes it's safe.

"Beta" only applies to the newly implemented features.

EXB2 configuration via P4 when more than 1 PAB device is connected has been fixed with GCC1117 which comes in a few days

Has BXB1 bug been fixed too? Just like the EBX 2 issue

Sorry post in wrong thread - see my post in the tread about 1.1.1.7 instead
