    Default need help with a program for float switches

    I was hoping someone could help me with a basic program.
    I would like 2 float switches to control 1 switchable socket. 1 to turn the switch on the other to turn the switch off.

    My situation is that I have an overflow tank with 2 float switches mounted in it. 1 high and 1 low. In the bottom of the overflow tank I have a pump connected to a switchable socket on a PAB powerbar. When the water height in the overflow tank rises to the high float switch, I would like the pump to turn on, and when the water level then drops back to the low float switch, I want the pump to shut off.

    I am running a Profilux IIIex with and expansion box.
    I need this program to work the 2 float switches plugged into the expansion box with a splitter.

    Thanks

    what about using the mode "min-max-control"?

    Thanks for the Reply Matthias.
    I am not sure how to use this function. Are you able to tell me where I might find some help setting this up?
