    Did another test: unplug the cable from Tunze 6105 & plug it to 6055.

    6055 also does not stop in feeding pause (but follows the "illumination" set)..

    Actually, they do not react in feeding command.

    Whatever is choosen as a reaction to feeding pause (at minimum or off) they stay univolved.

    so, I did many tests here and I can't see that there is an issue or a bug

    I did this:
    pump 1 has min 1% and max 100%
    1-10V-interface 1 (ProfiLux) and interface 5 (expansion box) have voltages 3V and 8V, "pump 1"

    then I measured the voltage on both 1-10V-outputs (both had the same readings)
    no feed pause: alternating between 3V and 8V
    in feed pause: 0V (when "off") resp. 3V (when "at minimum")

    -> the output voltage was 100% correct in any case

    I am not sure if the Tunze pump is supposed to switch off completely at a 0V control signal

    can you supply the Tunze over a switchable socket in order to switch the power completely off (then use function "pump x" and set the check mark "pump completely off during feed pause" in the pump settings)?

    Well I could do that, but I have 4 x Tunze 6055 (4 x 18W = 72W) & 2 x Tunze 6105 (2 x 28W = 56W) and only one socket free in the one Powerbar 6D I have.
    How many Watts can a single 6D plug hold?


    I could also do this test, if you think it could help:

    Plug one end of your cables, Tunze1 for instance, in Tunze controller 7095 (multicontroller) and the other end in one of your extension cables (instead of profi).
    Then press the button "feed pause" in Tunze 7095 and measure the voltage in the cables (the colours) that you tell me.
    Then we will know what signal makes the Tunze pumps stop when "feed stop" in Tunze 7095 is pressed.
    And in the next update it will be fixed.

    How do you find this approach?

    The 1% whould also work fine with me.

    But in my case, when I press feeding pause, the state of the pump shows that the pumps continues the cycle between the min & max set value & they actually do.
    If I tick "pump complete off during inactivity" then the pump will stop when in no activity.

    I am sorry but it works here without a problem

    when I press ESC the percentage drops to 0% in PLC, I used exactly the settings I saw on your screenshots
    2 pumps, sequence 1, 1...2 minutes
    sinus waves 10s
    pumps during feedpause off

    could you give us a summary of all the relevant settings, I am sure we oversaw something

    For the first time I saw FP flashing and was wondering what is that.

    Feeding Pause works great, the pumps actually stop!

    I reconnect & reprogramm pumps, "update" with the same version.

    The symprom was like ESC wasn't pushed (I was pressing ESC from the remote control of the PLC).

    I know I should go step by step to find out what was causing the problem, but I was very anxious about the problem since 6105 are very powerfull and whould really like to stop them when feeding pause.

    But I am very glad, once again thaks Matthias for you time & help!
