how to turn sockets off during AWC?

[kassysimon]

Hello.

I would like to have certain sockets turn off during water change.

I have read the Programmable Logic programming guide but i do not understand how ti do this.

I have three sockets that i wish to turn off.

1 is the filter.

2 is the PH controller

3 is the heaters.

thank you.

Simon.

there is a value 'water change' in the programmable logic

I would start there ....

[kassysimon]

Yes there is a water change in the Programable logic.
How is this used on a socket that is controlled by the temperature sensor?
If the socket that a heater is plugged into is controlled by a programmable logic and not the temperature function dosnt that mean its not being controlled by the temperature probe any more?

Same as the CO2 solenoid. If the socket that the CO2 solenoid is plugged into is being controlled by a programmable logic rather than the PH probe-decrease function than how is that socket set to be controlled by the PH probe?


I have the socket functions set up like this:
Socket 1 - Heater (product), Temperature 1. Heater (Function). Controlled by the Temperature probe.
Socket 2 - CO2 Solenoid valve (product), pH value 1, Decrease (Function) Controlled by the PH probe.

Sockets 3 + 4 are controlling the lights and filter.

Sockets 5 + 6 are programmed to control AWC. 5 - Drain Water 1, 6 - Fill water 1.

I would like the to have sockets 1, 2 and 4 turn off during AWC.

How do i perform this function?

I have read the Programmable Logic manual but i cant understand how to set it so the sockets that are controlled by the Temperature Probe (1) and the PH Probe (2) are
still controlled by the probes but turned off when AWC starts.

Is there any way i can do this?

Or is there an option to start Maintenance by a timer? This will allow me to turn the selected sockets off by why off a timer activated Maintenance?

Thank you.

I have very similar issue as i can't turn off out top up sensor when making water changes. so i keep getting sms text when doing a water change. maybe 20 or so.

I made a ticket on the Profilux Help and was told that this is the place to ask for help.

It seems not even Profilux knows how to do it which leads me to believe that it can not be one.

Seems to be many issues with the profilux that are not being fixed.

Everything has their limits.....

Nonsense. GHL staff is on holiday at the moment and your wish is not an issue for a ticket due it´s not a malfunction or an error.
With a little bit of knowledge about programmable logic it´s no problem to set up your wish.

I would like the to have sockets 1, 2 and 4 turn off during AWC.

Socket 1 - Heater (product), Temperature 1. Heater (Function). Controlled by the Temperature probe.

Do as follows:

• Open programmable logic menu in PLC
• Clic on G1
• Set "Input 1" to "Temperature 1" and "Heater"
• Set "Input 2" to "Water change" and check "Invert" box
• Set Function to "AND"
• Close and save it with "OK"
• Open "System"->"Socket functions" in PLC
• Assign "Socket 1" to "Programmable logic 1"
• Close and save it with "OK"
• That´s all for socket #1

Socket 2 - CO2 Solenoid valve (product), pH value 1, Decrease (Function) Controlled by the PH probe.

• Open programmable logic menu in PLC
• Clic on G2
• Set "Input 1" to "pH vakue 1" and "Decrease"
• Set "Input 2" to "Water change" and check "Invert" box
• Set Function to "AND"
• Close and save it with "OK"
• Open "System"->"Socket functions" in PLC
• Assign "Socket 2" to "Programmable logic 2"
• Close and save it with "OK"
• That´s all for socket #2

Sockets 3 + 4 are controlling the lights and filter.

Socket #3 -> nothing to do ...
Socket #4

• Open programmable logic menu in PLC
• Clic on G3
• Set "Input 1" to "Filter 1"
• Set "Input 2" to "Water change" and check "Invert" box
• Set Function to "AND"
• Close and save it with "OK"
• Open "System"->"Socket functions" in PLC
• Assign "Socket 4" to "Programmable logic 3"
• Close and save it with "OK"
• That´s all for socket #2

Sockets 5 + 6 are programmed to control AWC. 5 - Drain Water 1, 6 - Fill water 1.

Do as shown in manual

Programmable logic is not very difficult once you have understand how it´s working

Thank you. Enjoy your holidays......

I tried but i didnt understand the 'invert' function but now i do, thank you.

Thank you very much!!!!

You make it all sound so simple.

hello again.

All of the above worked perfectly but something happened.....

The water no longer fills back up after the water drains.

I have not changed the settings of the optical sensors but after making the adjustments to the other sockets as above the AWC stopped working.

Under Socket Functions i have:

I have socket 5 set to Drain Water 1.

I have socket 6 set to Fill water 1.

Under Level i have:

Control Circuit 1 set to Water Change.

Reset Error Automatically selected.

Activated through Timer 1.

Used sensors, Sensors 1 - 1 and Sensor 2 - 2

It is activated through Timer 1.

Can you see if any of the settings are incorrect?


thank you.
