check my APEX ATO program

[james1990]

I am setting up a ATO with my apex but I am getting an error with the code.
the Avast top off states that the boxes are normally CLOSED i.e. when unpressurized the switch reports a closed, or activated state, turning the pump ON

this is what I have,

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
OSC 000:00/000:15/059:50 Then ON
If TopOff1x5_1 CLOSED Then ON
If TopOff1x5_1 OPEN Then OFF

it says line 4 and 5 error.

 

[Widdy]

Make sure name of switch (TopOff1x5_1) is correct.

Only line #4 is needed. It'll assume the opposite (Line 5) when line 4 is not satisfied.

Might want to alter your OSC line to read OSC 000:00/000:15/059:45 That'll fulfill 1 full hour.

When you're done with yours, come by and set mine up? Free beer

 

[james1990]

how would I make sure the name is correct?

 

[Widdy]

Check on your Apex dashboard and see if the switch is there, if not check the unused tiles area on the same dashboard.

I changed the name to TO1x5_1 in the virtual outlet but im still getting this error

\\ Error: Valid keywords following If are Temp, pH, ORP, DO, Cond, Feed Cycle, SwitchX, PowerFail, Sun, or Moon //Error: line 3 - If TO1x5_1 CLOSED Then ON
\\ Error: Valid keywords following If are Temp, pH, ORP, DO, Cond, Feed Cycle, SwitchX, PowerFail, Sun, or Moon //Error: line 4 - If TO1x5_1 OPEN Then OFF

I don't think you can rename the switch names, program should read..


Fallback OFF
Set OFF
OSC 000:00/000:15/059:50 Then ON
If Switch_1 OPEN Then OFF

The if statement will over ride the osc command, with line 5 the top off will always fill

Which programming did you end up using?

 

[james1990]

its saying the name (TO1x5_1) is not valid after the If statement

 

[james1990]

is it possible that im not working with a virtual outlet yet? I went to Configuration- module setup-ADD DC4 start control address A1 (A1 was automatically there)

 

[Widdy]

How is the ATO connected to the Apex? Breakout box? Digital Output for Apex?

 

[james1990]

sorry I should have stated, Im using the Breakout box and I have the black to ground and red to 16 (im using 16 because I didnt want to split the wire more and keep it neat)

 

[Widdy]

If breakout box, then like Joe said switches will be Switch1 through 6. Give that a try.

 

[james1990]

So still go under xxxA1 outlet and name it Switch6x5_1?

so, If Switch6x5_1 CLOSED Then OPEN?

Thank you SO much

 

[Widdy]

You can't rename switches, it's automatically assigned. If you're working with virtual outlets, list them and let's see what we're working with.

end up using urs. running great so far:biggrinpa

 

[viplok]

plug ur ato pump to one of the outlet and program the outlet to following

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If pH > 08.40 Then OFF
If Switchx6_2 CLOSED Then ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

no VO no nothing. simple and to the point:p
