I need to defer a dosing pump so it will turn on once an other pump turns off and only run for a minute.

Post the code for your other pump.
I need to have a pump set up so it will be deferred to both of theses pumps.. once these pumps go off I need the other to turn on for 1 min.
pump 1
Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/000:12/059:48 Then ON
If Time 14:00 to 12:59 Then OFF
pump2
Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/006:00/054:00 Then ON
If Time 21:00 to 19:59 Then OFF
You will need to make a VO to get the behavior you want. Since pump 2 is on for longer, I am only relating it to that to avoid using a second virtual outlet.
PumpStop (virtual outlet)
Set OFF
If Outlet Pump2 = OFF Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON
Pump3
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet pump2 = OFF Then ON
If Outlet PumpStop = ON Then OFF
This is confusing. Are you asking about a third pump, which needs to run after each of these two?
Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
I need to make one vo.
Yes. I made an auto feeder and I have 2 foods I dose and the 3rd pump will be used to clear the lines. So the 3rd pump will have to run after each of the other pumps
Then yes, make one VO as shown in post 4
Is there a better way of setting it up.Originally Posted by RussM
Just looking for the best and easiest way
Not really. You could use an OSC statement offset by 6 minutes, similar to pump 2, but it will require you to change code in two places if you ever change the feeding durations.
OK Thanks I'll make a vo
If I can figure out how to
I just looked at it a bit closer, and you actually will need two VOs since they each turn on at different times.
PumpsOFF (virtual outlet that turns on when both pumps are off)
Set OFF
If Outlet pump1 = OFF Then ON
If Outlet pump2 = ON Then OFF
PumpStop (virtual outlet)
Set OFF
If Outlet PumpsOFF = ON Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON
Pump3
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet PumpsOFF = ON Then ON
If Outlet PumpStop = ON Then OFF
Thanks
Heres how to make VOs FYI

Now that defer will only make the pump run one minute
Yep, and if you ever need to make it flush longer or shorter, just adjust the defer length in the PumpStop VO.
Thank you.
Can you check that again pleae. If pump 1 off then on
If pump 2 on the. Off. Is that right
Still confused but trying to understand this
Thats right. AND (or in this case NOR) logic is a little odd to wrap your head around. Basically what is happening is that if pump1 turns off it allows the VO to turn on, but only if pump 2 is also off. If pump 1 turns on, neither condition is true, so it stays off. The end result is that the VO turns on when both pump 1 AND pump 2 are OFF.
And only runs for 1 minutes then off again
The middle one if outlet pumps off. Shouldn't be write like that or should I add the names of the pumps into it
Pumps real names are mysis , pods
