    I need help programming my MP10 and MP40 for feed mode/ nutrient transport mode

    I would like to have help setting up a program that is FeedA on my Apex. I want those MPs to slow down to feed mode. Then I would like them to switch to nutrient transport mode for three minutes then go back to my default setting at that time. The problem is I am very confused on how to do this writing program in the advanced feature.

    You don't say how long you want the pumps to be in slow speed before they shift to Nutrient Transport. I'm going to assume 10 minutes for that.

    1. Define 2 Vortech-type profiles for Slow and Nutrient Transport with the desired names, modes, and intensity. I've used names of Slow and NuTrans in my example below.
    2. Change the FeedA Interval to 10 minutes (Configuration->Misc Setup if using the classic dashboard, Setup->Outlet Setup->Feed Interval if using the display menu)
    3. Add at the end of your existing programming:

    If FeedA 003 Then NuTrans
    If FeedA 000 Then Slow
    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 was also told to try this... What do you think?

    Profiles

    Name- Slow
    Type- Vortech
    Vortech Type- Nutrient
    Max Intensity- This is up to you, maybe 10?

    Name- NuTrans
    Type- Vortech
    Vortech Type- Nutrient
    Max Intensity- This is up to you, maybe 50?

    Name- Day
    Type- Vortech
    Vortech Type- Whatever you normally have them set to.
    Max Intensity- Whatever you normally have them set to.

    Variable speed setting (whichever ones you have a Vortech attached to)

    Control Type- Advanced
    Set Day
    If FeedA 000 Then Slow
    If FeedA 005 Then NuTrans

    These two lines must be reversed, like this:

    Set Day
    If FeedA 005 Then NuTrans
    If FeedA 000 Then Slow

    Also, the 005 will cause NuTrans to be active for 5 minutes - you said you want 3 minutes.

    I have a question about this to? In the advanced code do you need to add the fallback line or set line or do you just put in your feed lines? Thanks
