I have a Varios-6 DC return that I have controlled through the 0-10V interface of the Apex. I have the 0-10v set to 42% (Rtn_normal profile) normally and 10% for feeding (Rtn_Feed) and I have it set and fallback to the 42% profile.
The Return Pump real outlet is only turned off if there's a leak detected and it's set and fallback is ON
I've been having intermittent issues with connection to the internet I'm sorting through. I have a home Orbi mesh network that works super well and have the Apex hard-wired directly to one of the nodes. 99% of the time everything is great, but occasionally I get the intermittent "power issue" that seems to be related to whether the internet is available rather than if the Apex head can talk to the power bar, which is super annoying in itself.
Now the issue...when this happens, my other pieces of equipment seem to stay in their operational modes just fine, and I assume it's not doing the fallback, since my lights stay on (their outlet's fallback is OFF). The Varios, though, gets turned off with the 15m and 60m lights blinking for about 20 seconds, then it turns back on just fine. The skimmer is set to turn off if the return power outlet is OFF, so that turns off as well and comes back on in 2 minutes after the return which is appropriate.
It annoys me and especially my wife, since all of the sudden you get the gurgle of the tank siphoning through the return line and then a little later it turns back on. If I unplug the 10V line to the return's controller, it keeps working just fine through the transient, so it seems the Apex is sending an incorrect signal to the 10V line. I'm still a bit confused why, then, the skimmer would turn off, since it's only looking at the feed and power outlet of the Return line, not the 0-10V.
The more basic issue is why on earth the Apex would do ANYTHING differently based on the network connection...it should just keep on going as if nothing it wrong at all.
Here is my code:
[VarSpdRtn] (virtual Outlet)
Fallback Rtn_normal
Set Rtn_normal
If FeedA 000 Then Rtn_Feed
If FeedD 000 Then Rtn_Feed
[Return_3] (real Outlet)
Fallback ON
Set ON
If Output AnyLeak = ON Then OFF
[Skimmer 1] (real Outlet)
Fallback ON
Set ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedD 000 Then OFF
If Output Return_3 = OFF Then OFF
If Output AnyLeak = ON Then OFF
Defer 002:00 Then ON
Defer 000:05 Then OFF
