Apex to jebao

[Jfischer]

Alright I'm new to the apex and I'm trying to program my jebao wavemaker with the profiles I made. They work except when it comes time to change from one to another. I end up having to turn them off and on till I get it to go back to the profile settings. I'm almost sure it's a programming issues but I've tried everything I can find and nothing works. When feed goes off it just goes back to all 4 wavemaker coming on and off at the sametime. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong wrong here.


PP20 right
Set Wave1
If Time 09:30 to 20:30 Then Wave1
If Time 21:30 to 07:59 Then Nightwave1
If Time 08:00 to 09:29 Then Duskdawn1
If Time 20:31 to 21:29 Then Duskdawn1
If FeedA 000 Then OFF


PP20 left
Set wave2
If Time 09:30 to 20:30 Then wave2
If Time 21:30 to 07:59 Then Nightwave2
If Time 08:00 to 09:29 Then DUSKDAWN2
If Time 20:31 to 21:29 Then DUSKDAWN2
If FeedA 000 Then OFF


PP8 right
Set Wave1
If Time 09:30 to 20:30 Then Wave1
If Time 21:30 to 07:59 Then Nightwave1
If Time 08:00 to 09:29 Then Duskdawn1
If Time 20:31 to 21:29 Then Duskdawn1
If FeedA 000 Then OFF


PP8 left

If FeedA 000 Then OFF

You do not need to use a Set Wav# and then an If Time ... Then Wav# (same profile name); the Set statement will active the designated profile whenever none of the If statements are true. For example, you have this:

Set Wave1
If Time 09:30 to 20:30 Then Wave1
If Time 21:30 to 07:59 Then Nightwave1
If Time 08:00 to 09:29 Then Duskdawn1
If Time 20:31 to 21:29 Then Duskdawn1
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

The highlighted line serves no purpose, and can be deleted.

But that is not the cause of your issue. Post the profiles.

Wave1
sync disabled
Divide by 10 disabled
Initial off time 1 sec
On time 2 sec
Off time 2 sec
Minimum intensity 0%
Maximum intensity 55%

Duskdawn1
sync disabled
Divide by 10 disabled
Initial time off 1 sec
On time 2 sec
Off time 2 sec
Mini intensity 0%
Max intensity 45%

Nightwave1
sync disabled
Divide by 10 disabled
Initial off 1 sec
On time 2 sec
Off time 2 sec
Min intensity 0%
Max intensity 30%

Number 2 of all profiles are the same exact thing, that's the only way I can get them to oscillate correctly.

You need to enable sync.

You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

Alright, what exactly is it that sync does? I thought it sync the wavemakers to make them come on and off at the same time. I have oolite sand and wanting them to osc.

Sync puts the profiles on the same time base so that any type of synchronizing is possible. This allows you to do sync, anti-sync, or clashing depending on how you set the timings in the profiles. Without it enabled, it's indeterminate how they will interact with each other.

[RussM]

You say you want them to oscillate; that's inherently what a Pump type profile does. Do you mean you want them to alternate as well? If so, you need to set the timings properly so they alternate, AKA run in anti-sync.

Wave1
sync enabled
Divide by 10 disabled
Initial off time 0
On time 2
Off time 2
Minimum intensity 0%
Maximum intensity 55%

Wave2
sync enabled
Divide by 10 disabled
Initial off time 2
On time 2
Off time 0
Minimum intensity 0%
Maximum intensity 55%

Note the changes I've highlighted. This will make left be on for 2 seconds at 55% and right be off. Then left will be off and right will be on @55% for 2 seconds, in a repeating pattern.

Do the same for the other pairs of profiles.

Alright, thank you I'll give that a try
