    Feed Cycle Help

    I thought I set up FeedD to run my NSW mix pump. My programming is as follows.

    Fallback OFF
    If FeedD 000 Then ON
    OSC 000:00/030:00/210:00 Then ON
    If Time 20:00 to 07:59 Then OFF
    If NSW_HI CLOSED Then OFF

    But when I turn on FeedD the pump doesn't come on; the timer does count down. I do have a time range programmed to turn off the pump but my attempts to use FeedD were outside this time constraint. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help.

    You just have the order wrong

    Fallback OFF
    OSC 000:00/030:00/210:00 Then ON
    If Time 20:00 to 07:59 Then OFF
    If FeedD 000 Then ON
    If NSW_HI CLOSED Then OFF

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

    Remember that the code is executed in a top down order. The last true statement wins. So if your float was closed it would not turn on, or if the OSC time was during the off cycle it would not turn on
