    Question Auto Feeder Didn't turn on - If Output v-feed = ON Then ON DEFER

    I'm just setting up my new Feeder

    1. I'm using this programming https://www.neptunesystems.com/downl...AFS_manual.pdf

    I'm using the code Example on page 8

    2. So I ran it to start at

    v-feed
    Set OFF
    If Time 20:50 to 20:51 Then ON


    AutoFeeder
    Set OFF
    If Output v-feed = ON Then ON
    Defer 003:00 Then ON


    And all my equipment is set up correctly

    3. Now my quesiton is that MY AUTOFEEDER didn't work is this because I need to set my V-FEED time greater????

    v-feed
    Set OFF
    If Time 20:50 to 20:54 Then ON

    Here is my output log

    86 2018-05-05 20:50:00 -0500 v-feed ON
    87 2018-05-05 20:50:00 -0500 XF250-L-SPD OFF
    88 2018-05-05 20:50:00 -0500 XF250-L-DIR OFF
    89 2018-05-05 20:50:00 -0500 XF250-R-SPD OFF
    90 2018-05-05 20:50:00 -0500 XF250-R_DIR OFF
    91 2018-05-05 20:50:00 -0500 Vectra-MP1 OFF
    92 2018-05-05 20:50:00 -0500 Quantim OFF
    93 2018-05-05 20:52:00 -0500 v-feed OFF

    Note: After the V-FEED STARTED how do I CANCEL what I ran so I can start the Promgram again but turn on all my turned off equipment..

    Yes, your hunch is correct. Using that 3-minute Defer is probably not necessary. The one minute Defer used in the example is usually an ample delay for the water movement in the tank to calm before the feeder operates
    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.
