    Question AFS Programming Help

    Hi guys,

    Frustrated. Searched through the forum, read several posts, and still a 100% unclear on how to do it.

    Here is my goal:


    • Feed at 11am and 3pm
    • Stop MP60s 1 minute before feeding
    • Rotate drum twice with each feeding
    • Turn MP60s back on after 5 minutes


    Thank you!

    I think the last entry in the post is what I need.

    I know about creating the vFeed virtual outlet, adding code to the Feeder, and adding code to the MP60s.

    StartFeed and StopFeed are new to me. Are these two additional virtual Outlets?

    Yes. The timing on StartFeed determines the delay before the first rotation, and the difference in time between StartFeed and StopFeed determines the number of rotations.

    I think I'm starting to get it.

    Let's take the first feeding:

    If Time 09:30 to 09:37 Then ON

    This is a total of 7 minutes.

    1 minute goes to StartFeed
    3 minutes goes to the 2 drum rotations
    3 remaining minutes goes to StopFeed.

    Now, your code for StopFeed is:

    Defer 003:30 Then ON

    That's put us at 7 minutes and 30 seconds.

    My code in that thread was actually 3 rotations. You would want 2:30 not 3:30.
