    Programming help

    Could one of you help me with a program? I’m setting up my apex tomorrow and I want to program my AFS. I want 2 feedings a day, noon and 6 pm. I want my return (Cor-20) and skimmer to turn off during the feeding for 10 min. Can someone show me how to accomplish this? Thank you

    You didn't post your existing COR and skimmer code, so I will just use recommended practices for those.

    vFeed
    Set OFF
    If Time 12:00 to 12:10 Then ON
    If Time 18:00 to 18:10 Then ON

    AFS
    Set OFF
    If Output vFeed = ON Then ON
    Defer 001:00 Then ON

    COR
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If Output vFeed = ON Then 1
    If FeedA 000 Then 1
    If FeedD 000 Then OFF

    Skimmer
    Fallback OFF
    Set ON
    If Output CORname percent < 95 Then OFF
    If HighSumpSwitch OPEN Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    What is vFeed?
    I set up AFS to control my Cor15, Skimmer, and Wav, but it only will operate them if i manualy push the feed mode A.
    When the feedA is auto nothing is shut off.
    Any help?

    vFeed is a virtual outlet. Feed modes cannot be scheduled, they are manual only, which is why you need a VO.

    Cor15
    If FeedA 005 Then 1
    If FeedD 000 Then 0
    If Leak CLOSED Then OFF
    If FeedB 005 Then 1

    Skimmer
    Fallback OFF
    Set ON
    If FeedA 005 Then OFF
    If Output COR15 Percent < 35 Then OFF
    If FeedD 000 Then OFF
    If Leak CLOSED Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON
    If FeedB 005 Then 1

    Wave
    If FeedA 005 Then 0

    If FeedB 005 Then OFF

    You have nothing to make the COR run normally. Assuming you have done the IQ level settings for that COR, add as the first two lines:

    Fallback ON
    Set ON


    There is no good reason use 0 for WAVs - just use OFF in the If Feed statements for WAVs. It’s simply clearer to use OFF rather than telling them to run at 0%.

    Is your skimmer driven by a variable speed pump? If not, and it’s just on or off, then the If FeedB statement in the skimmer program is invalid - you can’t make an ON/OFF-only pump run at a percentage. Replace the If FeedB Then 1 with If FeedB Then OFF

    Creating virtual outputs is covered here: https://forum.neptunesystems.com/sho...irtual-Outlets
    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.
