    Total Newb: Programing Feeds and Safety Notifications

    I finally decided to join after reading and really not understanding things.

    I want to program just a couple of things:

    1) Shutdown (or ramp down) Cor15 and my Vertex Skimmer just before the AFS Feeder deploys so it doesnt just end up in the sump.

    2) Completely Shutdown Cor15 and Vertex Skimmer if one my two LDKs are triggered by water. Also get a notification of when this happens.

    Return Pump (Cor15): "Cor15" ("Cor15 named Cor15 at Aquabus address 2")
    Power Block: "EB832_3" ("EB832 named EB832_3 at Aquabus address 3")
    Feeder: "AFS" ("AFS named AFS at Aquabus address 4")
    FMM: "LDK" ("FMM named LDK at Aquabus address 5")
    Wave Maker: "WAV_6" and "WAVE_7" ("WAV named WAV_6 at Aquabus address 6") ("WAV named WAV_7 at Aquabus address 7")

    My tank is a Reefer 625XXL

    This is the basic premise that can be tweaked to your liking. This only works for a single rotation per feed and the process differs for multiple rotations. You can use a ramp profile instead of Set ON for the Cor15 if you want as well.

    vFeed (VO)
    Set OFF
    If Time 10:00 to 10:05 Then ON
    If FeedA 000 Then ON

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

    Cor15
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If Output vFeed = ON Then OFF
    If LeakName CLOSED Then OFF
    (Any other maintenance modes, low sump float etc)

    Skimmer
    Fallback OFF
    Set ON
    If Output CorName Speed < 95 Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    (Any other maintenance modes, high sump float, etc)
    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    Can I grant you access so you can take a look around and you can enter your program? If so, whats your name or you can email it to me at [email protected]

    I don't provide that service. I will help you learn how to use the apex but I won't do it for you.

    I can appreciate that, I get it.

    So do I just Copy/Paste the above?

    No. The names I used are generic. You need to create the VO and modify each outlet code to use your outlet names.
