Apex Issues

Medic755 · 03/08/2017, 06:26 AM

I have the AFS module for the Apex. I set up the VO as described and the VO never triggers by time but will trigger for feed mode. Everything else in the programming works fine and I copied it in word for word.

So then I tried to set everything back to normal set up with the AFS and just have everything turn off if the AFS outlet state was ON. Again the AFS never triggered.

I'm having a hard time pulling up those pictures if you can copy paste your code would help.

Here's my programming for mine. It rotates once and 4x a day. Edit: and fyi I don't program it like in the comprehensive manual as I don't like the inverse timing. I like straight forward and simple.

virtual outlet
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 12:00 to 12:02 Then ON
If Time 15:00 to 15:02 Then ON
If Time 18:00 to 18:02 Then ON
If Time 21:00 to 21:02 Then ON
If FeedA 000 Then ON

AFS module
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Output vfeed_A8 = ON Then ON
If FeedA 000 Then ON
Defer 002:00 Then ON (I have my return turn off when feeding so pellets don't go down the drain so this is a delay to allow the return to shutdown and the overflow drain down)

VO

Set OFF
If Time 11:30 to 11:34 Then ON
If Time 17:00 to 17:04 Then ON
If FeedA 000 Then ON

Feeder

Falback OFF
Set OFF
If outlet Vfeed = ON then ON
Defer 001 then ON.
