I have 2 Octo Pulse 2 powerheads connected to the Apex 0-10v outlet. I am trying to get them to inversely ramp up and down every 30 seconds. I found a great example somewhere to achieve this by creating a virtual outlet that cycles on and off every 30 seconds, and then changing the profile on the two powerheads to a ramp up and ramp down profile based on that outlet. The two profiles I have are setup with a matching 30s ramp time, and go from 15% - 50%. The problem is, every time it switches profiles, the powerheads go to the minimum or maximum of that profile and stay there for the 30 seconds. The net effect is I appear to just be switching between 15% and 50% instead of ramping. I can see this on the octo pulse controllers - 1 light, then 5 lights, 30 seconds later they reverse. I can also detect it audibly from the pumps. I know the controller displays are accurate because if I change it to any other max percent on the ramp, the controller shows the proper number of lights, but again, no ramp.
Any idea why ramp is not ramping?
