Apex / Vortech feed mode speed? Look here.

[AdamNC]

I was scrolling the internet looking for a way to have my pumps on while in feed mode tonight. With no real answers out there I started messing around in my Apex Fusion and came up with this. I was not comfortable with them being off and having the chance of a small fish swimming in the wet side, ending in sushi when the pumps turned back on. With no Apex/WXM they would slow down to about 50% of your max speed if you press and hold the feed mode. With this setup, you can set the percentage to what ever you need to.

Click on the gears on your main page.
Next click the Profile button with the red * next to it.

Next click an open profile, case in instance I used my first one, number 1.

Step 1. rename to what ever you like, I just chose Feed.
Step 2. click on type and choose Vortech.

Step 3. is a double typo forget it, ;)
Step 4. choose desired mode, I just chose constant.
Step 5. set the percent you want.
Step 6. save.

Now for step 7-10 you need to do this for all your pumps.
Step 7. click the first pump you want to edit.

Step 8. click the Basic Edit View.

Step 9. Change the word OFF to Feed or what ever you named the profile.
Step 10. save and repeat steps 7-10 for the rest of your pumps.

I hope all who reads this enjoys :) cheers

Thank you Adam. Took me a while to find this thread. Everything else I found on the internet was so complex it made me want to take my 20Volt dewalt to my temple. This sort of thing is so simple but yet neptune makes it so difficult to implement. This should be a standard feature with a checkbox or something that easy.

Glad it helped. :)

Thanks! In step 9 I can't find the word "off anywhere and when I type "If FeedA 000 then Feed" and send I get this "//Error: line 9 - Expected ON, OFF, PFx // If FeedA 000 then Feed". Where is the "off" that I need to replace? I should add that I am tweaking the Vortech virtual outlets and not the physical Energy Bar outlets. Is that right?

Yes the virtual outlet is what your coding but I haven’t a clue why your getting an error. I’ve been using this same code for years.

Here’s the exact code I’m using right now with my time and power points which may differ from yours.
