I just recently switch to profilux p4 from Apex. I need to program a pump for kalk reactor to turn on 2min every 30 min of the day which equal to 48x per day 2 min each. I try the timer program but I don't think I do it right. Please check the screenshot and tell me how
Thanks

That's doesn't look right. There should be a better way using the Day-Intervals in the Day Mode section. Also I imagine the switch mode Cyclic option should be used. Hopfully someone else can chime in that has more knowledge on it.
However when I look at the set up menu for the Cyclic function it makes me scratch my head.

Something like this I think is what you want.

The programming manual talks about it. Also this menu can only be seen via GCC and not in the APP.

From the Manual:
Cyclic
This mode allows very special switching sequences. Please note that this mode can only be selected and set via our PC program GCC (GHL Control Center)!
In this mode, the timer is switched on and off alternately, always after a certain waiting time has elapsed.
The wait time after which is switched on is determined by random generator within the limits of the minimum waiting time and maximum waiting time. If the waiting time should always be the same, enter the same value for both times. The waiting time after which is switched off is also determined by a minimum waiting time and a maximum waiting time.
One cycle consists of 1 to 4 pairs of switch-on and switch-off waiting times. After the last switch-off of the cycle, the cycle starts from the beginning. All waiting times are adjustable in the range from 1 s to 65535 s.


I also will be seting up a Kalk Stirrer so this is good to know.
Perhaps these guys can help @Ditto @Vinny@GHLUSA @Matthias Gross

Your spot on your cycle command it will be turning on in 28 minutes for 2 minutes then repeating the cycle.

Apply that timer to the outlet your motor on your calk stirer is on and your all set.

Ok, so you want it to spin when the PH is below a certain value?

I think I figured it out. I created a cyclic timer first. Then I created a PL with the cyclic timer I created in input 1, and ph-value control upwards with the function AND. Is this correct?
