help with apex programming

[romzan45]

Hello. I'm a newbie. I have a problem with programming the flow sensor. With a minimum flow I can not get an alarm on my email. If I enter the command, the optical sensor alarm is disabled. I enter the command in emailAlm_I5. If obratk <700 Then ON. Tell me how do it right. thanks in advance.

Easiest way to program the alarms on them is go to the inputs page. See pics

Sorry, but I didn’t understand what and where to enter. Do I have it already?

 

[romzan45]

here it is set like this. but to the mail I get only an alarm from the optical sensor. the flow sensor does not give an alarm to my email.

I'm assuming Obratk is your flow sensor?

 

[romzan45]

Yes you are right

 

[homer1475]

You do realize that the way you have that programmed, it will only send an email when it's OVER 700?

I'm also assuming your using the new apex? not the classic?

 

[romzan45]

I put a less sign, <?. I have in fact the duct now is 960. And the reaction is zero. If you know how to tell me correctly, I will be very grateful.

 

[homer1475]

The way you have it coded its a greater then sign <.

Basically with your coding this is telling your apex that if Obratk is greater then 700, then turn on the alarm. If you want it to send an alarm if it is under 700, then just reverse the < to >.

If obratk > 700 then on

Also I'm just putting this here, but you do have the outlet set to AUTO, and not ON or OFF?

 

[homer1475]

OOps sorry, just had a quick read of the programing guide. You do have the < correct.

 

[homer1475]

Reading back through, does the optical sensor also kick off the alarm if the flow slows down?

If both are met in the coding, you'll only get an email for the last line of code that set the alarm off. Basically if several conditions are met in an alarm code, then the last line in that code that triggered the alarm will be the one you get.

For instance in your coding, if both conditions are met(SENSOR is OPEN and Obratk is less then 700), since the flow sensor is the last line of code, you'll only get the email for the flow sensor not the optical sensor.

моя проблема в том, что если я отключаю «датчик» тревоги, то «обратка» начинает посылать мне сигнал тревоги, если мой поток <700.

my problem is that if I turn off the alarm "sensor", then "obratk" starts sending me an alarm if my stream is <700.

Sorry I don't know russian.

 

[romzan45]

Yes, I read it too. But there is a solution through a virtual outlet. I just don’t understand how to do it

 

[homer1475]

Even with a VO, you will still only get one email from the last statement that set the alarm off even if several statements are met.

I have my apex setup on my alarm code with VO's so I know what exactly what set the alarm off instead of a general alarm.

 

[homer1475]

VO's are simple. You just create a virtual outlet, then put your on/off statements in that, then reference the outlet instead of the sensor in the alarm code.

So for you:

Create a VO and name it Flow_Alarm. The in that VO put your coding for the sensor:
Set off
If Obratk < 700 then on

Then in your alarm code you would put this:
If Output Flow_Alarm = On Then On

 

[homer1475]

I could walk you through creating a VO, but I'm not familiar with the "NEW" apex and thier "NEW" way of doing things. I have the apex classic and can only tell you how to do it with that, and I'm not sure if any of that has changed.

 

[romzan45]

if I write set off. then my sensor turns off right away. I've already tried
