Need help programming an AFS for vacation

[Sobo's Reef]

Hey guys. Just purchased one of these bc I’m going on vacation this Saturday. I’m having trouble coding it though. I went on the neptunesystems/getting started website but it’s confusing me. It said I need to create a virtual outlet so I did and it was named Cntl_A2. However all my lines are wrong.

Let me tell ya how I want this to work so you guys have an idea.

Virtual outlet turns on for pre-feeding
Both MP40s turn off
Skimmer turns off
Return pump turns off
Feeder goes thru it’s rotation
Defer 5-10mins then everything back on

This is what the website had as an example but it’s confusing bc the lines don’t start off with the right commands.

“[v-feed]
Set OFF
If Time 12:00 To 12:01 Then ON
[skimmer]
Set ON
If Outlet v-feed = ON Then OFF Defer 15:00 Then ON
[return]
Set ON
If Outlet v-feed = ON Then OFF Defer 10:00 Then ON
[feeder_3_1]
Set OFF
If Outlet v-feed = ON Then ON Defer 1:00 Then ON”

Here are my outlet names if it’ll help ya
MP40_R_3
MP40_L_6
Skimmer_2
COR15

Thanks in advance guys!!

I just use the configuration on the AFS seen in the image.

I have this code on my gyre pumps to shut them down, the defer statement keeps the gyre pumps off for 1 minute and they turn back on.

If Output Feeder_4_1 = ON Then OFF
Defer 001:00 Then ON

So if I have Feed A already assigned to turn off both pumps, skimmer and put the return pump at 1%... how would I incorporate that with the feeder?

So I decided to just go the easiest way with coding it and just used the basic layout apex has but it’s still not working. Here’s what it looks like

2pm just passed and it never went off..

What am I doing wrong?

Do you have the slider on AUTO? I see enable, can you check your output log to see if fusion shows the AFS was triggered?

 

[Sobo's Reef]

It’s on Auto and I checked the logs and it never went off but when I hit Feed A, it works fine.

Anyone else have any ideas? I even went as far as to create a virtual outlet named Feeder and programmed it so the feeder outlet kicks off the skimmer, pump and power heads before dumping 1 rotation of food. It works when I manually hit FeedA but won’t work automatically.

Feeder Virtual Outlet
Set Off
If 12:00 to 12:04 then On
If 18:00 to 18:04 then On
If FeedA 000 Then On

Skimmer
If Outlet Feeder = On Then Off

Same code goes for the return pump and both mp40s.

Please someone try and help me. I have one day left before vacation so I need to correct this ASAP!!

Can anyone tag someone well known with Apex so they can help me? I know there’s someone named Terrance maybe? I can’t remember
