Re: Having trouble connecting through the router

Having trouble connecting through the router

I have a bcs 462 and have been using it directly connected to one of my old computers for a while. I got a long cat 6 cable to connect it to my router now. I turned off bcs then connected to the apple router. When I search for it with the bcs finder it doesn’t find anything. I have manually typed in...

How Long can the wire run be?

Will a long wire run to the temp probes throw the reading off by much? I am running 75-100 feet of cat 5 from the bcs to 3 probes. is this going to throw my temps off by much?

Winery

I got the bcs 460 originally for my brewing hobby, but recently purchased the new 462 for our winery.

When we first started i had someone wire up all the tanks and plumb t...

Re: Valves?

I will be using them for fluid. I was thinking of controlling the transfer from both my fly sparge and the transfer to the bk. I was thinking two for each step, so a total of four. I just built a float switch that will control a pump, so I can get rid of one of the pump outputs. So I should probably...

Valves?

So far i will be controlling 2 pumps and 2 heaters with my controller, I want to control some solenoid valves. Does that mean i can only control 2 solenoid valves? What would i use the 4 Discrete Inputs for?

Re: Newbies guide to mash (very basic)

Sounds just about what i have set up, but i cant get mine to work. It will run through the first state and then alarm, and stop. It never moves to the next state, and i cant even make it go to the next state. On my 3rd or 4th state when i mash out i set my temp to PWM at 25% This picks up heat when ...
