Re: BCS-462 not connecting to network

In case it matters, my BCS-462 has 6 temperature probes and 8 outputs. Window 1 = 2 temp probes and 2 outputs Window 2 = 2 temp probes and 2 outputs Window 3 = 1 temp probe and 1 output Window 4 = 1 temp probe and 1 output I tried running 4 dynamic data loggers on a BCS-460 simultaneously, all with ...

Re: BCS-462 not connecting to network

I just recently started having a an issue that shows the same symptoms. I would also get connection drops after a few hours on my latest fermentation. Once the BCS dropped the connection it could not be re-established without a power cycle. I could ping the BCS at the same static IP I usually use wi...

Re: Process State 0 Timer - Continue

I like this. Will try it tonight. Thanks.

Re: Process State 0 Timer - Continue

Let me describe a bit more. Here is my fermentation setup: State 0 = Starter. Exit condition is Win 0 = On, which proceeds to state 1 to start fermentation. State 1 = Fermentation Hold Temp. Launches a state 2-6 when needed to heat or cool. State 2-6 = Cool or Heat freezer air based upon wort temp. ...

Conical Fermentation Chamber - BCS Control

Just finished my first beers in new conical fermentors and fermentation chambers with BCS462 control. Details of the setup have a lot of pictures so I put them in a google document instead: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B9mKEEzl9Jy_MDEwMTM0NDMtYWFjMS0...

Re: Process State 0 Timer - Continue

I made the programming change last night to make state 0 my yeast starter and start fermentation with step 1. State 0 also starts the counter such that my state 1 hold temperature can have the "continue from previous state" option selected. Just for people who may be curious on the functio...

Re: Process State 0 Timer - Continue

Got it, thanks. Maybe I'll turn State 0 as my Yeast starter state and to initialize as you do below. I'll edit the Wiki to show the fact that state 0 cannot continue as soon as my account is removed from "new" status. Not sure how long that takes but hopefully soon... For several of my Pro...

Process State 0 Timer - Continue

I'm having trouble with the timer for a process state = 0. It seems that the "continue from previous state" cannot be on in this state? I can select the box, but once clicking apply it is reset to off. Is this intentional? Is it possible for this functionality to be enabled? I have a ferme...

Re: Data Logger Bug and Feature Request

Thanks for the detailed explanation, this makes sense. I've been able to capture the data with the decimal place by saving from the dynamic update as suggested. Meets my needs. On a related note, I'm quite impressed with the robust data communication. I've had multiple data logger windows open from ...

Re: Data Logger Bug and Feature Request

Cool, thanks. Would like to see the stored data download without the rounding in both modes but this work around will do for now. I have done some experimentation and found if you save a Log file from BCS file logging to a csv file the data points are rounded to whole numbers but if you save Dynamic...
