Thanks JonW and Oakbarn! Of course I didn't deal with this right away and am just getting around to implementing your solutions now that stuff has gotten turned off on accident a second time :/. I don't have any DINs set up on my system so I think I am going to go with JonW exit state set-up, but I ...

Hi folks, So we are a commercial brewery using BCS solely for temperature sensing and control of electronic ball valves on our glycol system. As such, we don't really have much programming going on. Just a single process called "temp control" and a single state called "temp set points...

Is this the type of terminal block I would want to use perhaps? I definitely have some space limitations in my box so this would be good if appropriate.

Thanks for your response JonW. Still confused a bit, so let me ask for some clarification. No, you need to tie the 12V power supply (-) terminal to the BCS (-) terminal. You then also need to tie the BCS (-) terminal to your AC ground (G). What exactly do you mean by the (-) terminal on the BCS? One...

Okay, putting one of my control boxes together finally for a glycol control system, and realizing that I think I misread some of your previous answers. This box will house 2 BCS units with the full complement of 8 temp probes each. I am using this relay board: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M1I...

Thanks for your response Jon. That makes some sense. Since you say the following: Thus, the power supply and associated circuitry could have an influence on the output. would that mean that I not only need to make sure that the probes are always associated with the same BCS board once I do the calib...

Hi Folks, So I have been scratching my head for about an hour over this one. Firstly, I see lots of talk on here about temp probe calibration being a part of bcs 4.0 utilities, but I don't see it when I go to the page. Do you have to be currently connected to the BCS to see it? Right now as I test t...

Yeah I am planning on doing individual runs of 22 AWG twisted pair for the sensors.

Or this one, which also stays under 100 W and would actually get to me on time!

So despite my best efforts to search and read any and all related posts so as to sound less like an idiot, I still have some very rudimentary questions about how different parts of the BCS controlled system are powered. I am about to order the last bits of equipment and I need to get this thing up a...
