Re: BCS 4.0 .NET API and BCS Temperature Logger
Temps are filling in the CSV table for me. Is Address or Hostname the IP address of the BCS?

Temperature Log Data Downloading
Firmware Version 4 doesn't have the data download feature. Is there a separate application that I can download temp data with?
thanks.
thanks.

Brewer’s Hardware Thermisters
Are the thermistors from Brewer's Hardware NTC or PTC thermistors?

Re: 5 volt 4-wire PWM fan wiring
Decided not to use the BCS for fan control. I'll use a variable speed power supply to control the fans. The fan tach output will be sent to an Arduino and RPM monitored via a 16x2 LCD display.

BCS-460 Doesn't Power-up
I plugged in my BCS-460 and the unit won't power-up. No lights. I checked the wall wart power supply and it's reading around 6.2 VDC. Any suggestions?

Re: 5 volt 4-wire PWM fan wiring
ok. The fan is a 4-pin device - (ground, +12 VDC, Tach, and PWM signal). It will get power from a 12 vDC power source (the first two pins will be used)and the BCS signal will be connected to the PWM pin to control the fans using a Duty Cycle control. I tried to simulate an open BCS signal (open ende...

Re: 5 volt 4-wire PWM fan wiring
Hi Jon, I'm looking at on/off control for a percentage of time during a process step - similar to what is done in computer CPUs with PWM fans. I'd rather avoid having the fan on 100% of the time during a process step. Ideally, I'd like to do a variable speed control but I don't think it's possible t...

Re: 5 volt 4-wire PWM fan wiring
I have a +12 V DC power supply for the fan. I understand the BCS will send a +5V DC PWM control signal to the fan when the fan output is asserted. Question: When no fan output is specified for a process, will the fan go to 0% or will the fan continue to run at 100% on +12 V DC power? Do I need a DC/...

Re: Digital LCD Fan Tachometer Display
was thinking of allowing the fans to slow roll (min RPM) when not in use at 100%. I think PWM allows that if I'm understanding the concept correctly...
