ECC Forum

ECC. The BCS works great on a short term basis like a brew session that a couple hours long, but longer term processes like lager temp control where things happen over 4-6 weeks, power failures become a real problem. There is the ability to have a process start up on power up, but I need a way to sa...

no ideas? Must be summer brew hiatus...

My BCS screens have started "flickering" for lack of a better word. It looks like the computer is redrawing the screen from top left to bottom right. It only affects the Run/Stop Process bar on the far left and the Input and Output display blocks at the bottom. Everything else displays ste...

Thanks for the clarification...

I jumpered all 3 to the AC ground and the problem has stopped...who knew? Is it possible that having two grounded as opposed to one or all three created a ground loop?

Currious...maybe ECC can answer...

Why 3 separate GND pins? Are they connected (common ground) or are they separate and if so why?

Yes, I had only two connected. I just reran a ground from the AC ground bus to all three GND pins, running a test now...seems to have addressed it.

I'll have to do a brew session to confirm, I've thought I've solved this before...

I have a BCS-462...there are 3 separate GND pins, I have only the 2 of the three grounded. Do I need to ground all three as I'm not using all the Temp inputs and didn't ground the ones associated with the unused temp inputs.

I have multiple ECC tempo probes installed. They are calibrated and work most of the time, but every so often, the temp reading go haywire. I usually push gently on the probe where the wire exits the SS probe and they settle down again nicely. It looks like EMI to me but have not been able to link i...

bbrally.

Thank You Thank You Thank You.

That is beautiful and has made my life much easier. I can now calibrate to a "known" value I measure with a lab grade thermometer and everything looks really nice.

You Da Man!!!
