DIN Enable CheckBox

Maybe a UI "fix" in the future: The DIN Enable CheckBox if unchecked will still allow a DIN to be selected from a list in the DropDown ListBox. This is true for: 1. Edit Processes => State Exit Conditions 2. Ladder Logic The DIN if unchecked will not function if it is selected. One needs t...

Re: Discrete Input

So basically a DIN can be thought of as a switch. The wire comes off the 5 dc terminal through a switch to the DIN on the BCS. A physical “maintained action” switch would continue to assert a DIN as long as it was “maintained”. A physical “momentary action” switch would assert the DIN as long as it ...

Re: Temp Average

Some “facts” about Temperature Averaging 1. You set these under System Settings => [-] Miscellaneous System Settings. In this case I have selected Temp 0 and Temp 1 to be averaged. 2. Temp Average is simply (Temp 0 + Temp 1) divided by 2. Example: Temp 0 = 152 Temp 1 = 156 (152+156)/2 = 154 3. Temp ...

Re: Discrete Input

I have not been able to find out what "one shot" does or how it might be used. Will it be available in 4.0?

Re: Shopping lists

Do NOT buy an ABS enclosure and hope that the M12 panel mounts or the Panel mounts at OCCS will fit. The material is too thick! :oops:

Re: BCS Finder Utility

The only thing I did was update to firmware 3.7.1 from 3.7.0. I made no network changes or router changes that I know of. I did break out another router and set a local network up and the Finder works. I must have Germlins.

Re: BCS Finder Utility

Since updating I have tried with several computers to use the BCS finder without success. They all connect without any issues. Does not mater if a Static IP is assigned or using DHCP.

The BCS is connected to the router and the computers are wifi to the router.

Re: bcs usage clarification

I see that you can change the temp associated with a PID Out under
[-]PID and Hysteresis Output Control Settings. I can see that it would be much easier to treat them as "fixed".

Re: bcs usage clarification

It also appears that you must use Temp 0 with Out 0 and Temp 1 with Out 1 and so on in a process. Is this statement true? You may not use any Temp Probe with Out 0 in a Process using control (PID, and so on) except Temp Probe 0. I was trying to create a Process and had already labeled all my outs an...

Re: BCS Finder Utility

Ethernet Cable directly plugged in to the router. It worked fine until I did the firmware update. I had had it connected with a wireless bridge before but that also got funky after I upgraded the firmware to 3.7.1 I did the connection with a 50' standard Cat5 cable and got rid of the wireless bridge...
