Re: Trying to connect to BC462
If it is an older BCS, then you're probably on the 3.x firmware. You can download the old finder at the link below: http://demo.embeddedcc.com/downloads/BCSfinder.exe I would highly suggest loading the new firmware for it once you find it on your network. If you previously had the BCS on a static IP...

Re: integration with other brewing software/devices
What programs give you malware alerts? Stuff from ECC/BCS? The BCS has an open API that uses JSON data formats. It's actually pretty easy to control and/or read & write the BCS from the API. There are several programs on the forums here that folks have done. There's also the BCS backup/restore &...

Re: Power cycling
It will revert to your processes being stopped - if they were running. However, you can set processes to auto-start, in which case, it will pick up where it left off if you logic is set accordingly. I have a BCS that runs my kegerator and fermenters set this way, so it can always go back to where it...

Re: Recipe Utility
Recipe utility??? What am I missing here? The BCS recipe utility let's you quickly edit settings like temperature setpoints or timer values without having to go into each process/state that needs modification. Most users keep a consistent configuration and just modify those necessary values based o...

Re: Voltage issues
I've used several different Electronics Salon boards and they work well. They have them mounted in DIN rail brackets as well. Got mine on Ebay, but maybe their Amazon store has them as well (I didn't look).

Re: lightning strike - hardware upgrade question
Sorry to hear about the lightning. It is possible that if the ethernet cable was plugged in it could have zapped the interface. You can do a reset without taking it out of the case. Do you see flashing activity at the ethernet port? Have you used the BCS locator program to see if it is seen? There i...

Re: BCS 482 Problems
Can you clarify for me: when you say crashed, you mean you can't get to the web interface? Have you done a reset on it ? (not flashing, but holding the reset button while powering on). If the memory got corrupted, that can cause the outputs to turn on and resetting it will clear it. If you've done a...

Re: BCS-482 Fermentation Question
Of course it's still active.... Why are you doing exits to two different states for a temperature setpoint? Why not just set your setpoint with a swing value? Also, you don't need your pump on a temperature controlled output. You can either wire it to the same output as the glycol chiller if it is a...

Re: Trying to restore backup to BCS-462 and hanging
Is the backup not from this BCS? Also, you should update to the latest firmware. 4.0 is no bueno.

Re: Trying to restore backup to BCS-462 and hanging
There's two ways to set a specific address. The first (and my preferred) is to set a DHCP reservation in your router so that each time the BCS reboots (even if you do a hard reset of the config) it will always come back to the same IP address. The second way is you can set it in the BCS by going to ...
