I got the new BCS-482, built my processes, and am trying to set it up with the recipe utility. When I go to create a variable, the temperature set points don't show up in the dropdown. Any idea what's going on here?

Brewers Hardware offered to take a look at it and it was completely shot. I need a fix ASAP, the brewery is down to 1 fermenter on a johnson temp controller ha. Any chance to you have a stray 462 (or 460 for that matter) laying around that we could buy off you? We don't have time to wait for the new...

I think we were just pulling too much power through the relay without proper cooling. The whole thing melted, burned a hole in the enclosure, and tripped the breaker. The relay was in a separate box, so no physical damage to the BCS, but I'm guessing some AC went through the i/o lines to the BCS and...

Emailed this to the support email, and was redirected here: Hi, Last night I had a relay burn out and now the BCS-462 won't start. No lights or anything on the box itself. I assume this means it's dead. I was going to buy a new one, but I don't see them on Brewers Hardware or Electric Brewing Supply...

What are the options for logging temperature to a file? I would like to track fermentation mash and temperatures so that I can save them with my batch notes. Here are my goals: -Start logging when I hit a certain step in a process -Record the temperature and setpoint of multiple probes, as well as t...

Ah yes, disconnecting the green terminals would have made that easy. Oh well, next time...

Oh DHCP reservation is a good idea. It would have been nice to unplug the BCS and plug it straight into the main router, but I would have had to unwire all 30 or so inputs and outputs and i was worried about getting it all back together right, so i tried to troubleshoot in place. I was eventually ab...

I just tried to update my BCS to 4.0 and now I can't see it with the BCS finder. I waited half an hour and tried powering it off and on again, then tried doing a hard reset (each of the 15, 25, and 35 sec versions) but I still can't connect. Seems my BCS has gone to a nether world of the force. Any ...
