Driver, This is a very common setup here on the forums and in using the BCS460. The BCS460 will provide the switching to your SSR's to make your heating elements work with your HLT based off the wiring to the SSR.

HMI Image

I am not much into the advanced programming of the HMI but enjoy playing with the simple graphic side of implementation. Perhaps we can use this thread to put together some sample background graphics to share? Here's one to start. I have this background hosted on my website. Feel free to link to it ...

Re: Shrink tube type

Thanks Jon. Good advice. I have one that just slides into a compression that has cracked. I need to try your method on my fermentation probe. I use one to slide into the thermowell and had to slice it back a bit.

If you scroll through the forums, you will see some notes and code from peop...

Hops Direct

I've been keeping a close eye on the area hop farms and it's fresh hop season. If you are interested in fresh hops, hopsdirect.com now has most of their 2011 leaf hops available. This is an inexpensive way to purchase hops by the pound. I am not associated with this business but have purchased from ...

Re: RIMS tube PID settings

You need to move your Rims Tube Temperutare probe away from the element. You will not achieve accurate controls with the RIMS Tube probe within 1" of the element.

Which temperature probe is controlling the relay for the element?
