Single "save to file" for all configs

Right now the way things are setup, you have to save 9 separate files (one for each process) plus one for the system settings. I like the ability to do this, but can you also add the option to save a single file with everything?

Re: Two elements controlled with one output?

No problem with your logic - you can do it as desribed. If the SSR is rated high enough for it, you could just use a single SSR with both elements attached to it.

Option to exclude processes from Manual Mode reset

I was planning on using proc6 & proc7 for my fermentation fridge and my kegerator fridge. However, if I'm brewing and I want to use manual mode for something, it then shuts down any running processes. How about a feature where you can either select which processes manual mode should not reset or...

Re: problem Turning Alarm Off with V3.1

Wow, I thought I was going crazy with this last night. I'm new to the BCS, so I kept thinking that I was just not doing something right!!

Force Run at Powerup needs new processes added

Please add the new additional 4 processes to the "Miscellaneous System Settings" option to select them at powerup. For myself, I plan on keeping the last two processes for my fermentor and serving refrigerators, but I'm unable to select them at startup. Proc0 = MLT Heat Proc1 = HLT Heat Pr...

Re: Request for Exit Condition

BUMP!! I'd like to see the ability to start/stop other processes from within a running process. This would be a huge step forward in fully automating a system. I see the need to be able to chain a process both while leaving the current process running as well as being able to stop the current proces...

Re: Current State Properties - Outputs

I can see the logic with that. My only real issue is that you may have outputs within 0-5 plus some additional ones as part of the current state and it would be nice to see that all at a glance (without having to scroll down past the state diagram). Being able to move the state diagram down the page...

Current State Properties - Outputs

I just got my BCS-462 and I'm fiddling around with setting up the states and outputs. On the "Main Control" screen, there is a table titled "Current State Properties" with the first field titled "Outputs Asserted in this State". For one of my initial states, I set it up...

Q's on details of differences between 460/462

Based on what has been posted in the roadmap, the 462 is the same as a 460 plus a Digi16 card and 4 additional temp sensors. Does the 460 support the PWM outputs like the 462 spec lists? Can the PWM outputs also be used as simple on/off outputs? Is there anything else different between them? Faster ...
