Hi
I work on differing control systems for people, and came across this system.
It seemed robust, intuitive and easy to work with, but the customer expressed frustration with not having a realtime clock on board.
Rather than find out the definitive need of the customer, I opted to research the possibility first.
Does the BCS system have such a capability?
Thanks in advance!

The BCS does not utilize a real time clock. Brewing processes are not scheduled based off time of day, but rather based off running timers or on-demand start/stop. If you wanted, you could set a timer to perform a delayed start of a process to coincide with a certain time of day, but it isn't programmable based on a specific time. It would be possible to use an external time clock that could trigger an input on the BCS to also start processes.

Thanks Jon
Very good update on the controller capabilities, that gives me much to take back to the customer:)
Thanks again very much!
