Recently received my BCS controller and I had a question. Is it possible to loop a state to keep it in a holding pattern then utilize a second exit condition to move to the next state? See Image.

Hi,

Re: Programming
Yes, definitely.. But you don't need a loop to achieve the desired functionality. I think what you want to do is stay in the Hold 168 state until the user input, no need for the feedback. Just get rid of the first exit condition.
Since you are asserting PID control at 168, the BCS will maintain the temp automatically while in tha state.

It's simple to do as ECC stated.. I use something very similar during my mash. I simply hold Mash Temperature until the timer reaches 60 minutes. One exit condition based on the timer reaching 60 minutes.
