I have a COR 20 pump that's been working well for me. I have it calibrated so a flow rate of '1' is just enough to pump a trickle of water. Currently, my Apex FeedC mode turns the pump off completely for 30 minutes.

What I want to do is have it turn the pump off for 30 minutes, then come back on at a rate of 1 for five or ten minutes to fill the display without splashing.

Currently I have a virtual outlet, vFeedC programmed as such:
Set OFF
If FeedC 000 Then ON
Defer 030:00 Then ON

In the pump code I have:
If FeedC 000 Then 0
If Output vFeedC = ON Then 1

Is there an easier way of accomplishing this? Would it work to have
If FeedC 005 then 1
If FeedC 000 then 0

in the COR20 programming and then skip the virtual output?
 
Yes, you can have overlapping Feed delays to achieve this. Since the Apex applies the last line that's True, your code will first apply the 0 speed, then once the FeedC timer expires, it will apply the 1 speed since that line is still True for an additional 5 minutes.

Just set FeedC to 1800 seconds (30 minutes) on the Misc Setup screen and then place this code in the Advanced tab of your COR:

If FeedC 005 then 1
If FeedC 000 then 0
 
Thanks - that did it. I thought I had tried it earlier without success but I think I may have switched the order.
 

IF YOU HAD TO TAKE A REEFING EXAM, WOULD YOU PASS?
