PL Question.

chefjpaul · Apr 1, 2018

I have a PL question regarding leak detection.

I have 4 float sensors.
#3 ATO through dosing pump channel 8

#2 & #4 min / max - ATO resivoir refill.
(Main resivoir is in another room).

#1 leak detection /
high shut off if tank is going to over flow.

-this is working perfectly for everything except to get the other floats #3 & #2 & #4 to shut off the pumps When float #1 is triggered.

Cant figure out a program that works.

Just being cautious after having a major flood and if another float, say the ato gets stuck on.

Thanks

Do you have this setup through programmable logic? Probably the best way to do it, but I'm not versed enough to run through this setup.

@JoshH thank you for the tag.

I do not have my leak detectors here yet but believe we can easily do this through the programming logic.

Is fill water 1 your leak detractors on your outlet above?

Sorry, not a leak detector, but the float leak detection function.

@chefjpaul - I PM you I want to make sure I have the details right, before posting a possible solution

Thanks for the PM,

My other P4 is not here till Thursday with some more sensors, so instead of waiting for it lets try this: (I have never used the Fill Water)

Open up GCC
Lets Program the Advance Logic First
Click on Programmable Logic ## (For my Example I choose 24)
In the First Line Input 1 Fill Water 1
In the Second Line Fill Water (ATO Only) 3
Function AND (Fill Water 1 is always On, which would be bad for your outlet, dump all that water heheh, couple with the Fill Water ATO only 3 it should only turn on if Sensor 3 is also activated).

click OK
Save Changes

Now Assign the Program Logic onto the S8
Click on System
Expand Switch Channels and Outlets
Click on Outlet S8
Change the Funciton to Programable Logic and the ## (For my Example since I used Programmabel Logic 24 in the previous step it is 24 here)

Click OK
Save Changes

Tell me if this works

You are the best!!!

Since I had to re work the system, I deleted all my PL programs. Stupid me was not changing the switch channel function to PL function (naming).

Here is the float sensor that will shut down the whole system if this AIO tank should over fill, asnd kill the ato.

Just a tid bit about how well this system works, when my tank flooded I had over 200 alarms sent to me, left work to check, great thing as it could have been much worse.
