Programming Apex for AWC with DOS

[Jon M.]

Ok everyone, I have been googling but frankly this programming stuff is over my head. I have my FMM plugged into my Apex and my leak modules and two optical sensors plugged in. I have named the optical sensor under water (low alert) SWLOW. I named the one out of water (high level alert) SWHIGH. My DOS heads are labeled DOSNSW (new water in) and DOSOSW (old water out). I need the Apex to tell the DOS to stop all pumping if either SWHIGH or SWLOW trip from their current state to another state. The sensors are in place to keep the DOS from draining my sump or overflowing it. No clue how to do this...thanks.

Ok, go to fusion homepage where you have your new and old salt and click on the gear icon next to the slider.

It will pull up this page, at the top left, click on the icon that looks like lines in a square

Then you will go over to where you type in coding and enter the following on lines 3 and 4

If SWHIGH CLOSED Then OFF
If SWLOW CLOSED Then OFF

You will need to then upload this to the apex and do it for both the new water and old water.

Hope this helps. Your names will be a bit different than mine since these are screenshots from my fusion page.

Ok so in that spot my DOS currently has "If Output H2O_CONTROL = OFF Then OFF" in that area. Do I need to keep this and what is the "tdata" in your screenshot? Also why does yours have "TBL" in blue next to the DOS names?

This was all automatically populated when I configured my DOS via the tasks function. There are many ways to set up the AWC. The TBL is just data points graphed out via the wizard function. tdata is the plotted points from the wizard. Basically the wizard lets you build commands on a visual graph, then takes those data points and makes them code.

I would just add those lines of code to the next set of lines open in the coding area. If you want to have the graph like mine, you can configure your AWC through the tasks function. There are many ways to skin this cat.

Thanks but with those two lines of code the pump will be off no matter what since the low should be closed. Shouldn’t each contain and open and closed caveat?

I have this for the OSW:
If Output H2O_CONTROL = OFF Then OFF
If SWLOW OPEN Then OFF
If SWHIGH CLOSED Then OFF

I have this for the NSW:
If Output H2O_CONTROL = OFF Then OFF
If SWHIGH CLOSED Then OFF
If SWLOW OPEN Then OFF
