Programming Send Error

[ca1ore]

Am attempting to modify the syntax in a virtual outlet called DOSER_LOW. Current code is:

SET OFF
If ALK Closed Then ON
If CA Closed Then ON
IF Mag Closed Then ON
Defer 005:00 Then ON

Where ALK, CA and Mag are switch names. I am trying to add a fourth switch

If IRON Closed Then ON

I keep getting a send error. Cannot work out why.

What is the displayed error?

Names of outputs and inputs are case-sensitive. For example, if the actual switch name is 'Iron', 'IRON' won't work.

It says that is expecting -, <, > or = .... ooooh, hang on a sec I think I know what the problem is .....

Figured it out. Recently added a trident. Uses the same designation for the three tests as I had been using as my float switch names. Apparently confusing the brain; curious that it didn’t register an error prior to my attempting to change the program on the outlet. I renamed them ALKAL, CALCI, and MAGNE and now the programming works as expected.

So if I understand what you did to fix it then ALK, CA, and Mag are reserved words? Wonder if the documentation reflects that. Seems like others may run into that.

It sounds like you had changed the names of the 3 Trident inputs from their default (Alkx# Cax# Mgx#, # is the Trident’s Aquabus address) to simply be Alk, Ca, and Mg. Is that right?

Yup, that’s exactly what I did - too many modules and switches LOL.
