Pseudo Code To Convert To Apex Program - A Technical Challenge :)

[Ben Pedersen]

I have written some Pseudo code and would like to convert it to Apex. Please take a look and let me know how. I have included a picture to help.

Pseudo Code:

# System Variable(s)
Variable System-Time

# Sensor Variable(s)
Variable Sensor-ATO-AWC-Level-Normal
Variable Sensor-ATO-AWC-Level-High
Variable Sensor-ATO-Reservoir-Level
Variable Sensor-AWC-Reservoir-Level
Variable Sensor-AWC-Remove-Level-Normal
Variable Sensor-AWC-Remove-Level-Low

# Pump Variable(s)
Variable Pump-ATO-Add
Variable Pump-AWC-Add
Variable Pump-AWC-Remove

# Switch Variable(s)
Variable Switch-ATO-Process
Variable Switch-Reset-ATO-Process
Variable Switch-AWC-Process
Variable Switch-AWC-Remove-Process
Variable Switch-AWC-Add-Process
Variable Switch-Reset-AWC-Process
Variable Switch-Force-AWC-Process

I have done this on the Hydros but not Apex. The only difference I see in how I do it is I do not use a lower AWC normal sensor. I run the drain pump for 11 minutes. I use dosing pumps for the Drain, Fill and ATO. The system will disable the ATO and start the drain pump and it runs for 11 minutes. When the drain turns off the fill pump will run until the full sensor is wet. Then the ATO is enabled. That is pretty much it other than the other sensors and outputs that will stop the water change if there is an issue.

It would be better for you to word this in plain English rather than pseudo code. Its way too hard to follow as is. The apex is not capable of doing things like calling subfunctions.

Also impossible to convert this to code without knowing OPEN vs CLOSED state of switches.

Woops.... Ya.... On equals Open and Off equals closed. There is a human readable comment on each line of code. It does t help that the code lost it's formatting when displayed in the post.

Ya... APEX does not have concepts like else if or else.. nor even variable declaration and set, but was hoping someone with a technical background could translate it.

Here is one example of a drain then fill AWC I helped someone else program a while ago.

Auto Water Change help

So I am trying to set up a new auto water change system using 2 PMUP's. One to drain from the sump and the other to refill fresh SW from my SW container. I am not sure I am doing it correctly. Here is my programming: Auto Water Change virtual outlet: Fallback OFF Set OFF If DoW -----F-...

forum.neptunesystems.com

Some other things that might be helpful for someone with a technical background.

AND logic

If condition 1 Then ON
If opposite condition 2 Then OFF


Latching OFF timer
When ON > xxx:xx Then OFF


Also helps if you remember that this is a sequential scripting language and more or less forget everything you know about when, while, subfunctions, and arrays.

Just read your post on the APEX site... looks good.. I will use it. I may have a question or 2.. if you dont mind.
