    This already exists, just create a Global as DateTime called Clock, then create a script and use the below code to populate it. [clock_run] new datetime x x = now "Clock" Value = x sleep 1000 goto clock_run Edit for clarity - more info regarding the 'now' variable on pg. 84 in the 1.2 Manual...

    Contact BrunDog for a license release. I run BC as a VM on a ESXi server, works fine.

    There is a folder called BruControl that is created inside of the Documents folder of the user account that installed BC. Simply copy that folder to external storage on occasion and you will be able to restore your config.

    1) 4-20 is more robust since EMI via voltage induction does not affect current measurement the same way, so you should be fine. 2) Yes it will be fine. 3) Yes you can splice them, it's done routinely in industry when loop powering devices so no worries there either. Cheers, Joe

    In industry, running various voltages side by side is common, just not in the same conduit. 6-8" separation is pretty standard minimum.

    Hopefully you added a resistor (10k to gnd for example) in that jumper, otherwise you are creating a direct short.

    So was the hysteresis working, but not getting new targets? Did other elements on the interface show online or did they say offline like this? Just trying to understand the failure mode here. I track an interface status by looking at an individual element with the "connected" status. Seems...

    Just curious, but were you using hysteresis elements for control, or controlling via script from BC for your temp/pressure targets?

    If you are running a database for BruControl, the globals are already in that database.

    Your line 7 error is because you are looking for "state" but that is not a valid DI operator. Try "value" instead.

    I'm not familiar with the 240v heater pads, do you have a link to their spec sheet as well as the glycol pump? Mostly concerned that they will be drawing more power than the 8amp SSRs are rated for. I used 3 wire motorized valves for ease of use with SPDT relays.

    You can, but you don't have to. If you are getting EMI on your analog inputs, in some instances tying VDC - to chassis/earth/AC ground can suppress or eliminate the EMI.

    I tie all DC grounds together. In some instances you can reduce EMI by tying the DC and AC grounds together, just make sure its star pattern grounding.

    If you look in your controller log, do the drops happen at a certain time/do you see a specific pattern, or are the drops random?

    I have a thought, so what kind of router are you running and what kind of WiFi system do you run?

    Following up on the 12bit firmware for the ESP32, overall the analog functionality works great. FYI though, I (and a few others) have noticed some issues when connecting a Tilt to boards flashed with the 12 bit firmware, and is immediately resolved by flashing back to the normal firmware. The...
