I have a gas valve with a standing pilot light that I want to control with the BCS 462.
Right now, we control the Temperature manually in out HLT. I want to be able to set a temperature and have that temperature held. I am not sure which "flavor" of Out control to use but it seems that Hysteresis Controlled is the way to go for propane.
Any Propane brewers out there using the BCS?
On the Other Hand, what about fermentation? Hysteresis Controlled or PID?
Also what Hysteresis do you use? 2 degrees?
I have read the Wiki until the letters melted on the screen, and it is of little help. I do not want to become a PLC brain, I just want to make the BCS my assistant.
I am looking for what works.
