+mcallahan Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I've got my dosing pumps in and would like to rename some outlets and everytime I rename FN2$ to DP1$ and assign FN2$ to another outlet and hit "update" on the Program Editor screen, the change holds. Then I go back to the Status screen and the DP1 gets renamed to FN2. I've also tried adding a line of code for DP1 thinking the ACIII won't take a new outline name unless there is a line of code for it and I get the same results - DP1 gets changed back to FN2 when I go back to the status page. Anyone got any thoughts on why it won't take the changes? Here is my outlets and program ML1$-A01 ML2$-A02 FN1$-A03 ACT$-A04 HT1%-A05 PM1%-A06 FN2$-A07 (CHANGE THIS ONE to DP1$) FL1$-A08 PM2%-B01 PM3%-B02 PM4%-B03 RN1%-B04 FN3%-B05 PM5%-B06 MO1%-B07 WB1%-B08 If Time > 09:30 Then ACT ON If Time > 21:30 Then ACT OFF If Time > 21:29 Then MO1 ON If Time > 23:45 Then MO1 OFF If Time > 13:30 Then ML1 ON If Time > 18:30 Then ML1 OFF If Time > 13:45 Then ML2 ON If Time > 18:45 Then ML2 OFF If Timer ML1 = ON Then FN1 ON If Timer ML2 = OFF Then FN1 OFF If Time > 18:00 Then FL1 ON If Time > 09:30 Then FL1 OFF If Temp > 77.6 Then FN2 ON If Temp = 77.5 Then FN2 OFF If Temp < 77.5 Then FN2 OFF If Temp > 79.0 Then ML1 OFF If Temp > 79.0 Then ML2 OFF If Temp < 77.3 Then HT1 ON If Temp = 77.3 Then HT1 ON If Temp > 77.3 Then HT1 OFF If Time > 06:00 Then PM2 ON If Time > 23:00 Then PM2 OFF If Time > 00:00 Then PM3 ON If Time > 00:00 Then PM4 ON If Time > 00:00 Then WB1 ON If Time > 01:00 Then PM1 ON If Time > 01:03 Then PM1 OFF If Time > 01:00 Then PM5 ON If Time > 01:03 Then PM5 OFF If Timer FN2 = ON Then PM4 ON If Timer FN2 = OFF Then PM4 OFF If Time > 00:00 Then RN1 ON If Time > 00:00 Then PM3 ON If FeedA 000 Then PM1 OFF If FeedA 000 Then PM2 OFF If FeedA 000 Then PM3 OFF If FeedA 000 Then PM5 OFF If FeedA 000 Then RN1 OFF If FeedA 000 Then WB1 OFF If FeedB 000 Then RN1 OFF If FeedB 000 Then PM1 OFF If FeedB 000 Then PM2 ON If FeedB 000 Then PM3 ON If FeedB 000 Then WB1 OFF If FeedC 000 Then RN1 OFF If FeedC 000 Then PM1 OFF If FeedC 000 Then PM2 OFF If FeedC 000 Then PM3 OFF If FeedC 000 Then PM5 OFF If FeedC 000 Then WB1 OFF If FeedC 000 Then HT1 OFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfowler99 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Have you tried separating the actions? Assign FN2$ to another outlet, hit update, and then add DP1$ and hit update again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisfowler99 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 If you just remove FN2$ and update, will it stay gone? I'm just noticing that everything seems to be assigned. Maybe it's panicking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dapettit Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Give this a try: Make the changes hit update then cycle off the ACIII. Save your setting first. Also are you setting this up on your first DC8 or second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshman1204 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 can you move the outlet on the same DC8 without going to another one? Also could you just clear it all and reprogram the whole thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddybluewater Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 What about leaving the name the same and just changing the function. Instead of coming on with a temp have work with a time? I don't work with computers, but I have a hammer that might stop it from doing what ever it is that's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
