Input and Feed events logged?

[jrpark22000]

I don’t believe so, but are BoB Input and Feed changes logged. If so, where are they viewable? How about realtime in telnet?

I’ve had one of my virtual outlets trip twice in the last day an I’m curious as to why. The outletlog.xml shows no other outlets changed during the times in question leaving SW6_1 as a trigger for an unknown reason. I’m looking to see if it was a snail type event or caused by a flapping/bad float or wiring.

Only outlets are logged but you can work around that. Create a virtual outlet for your switch. Then it's logged. For example:

[virtual outlet Low_Float]
Set OFF
If Switchx6_1 OPEN Then ON

Now, Low_Float will be logged which is just your Switchx6

You'd have to use additional VOs to make those events get logged.

[RetChmbrSwitch]
Set OFF
If Switchx6_1 OPEN Then ON

[Feed_Active]
Set OFF
If FeedA 000 Then ON
If FeedB 000 Then ON
If FeedC 000 Then ON
If FeedD 000 Then ON

(or break the FeedA - FeedD up into separate VOs)

I need more coffee - I'm slow this morning :)

Thanks for the help Guys.

No, the only thing that is logged are the probes and outlets. So, by using a VO, you are accomplishing the same thing. Feed cycles are only manual, so that leaves just the Switch in your VO to trigger it. If snails are a possibility then, that is the likely cause. You could increase the Defer time, but there is a downside in an excessive delay. One solution that I use, is to include the high level float in the logic. A true low sump condition would require both floats to be down.


Get distracted for a bit and both Alan and Russ beat me to it. :)

It's Friday, sleep in a little. I'm enjoying the slow morning.

LOL. This cracks me up!

We need to have a system - Russ gets even numbered threads on even numbered days, Todd get's odd on odd days but every third week it's reversed. I'll take threads that are a prime number unless it's a leap year.

My snails breed like rabbits and the little ones wreak havoc with floats but not usually this one. I’ve recently had water seep past the silicone on some of my rj45 crimps for my floats, so I’m not sure the cause. I’ll built the VO and track it’s status.

This float only prevents my skimmer pump from running dry in the remote chance the overflows add less to the first sump chamber than the skimmer wants. Usually it’s triggered when I shut the return pump off, which kills the skimmer anyway. I’m more curious to see if my connector is failing than anything else.

How about an ACD system, we can get you logged into a nice queue for even distribution of threads. :lmao:

ARGH! NOOOO! That would make it feel like I'm at work! :eek2:

How about a tablet or ipad and on-call rotation instead?

Try to explain to the family on holidays why you have to step away from the dinner table... "Some guy has a fish tank problem" :lol2:

Alan, Russ, and Todd; You guys are great. All the help you give here is astounding. The hundreds of threads I’ve read where one or of all 3 of you chime in to help. Simply amazing.

"Some guy has a fish tank problem" :lol2:LOL... that would *really* be pushing it... my wife already puts up with me (quite graciously) on a regular basis saying things like "Let's watch that new DVD tomorrow... I'm helping some guy on RC with his router tonight".
