Hi all... Trying to find the right code (if its even possible) to switch my MP40's to a specific flow type, eg. Constant for a period of time when a feed cycle is triggered, haven't found a definitive answer by searching here or Google as yet. For my COR return, I have something like If FeedC 000 Then 10 to set it to 10% whilst the feed cycle is active. Trying to find if its possible to achieve something on my MP40's like:
If FeedC 000 Then CONSTANT 10.
Many Thanks for any and all advice.

Yes you can do this. Create a Profile for that Vortech mode for Example "VortechFeed".
In that Profile configure it to Constant and 10.

Then in the Configuration for your Vortechs:

If FeedA 000 Then VortechFeed

Just in case you don’t know how to create a profile I added some pictures

Exactly as I have mine.

Virtual outlet triggered by a feed mode. Mine turns my MP10's off for 5 minutes, then kicks them into nutrient mode for 10 minutes after feed mode is finished.

Not exactly.

I use a VO (called export) and in that code I just stipulate whether that outlet is on or off based on feed mode.

If feeda 005 then on (the 005 leave the outlet on for 5 minutes after the feed mode ends)

Then in my vortech programming I refrence the VO.

If output export = on then on

OK so if I want a pump profile to start 5 minutes after feed starts and run for 10 minutes, then switch back to the Vortech schedule. Don't think I'm using Min Time right for this!

If Output vFeed = ON Then VortechExp
Min Time 010:00 Then OFF
