Sensor Parameters and Actions

[Rob F]

I've been working on a layout for changing the actions for different sensors. This is what I've come up with so far, does it make sense?

Comments and suggestions needed...

First you select the sensor you want to edit


Next select the parameter to view, you can set up to 4 different parameters for each sensor. Parameter 1 and 2 is set off by anything lower than the setting, Parameter 3 and 4 is set off by anything higher than the setting.


Now adjust the parameter you selected, this is when the actions selected in the next page go off.


Next select the actions that should be taken when the parameter is meet. In this example when the ORP hits 7.05 or higher the heater (outlet 2) will turn on and the skimmer (outlet 9) will turn off. We have the "override Schedule" selected so the outlets will change no matter what the daily schedule says. The outlets stay in this state until a schedule is triggered or another event takes place from another sensor or parameter. If a schedule comes along for the skimmer but we are still above the parameter 3 level the controller will bypass the schedule as selected. If you press the "Resume" button on the home page this action is undone and the controller goes to the regular schedule. If the ORP is above the trigger level after pressing resume the event will run again.

Dosing Pump 3 will also be set off when the ORP goes above 7.05 and a regular dose will be released into the aquarium. The dose will only happen once  dosing pump won't go off again for 24 hours or a regular dosing schedule comes along. If parameter 3 level stays above 7.05 for more than 24 hours the dosing pump will go off again once 24 hours is reached.



After clicking "Save" it goes back to the first image and you repeat for each event.

Port 6, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 can be any analog/digital sensor and can be used with mechanical float switches to control relays, dosing pumps or water pumps.

It means that we could control CO2 with pH sensor?

[Rob F]

Yes if you can control the CO2 using an AC outlet?

Hi Rob, 
Yes, with AC outlet.

[Rob F]

Great, it will work then.

control the CO2 and ORP using an AC Outlet

Please explain

Hi Rob,

looks good.
With the ports 10-14, is it possible to control a automatic waterchange .
A second salinity-probe-port will be nice for it.

Ok. Sorry. I missunderstood your post.

I'm talking about a complete automated water change tank for saltwater.
With a tank for new saltwater.
First get freshwater by Magnetic Valve. (second ATO-port?)
To put the salt with a conveyor screw i need a second probe in this tank.
It should be start up by a Schedule.

wow that looks great and looks like a lot of work that is going to be a big update when you get it finished.

I did some googling, looks complicated, I'll have to put it on the back burner for now, not sure if I'll do anything with it.

You'll be able to do an automated water change on top of the ATO however I'm not sure about the Magnetic Value or conveyor screw. 

Technically you can run as many Atlas circuits as you want, so you can have many salinity probes. It wouldn't be much to add the extra code for it however it would be a lot to add extra action parameters for additional ones. You might be able to have actions carried out from only one salinity probe though.

wow that looks great and looks like a lot of work that is going to be a big update when you get it finished.

Thanks, yup will be a lot of work, hope I know what I'm getting myself into. :)
