    Hi there!

    I have sucessfully installed Automatic Control Module.However I am not familarize with its function.What I am trying to do is to send command from the the input table in the localhost server to the Automatic Control Module stating that a new value is added in the input channel when its current value is < 10.The trigger i set in the Automatic Control Module is add channel data trigger and a command trigger under it

    The link below shows the screenshot of the settings

    Hi,
    Please provide a screenshot with the settings of the module. I can’t find it in your files.

    What I intend to do is to insert 100 values based on a time schedule trigger for one input channel.How do I do that?

    Could you clarify the task?

    Basically I would want to insert a value in each input channel through the Automatic Control module every 5 second and I have about 100 differnt values.How do i do it?

    Automatic Control Module sends commands via output channels or directly to a device.
    Do you really need to change input channels by commands?

    To send commands every 5 seconds by Automatic Control Module, you need to create a trigger fires on data change, and create an input channel that changes every 5 seconds.

    I can help you to create a formula for such channel if you need.

    If you mean to create a formula that changes the input channel every 5 second then yes.I would need some help in it. Thank you

    Add to the Formulas table:

    double Beat()
    {
      return (DateTime.Now.Seconds % 10) < 5 ? 0 : 1;
    }
    

    Then use in the channel: Beat()

    So if I would the first input channel is 1000 And the next would be 2000.Will this algorithm work? And how will the next value be inserted because in the formula it does not take the second input value.

    The Beat() function just changes a channel value every 5 seconds to be a trigger for sending commands. What value you need to insert?

    First value 1000 and the second value is 2000 and third value is 3000

    You should send the commands and apply formulas for output channels that insert necessary values.
