Profilux 2 questions (help please)

You can plug it into S5-S8, it won't clash.

It's an analog power par so you can't set the numbering, it'll work off numbers 5-8 so make sure your digitals and dosing pumps don't use those numbers, ie set digital to start @ 11.

He has a couple of digitals and a doser so might as well utilise S1S4 save the S1-S4 sockets going to waste unless he put the doser on that.

Both ways work two stones for one bird.

Pretty sure on P2 digitals have to run off S1-4. At least that's how I remember it.

[Aqua-Digital]

as long as you have the latest software and firmware it can run off S5S8 as far as i remember (P2 already stretching the grey matter its been a while )

[Aqua-Digital]

under socket function outlet it tells you the possible numbering available. down the bottom by program power bar /doser

[Aqua-Digital]

Yes - email me if stuck. I know the P2 has a limit how high you can go I think its 18

[apexifd]

just curious, can a second P2 hook up and work as expansion box??

From manual:

The setting Use digital powerbars has only an effect on S1-S4! All other connections for
powerbars (e.g. S5 - S8) are furthermore only suited for common powerbars, these connections also
can’t be set to digital.
If the option Use digital powerbars has been activated, then with S1-S4 you can’t control a
common powerbar.
A mixed operation of digital sockets (at S1-S4) and common sockets (at the other powerbar sockets,
e.g. S5 - S8) is possible.
If the switching state or the numbering shall be set, only one single digital powerbar resp. dosing
pump unitmay be connected. If several devices would be connected during the programming, then
all would overtake the new programming!
The numbering of digital powerbars and dosing pump units is freely selectable (see Set
numbering). In contrast to that, the numbering of common powerbars is predefined by the fact at
which socket they are connected. Sockets of one powerbar connected to S5 - S8 have e.g. always
the numbering 5 to 8. Here you have to keep in mind that no double assignment of numbers occurs!
The set numbering and output states are permanently stored in the digital powerbar and so are also
kept when it is not connected to the power supply voltage.

I know cause I had the exact same setup, 2 digitals, 1 doser & 1 analog. All on a P2, you just have to set digital numbering to start at 9 or higher, I used 11 for simplicity. Numbers 1-4 can't be used.

So if I read that right my best option would be to plug it in S5-S8 and reprogram my current power bars and dosers to avoid sockets s5-s8.
