FLOW MAX
FLOW MAX is software that allows the DXi to intelligently share resources and
manage operations for satellites using a single point of connection. The shared
resources may include common pumps, master valves, and/or flow meters.
A FLOW MAX system is comprised of a number of DXi controllers (typically 3 to
5) with the first controller set up as the submaster. The remaining satellites are set up
as slaves.
FLOW MAX provides a means to detect station flow limits and main line breaks
within design and programming parameters. All controllers participating within
a FLOW MAX system must be programmed as participants from each of their
respective control panels.
In order for flow volumetric totals to be tracked/logged at the controller and in
Laguna central software, the selection must be made under "Devices connected to
this Clock" for the flow sensor point of connection.
Please see Appendix D: Setting Up a FLOW MAX System for a complete
explanation on FLOW MAX and setting up a FLOW MAX system.
Station Count
It is required to manually change the station count. The station count variable dictates
how many stations participate in the Learn Current/Flow events. If the wrong
number of stations are entered, the Learn Current and Learn Flow events do not
operate correctly. If the station count is set higher than the number of local stations
actually connected, the balance will be addressed as 2-wire stations.
