Make button send multiple phidget commands

[Solpack12326]

My setup :
Wireless vint hub , phidget SSR

My problem. i have a button ( physical - analog input ) that turns off the machine. this does not reset custom buttons to 0 !
so the machine turns off but the motors that the togglable custom buttons turn on and off are still on.

My buttons are:

Roasting drum
Cooling table
Cyclone

I am wanting to toggle / set the SSR outputs to 0 , from the off command

How im planning on fixing it , im going to add 3 commands to the off command - this will set all 3 custom buttons to off when i turn off the machine.

Im stuck a bit and unsure how to do this

[Solpack12326]

actually im just looking for the proper syntax to chain together button toggle commands

see the off command

The SSR is currently working with the toggle() function, which switches the state between on and off , i.e., off > on or on > off. However , what I need is the ability to turn it off explicitly, regardless of its current state. In other words, I want a toggle that works as: on > off or off > off. That’s why I’m looking into using the set() command instead.

Using set() would allow me to force the outputs to turn off when a specific event occurs, like pressing a physical button. With toggle(), if the output is already off and the button is pressed, it actually turns the output on , which is not what I want.

As for the application, it's for an emergency stop (E-stop) setup. When I press the E-stop button, I want the entire machine to shut down completely. Right now, Artisan does shut down correctly, but any custom buttons remain active, and the SSR stays engaged. This is what I’m trying to resolve.

Here is a picture of the artisan documentation , which states that you can use set() , but the way ive used it - shown in the above screenshots does not work.

Thank you for your feedback

Build a simple logic circuit using relays to achieve the function you need，The artisan does not have the Multi-button status synchronization display function

This is an open source project. There's also nothing stopping you to cloning the github code and make additions on your own, or to make pull requests when you have them working. What would likely be problematic is changing a product that's used for thousands of roasters worldwide to handle one strange use-case - with so few development resources in the core project, it's unlikely any effort would be spent on analysing your request because of it's unique circumstance it arises in.

Given the SSR is actually a relay, I can't actually see how building an additional circuit will assist here? But anyway, lets get to the crux.

You have the SSR working when you use a TOGGLE command. Great.
When you attemtp to to a SET with the same relay channel, this does not work as expected.

Now, given the REL1100 is a reasonably "unique" device, there's possibly not many others who have one they can test against. That's bad in that we can't independently compare reults to help clarify.

Can I ask you to simplify your tests. Create something that is obviously only exercising the TOGGLE command of one of your REL1100 channels, that also does the same using SET for ON and OFF. That way we really are only testing one portion of your whole solution, but can get to the full part only when we successfully get the test working. Can I also suggest that you monitor your SSR outputs on all channels in case theres something like the software is incorrectly talking to the N+1 or N-1 channel.

This should give us a good place where we can explore further without actually having the REL1100

Emergency stop button, controlled by relays, is the safest and most reliable.

Yes, that's essentially what the user has described. The problem is that Artisan can still communicate to the device and has the PID engaged, and the action should be possible to disable this channel on the SSR.

Yes you could have the e-stop button set up a lock-out mechanism itself such that the SSR gets depowered or something equally intrusive, and I am sure that the e-stop on a commercial roaster probably does exactly this, but if you distil the problem reported here it's quite simple. Doco says it should work in a particular way; but evidence says it does not (although we have never seen an explicit test of this, which is why I suggest we need a simple test that demonstrates this).
