Hiya, really really need help. I'm new to VHDL and am doing a project in it. What a really am stuck with is I have got to turn on valves and turn them off again under an alarm signal, they come on but I can't get them to turn off again e.g.
clk _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
alarm _____----------
inlet gate _______--------
outlet gate ________-------
air pump _________------
backwash pump__________----

What I actually want them to do is this
clk _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
alarm _____------_____________________
inlet gate ______-----------------------_________
outlet gate _______----------------------________
air pump _________------_________________
backwash pump_______________------__________

zero ___
one ---

Post your code and I will look at it?

Hiya,
Right my code is below. Basically I have to right a peice of software for a water filter. It is a large tank with and inlet_gate at one end, an outlet_gate and a dirty wash water outlet at the other end of the tank (the dirty wash water gate is not shown because I couldn't get the simple stuff to work). It has sand on the bottom to filter water, the dirty wash water and inlet gates are opposite each other, and the outlet gate is under the sand to let clean water out to drink.
The inputs are turbitidty (lumps in the water), loss_of_head (dirt in the sand), dayly (timer every 24hrs), manual (operator pushes button), clk (clock). When one of these inputs displays a fault e.g. goes to 1 then an alarm signal is raised, this then closes the inlet gate (should really go from '1' to '0' but mine goes the other way around). After a short time period e.g. 5secs the water will have drained out of the filter to a level, hence the level should go to '1', then the outlet should close. Once both gates are closed no more water can come into or leave the filter. Next an air scourer vavle would open and a pump would run for 20 secs, this is air that disturbs the sand. After this has finished a short time in left for the sand and dirt to settle, then a backwash valve and pump start, this pumps water up from underneath the filter sand to lift the dirt up into a channel which then flows out the dirty wash water gate. Once this is done it closes again after say 15 sec then the inlet gate opens and the filter fills up to its original level and continues to filter, opens the outlet.
e.g.

1. Dayly - time to wash the filter
2. Inlet closes
3.Water drains down to level
4. Outlet valve closes
5 Air valve/pump runs for 20 secs
6. Settle time of 10 secs
7. Backwash valve opens/pump runs for 10 secs
8. Dirty wash water opens for 15 secs
9. Backwash valve closes/pumps stops
9. Dirty wash water closes
12. Inlet gate opens
13. Fills to level
14. Outlet gate opens (filtering again)
15. Reset alarm and inputs

Hope this helps, sorry not very good at this, and help is much appreciated.

Hi Andy,

What you need to do is to make dayly a pulse. At present dayly is a level signal. Dayly needs to go low before alarm will go low.

Dayly _______----______________
