Replacing Intellichlor IC20 with Plus40

[FlaMike]

As in the title, I am "upgrading" a failing IC20 with a Plus 40. Will Nixie control the new salt cell correctly if I select IC40 as the chlorinator? My Nixie does not have the "Plus" series as an option.

Thanks!

Pushed up some changes for this, but looks like it might just be a branding/refresh.

Thank you!  It seems to be  working as an I40 with my current Nixie firmware, but it's not clear if there is additional data available to the controller with the Plus series.  There is some additional information on the I40's LCD screen (salt concentration, water temperature, etc.), but I don't know if any is forwarded via RS485. Pentair certainly *should* make it compatible with existing controllers (well, not really, it *is* Pentair, after all).  I think they'd have a huge number of angry customers if they had to replace their controllers due to a change in salt cells.  As a 'typical' pool owner with a branded controller, if I was forced to buy a new controller because of a salt cell redesign, I'd look at other vendors for everything (pricey, for certain, but angry I'd be!).
