I am new to the operator interface end of PLC programming. I really need help with a simple project. I need to be able to turn on and off eight DL/06 outputs with c-more. But I need to be able to set an on and off time and the day of the week for each. Could someone send me an example program, or at least some pointers. Thanks

You don't really need a C-More to do this. The DL06 has a real-time clock so you could use V7771 (day of week) V7770 (hours on clock) V7767 (minutes on clock) to trigger different events in your ladder code. That's all you need.
However, if you want the C-More to toggle the outputs, clear your ladder and in the C-More programming software go to Database - Event Manager Database - Add... Select Event Type = Day & Time and set the day and time you wish. Then in Action press Add Action... select a Tag command and select which tag to turn on and off. Define a new event for each turning on or off.

Thank you for the info. We want to be able to change the on and off time individually for each output. There will be different on/off times for different days of the week. That is the reason for the c-more. I have been trying to figure out this software to accomplish this.

You can set internal tags in the display for the operator input, then set your events based on a peticular value of that "internal " vmem.
It's easier to set this up in the plc and accomplish the same task.
