First PLC project, very exciting for me. Anyways, playing with my Click and Cmore Micro and now if I hold F1 and F5 I get nothing? It seems to lock up the panel when I push F1 and F5 to get into the setup menu. None of the screen touch buttons work and the beep stops working on F1 through F5. The LED still lights on F1 through F5. Is there a way to force this panel into setup? I was thinking if you hold F3 while it boots up or something. Not sure I will give the guys over at AD a call tommorrow but I really want to play tonight. If it matters I had a very simple program in there, I had two pushbuttoms working as momentary on switches and they were activating outputs Y1 and Y2. Very new to this just tryin to figure it out. Thanks, Anthony

c-more micro
I only have twol suggestions, but I'm sure you know these already...
1) You need to have power on it (forgive me if this sounds stupid, but I had to ask)
2) You have to HOLD F1 and F5 together for several seconds.
This is about the limit of my expertise in this. If this doesn't help, someone else will need to help.

No problem, I deal with people at work all the time that screw up the easiest tasks. I had power on and held them for at least 20 seconds at one point. I was also able to put it into the setup mode several times before this happened to me.
One thing I did notice is that the last time I successfully put it in setup mode, I pushed the F1 and F5 key together and it went immediately into setup, there was no waiting.

Anthony,
I'm very new to this as well. But one of the others wrote a simple program to turn Y001, Y002, Y003 and Y004 on using two on-screen buttons and two of the function keys. Go to the thread C-more and Click and look for an attached file called trythis1.zip, it should give you something to work with.
We'll both learn together. I can already see a number of uses for this and I have gotten the buttons to work. My problem now is being able to preset counters and timers from the C-more micro and being able to read those figures and the current values on the C-more. Once I accomplish that I will have pretty much all I need to do with it (for now).

Then you may need to talk to AD. Did you try taking the power off it, then restarting? Electrical gremlins sometimes do strange things...

Yes, the instructions say 3 seconds, but after I posted the message, I tried mine and it immediately went into setup with no waiting.
