I'm using a C-more for the first time and I can't figure out the LED lights. I want to use the F keys as toggle switches and have the LED stay on when the F key turns a bit on. I 've searched the forum and found where someone suggested using the alarm setup to flash the led. That will work but I would like the led's to be steady on. Thanks

Add a Function object to the screen. You can place it anywhere on the screen or in the gray area.
Click on the LED tab. Select the LED Control to be 'by PLC ' for each light that you want the PLC to control. Give the LED control a tag name pointing to an unused word register in the PLC.
If your PLC supports bit of word addressing, you can use this to turn the appropriate bit in the word on or off to cause the LED to function.
If your PLC does not support bit of word, you may have to unpack the bits into other registers or move the word to registers that are accessible as bits.
