I am writing a manual mode to a program I am trying to do using a sub routine.I have inputs turning on the outputs in the main program when in auto mode and I want to have buttons on a Cmore panel turn on the same outputs in manual mode.Is there any problem with trying to do it this way. I do get the warnings but no errors when doing the program check. Any thoughts?

A better way would be to end each of you current rungs with a unique C bit.
In the Auto section you would have a rung ending in Widget_On_Auto
In your manual section have the equivalent rung ending in Widget_On_Manual
Then finally have a section where the outputs are actually controlled. It would have a rung with
Widget_On_Auto
in parallel with
Widget_On_Manual --- leading to the real output Y_Something - Widget On
There is another method called OROUT available on some CPUs but I find it to be more confusing than helpful.

I did an app where you would put the system in auto mode vs. manual mode. The manual mode bits were controlled by the HMI. However, we did not want the HMI to be able to manipulate the actual output when in Auto mode. The logic for many of the "turn something on " looked like
ManualOnA AutoMode A

bcarlton
This is the start of a rough draft I have.
I am not sure I understand you correctly
Could you add what you are saying at the end of what I have?
Thanks
