High forum I have another question. I have A CO-OODR-D PLC with A CO-08NA input card hooked up right now with A CO-01AC power supply. My question is how would the inputs be identified in the input card? I did not see any thing in the help section unless i missed it. For the plc X001-X008 I have these responding in the program I am trying to complete. X009 and X010 in attached program are not responding when i go online. Should they have other addresses like X101 etc if so that did not work for me. Could it be that the input card needs to see 120 volts? Currently i am using the power supply for testing purposes. Thanks in advance PS not sure if I was supposed to add this to my original post about the click timer if so please let me know.Because that is what I am still working on this program is made with the help of the form.

I did not see any thing in the help section unless i missed it.
From the help menu "setup ", "system configuration "
Description: The System Configuration Setup dialog displays the offline or online System Configuration. and provides access to the setup dialogs for the Power Supply, CPU, and I/O Modules.

The PLC you are using has 8 inputs. These are X001 through X008. Your CO-08NA input card also has 8 inputs but they are addressed as X101 through X108. The base PLC is slot 0 hence the address of X0xx. The next slot is slot 1 and referenced as X1xx, then next is slot 2 and addressed as X2xx and so on. Change X009 to X101 and change X010 to X102. This is assuming your wired these inputs to inputs 1 and 2 on the additional input card.
I hope I am clear in my description. If I have not communicated my meaning well enough please say so and I will try again.
Edit: I took a closer look at your program and I see where X009 is used but not X010. You are using X101 and X102 so you will have to use X103 in place of X009 and X104 for X010.

I tried looking in there but I just don't see it maybe its time for some new eyes.Did this program (if you looked at it) look better then the first one in the click timer post?

This card does need to see 120 volts.Hooked up A 120 volt circuit and it activated while I was online.
A couple more cases of beer And I might just get the hang of this.
Of course with more help from here.
Again thanks for all the help

Got me kinda confused here. By power supply I guess you are meaning the DC power supply for the Click PLC. The input card receives power from the PLC when you attach it. Your PLC inputs require DC voltage but your input card inputs are looking for 120v. Don't get these mixed up -- I'm not sure what would happen if you sent 120 VAC into the PLC DC inputs.

power supply
Yes I know the C0-08NA is A 120 volt card and the plc has 24 volts as inputs I was trying to activate the inputs on the CO-08NA card with the 24v power not the other way around.
Thank you for your help.
PS is there a way to make the AF coil area smaller when programing,And does the attached program look like it would work.
I want to add bcarltons ideas into the mix once I get the basics down.

Does the program work like you want it to?
