Hello all, I have an application where we need to fire some outputs on 5 PLC's connected via ethernet to an 8 " C-More panel. I am going to have some C bits manually controlling the outputs, but the customer wants to be able to set a time range when the output will be activated, they are controlling door locks around the exterior of the building. I did the initial layout with DL05's as the most i/o I need in one location is 4 in and 4 out. I see the Cmore has an internal clock, but I can't figure out how to use it to control anything. Is this even possible, or would I have to use the panel to edit Vmemory locations in the PLC, and install the memory module in the base to get a real time clock? Any help would be appreciated. Jim

As a quick reply, you need to set tags in the Cmore to be transmitted back to the PLC. These can be found in the Clock setup area of the programming software.
