Terry (Customer) asked a question.
I have just added an output module to a C2-01CPU with a C2-14DR I/O plugged into it. Using Setup, System Configuration is showing what looks to be correct, CPU C2-01CPU, Slot 0 C2-14DR with inputs and outputs Y001 thru Y006, I/O 1 shows
C0-08TD1 with outputs Y101 thru Y108. Using the Monitor, Status Monitor I was able to watch an input connected to a timer turn on when I connected an input I had setup just to test, the timer turned on for it’s duration, the next line with an the timer out connected to Output Y101 the timer out turned on but the Output Y101 did not. What have I missed in setting the up? Any suggestions you can give will be most helpful.
I have added Output Modules to other Click PLCs in the past but have not had this issue of not getting an output.
Thank You,
Terry Younce
When you say: " timer out turned on but the Output Y101 did not" do you mean an actual load connected to the C0-08TD1, the output indicator LED on the C0-08TD1 or the indication on screen with the status view?
If the LED is on but actual load is not I'd check the wiring, note the C0-08TD1 requires external power to C1/C2 and V+ in addition to the power for the load. If the LED is off off but the status view is on you might have a defective module, personal I'd try turning PLC off, unplugging the module, examine the connector and if it looks OK plug it back in and try again, if it still doesn't work contact customer service for a replacement. If the status monitor is not on there is some error in your code, but I don't know what, it sounds very simple, not sure what could be wrong, if this is the case you might post the code or a screen shot.
This is viewing in the Status Monitor. Where you can see each step turn "Blue" as it turns on in the PLC. I put an actual load on the PLC, a Relay Coil, but it is still not turning on, activating the relay or viewing in the Status Monitor. I also reseated the output module into it's socket in the side of the PLC..
One thing I am going to do is change the output to something other than Y101 to see if that makes any difference.
Thanks for your response
Terry.
Do you have an improperly placed Return instruction?
I can't view your screen clip, if you had attempted to send one.

I found that I was using a compare switch to feed the output, and it appears that this will not work. so I inserted a timer between the switch and the output. My output module is a Sinking module but I see I needed to connect a + Voltage line to the last terminal. With out that the lights turn on when on but you need the + wire to get the Negative output on the other pins. I already had the Neg wired to the C terminals.
Thanks for your assistance
