Display PLC current time and date on LCD420
« on: March 17, 2009, 07:36:09 PM »
Very new to TRI.  The ladder portion is easy enough.   The TBasic is new to me.  I can program all 4 lines to say "start", "stop" etc. associated with input or output change of state.  I can't figure out how to display time and date when the plc is in idle.  I feel I am missing something obvious......
Any help would be appreciated,   Dave

You can refer to the sample program "clock.pc6" inside the "\TRiLOGI\TL6\usr\samples" folder which does exactly that.

There are many more examples in the samples folder which you can try with your new PLC. Have fun!
