Hello, I wish to send myself an email at 9am every morning (daily) just verifying that the system here is 'ok'. Ie basically setting up a daily check. Is there a way to program using IEC developer and ladder logic to set a bit at a certain time of the day (say 9am) which I can then use for a daily alarm for the status of the system. I have all the email stuff set up and also I know how to send an alarm using the panel and using email I'm just not sure how to set an internal bit at a certain time of day. Can anyone help ? Much appreciated, Ben

I have managed to set up the PLC clock to the correct time, so can I maybe use this to send an alarm at a certain time ? Thanks

Why don't you use the Timechannel function of the terminal ? Edited 4 Nov 2009 by Gambit
