We are doing our first project using the GE VersaMax PLC, CPU Model IC200CPU001. We are using a QuickPanel Jr. touchscreen operator interface, Model QPK2D100L2P. Programming software is Cimplicity Machine Edition Ver. 4.0
We need to control some functions based on time of day. The CPU has a real time clock, but we can't determine the appropriate registers or functions to access the time of day. We consequently also haven't been able to set up the QuickPanel Jr. to adjust the real time clock. We have searched the disk's help files and contacted the distributor's tech support.
Can any one get us pointed in the right direction? Once we can read the time and copy it to %R registers we won't have any trouble with the compares, etc.
