Hello everyone. this is my first time posting on this forums so please forgive me if the format of my question is unclear.
background information: i am working on a project which is to automate a greenhouse using PLC 5/40L.
The first task is to program the DC Output Module to produce a constant 24V DC. The output of this module will be use to power our LED grow lights, the end goal is to have a timer for which it will power the lights for 8 hrs and turn off, and repeat the next day.
The DC module has been inserted and configured according to its data sheet. Now, i have no experience in PLC and have no idea how to begin, so i need advice on how approach programming this to accomplish our task. The software we have is RSLogix 5.
I will attach pictures of the setup so far.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post.
Have an awesome day
