# I. PLC Application Scenarios

  1. Source of Demand

Some small projects require only independent control of the PLC's power on and off functions without needing to control sending boxes or other screen-related devices. In such cases, installing a v3pro is too resource-intensive. Therefore, a small program is needed to solely control the PLC switch functionality.

  1. Supported Functions
  • Independently control each channel in the PLC.
  • Control multiple PLCs simultaneously.
  • Schedule timed on/off operations.
  1. Notices
  • This program cannot be used simultaneously with v3pro, as they utilize similar methods for controlling the PLC, which may result in channel occupation conflicts.

# II. PLC Management

  1. Enter the PLC management section, which displays a list of all PLCs by default.

  1. Each PLC has a checkbox in the upper right corner for selecting PLCs, allowing for multiple selections.
