Hi,

I am unable to configure a digital output as internal. I want to use a World Zone to give clear signals of external machinery, but want this to be something that is a stationary world zone and is active on power up. Right now I run a routine at the start of my program to set the DO to the world zones, but would like to have this as more of a permanent thing.

Hi,

You can define your world zone routine as “event routine” and connect it to POWER\_UP event. Make sure that your DO access level configured as “read only”.
