Once the PLC program is complete the next step is to log on the Mercury TDB controller to the Data Manager.
Mapping from a Data Manager Data Builder Program

digital values to the controller. Refer to the Data Manager Data Builder user guide for further details.
Once the Data Manger Data Builder program is running and the Intuitive Mercury controller is logged on to the Data Manger then the status of
the digital output running in the Data Manager PLC program will be mapped to the controller network digital input named “Production GP Timer
Input”.
