Thats correct
It should work
See the comms in Monitor I/O and watch for the DB and OP messages
Also test with a test lamp on the output

You can see that Comfort is pulsing the outputs or at least trying to
The possibilities are that what is connected to the outputs is not turning on, or the outputs may be damaged in some way
The Monitor I/O is a useful tool in these situations

You have used a Timer to turn off the Output. This is OK but a batter way is to use the Pulse Output command

Pulse Output019 For 20

This pulses the Output for 1 second (units of 50 ms)

It saves you a timer!


 Current time is 08:23 am
