2414X coreApp file for those who wish to experiment, use 'downloadsaladfile=trex6.slb'.

This is provided for users who already know how to download a coreApp. Please do not attempt to download this coreApp if you are unsure of what you are doing. This turns a normal PLC into a 2414X. You can re-download the TimerCoreApp to return the device to a normal PLC using InHomeFre. The 'TReX6.slb' file will need to be in your active SDM directory.
