Starting, Stopping or Shutting Down
System controllers can be started, stopped or completely shut down at any time.
• Shutting down a system controller immediately stops all communication between the system
controller and associated devices.
• Stopping a system controller stops all communication between the system controller and associ-
ated devices in addition to temporarily stopping the control system software, but leaves the sys-
tem controller running.
