Step 5: Change the Scanner Mode

The Port Mode window displays the current mode of the scanner: Run, Idle,
No View.

When the view is initially created, the scanner mode is set to Idle. The view state
must be set to Run for the I/O devices to energize their outputs based on the
output data from the scanner.

Use Switch Mode to change the mode between Run and Idle. Once the mode is
set to Run, active outputs are sent to the associated I/O devices.

see the DeviceNet Universal PCI Scanner Card Installation Instructions,

.

WARNING: Changing the view state to Run will cause the I/O devices to
energize their outputs based on the output data from the scanner.

To avoid personal injury and property damage, before setting the view state to
Run, verify that the output values are appropriate for the I/O devices.
