Chapter 3 Start Using the Controller
Use Logix Designer to Change the Operation Mode
Dependent on the mode of the controller you specify by using the mode switch,
you can change the Operation mode of the controller in the Logix Designer
application.
After you are online with the controller and the controller mode switch is set to
Remote (REM or the center position), you can use the Controller Status menu in
the upper-left corner of the application window to specify these operation
modes:
• Remote Program
• Remote Run
• Remote Test
REM Remote Run mode—This mode is identical to
Run mode except you can edit the project online. You are able to modify a project file online in
Remote Run mode.
Be sure to control outputs with care to avoid
injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
Remote Program mode—This mode is identical
to Program mode.
Remote Test mode—The controller mode during
which code is executing. I/O is not controlled, and
limited editing operations are available.
Output modules are commanded to their Program
mode state (on, off, or hold). Outputs are commanded to their Program
mode state, which can cause a dangerous
situation.
Note: The mode of the controller can be changed
from within the Logix Designer application.
PROG Program mode—The controller mode during
which programming language is not executing. I/O
is not controlled, and limited editing operations are
available.
Output modules are commanded to their Program
mode state (On, Off, or Hold).
In this position, controller modes cannot be
changed through the Logix Designer application. Do not use Program mode as an emergency
stop (E-stop). Program mode is not a safety
device.
Outputs are commanded to their Program
mode state, which can cause a dangerous
situation.
