Enter the password you want to activate by typing it in on the input

line with the keys on the operator panel. The control displays * for

the characters you entered. If you make an error entering the

password, edit the input line as described on page 2-37.

3.

When the password is correct, press the

[TRANSMIT]

key. The access

level that the password is assigned to is made active, and the control

enables all of the functions that are assigned to that access level.

The control provides 3 basic operation modes:

manual (MAN or MANUAL)
manual data input (MDI)
automatic (AUTO)

You can select a mode by using

<MODE SELECT>

on the MTB panel, or

using the

{FRONT PANEL}

softkey. This is configurable by your system

installer. Both means of selection cannot be available. Details on using

the

{FRONT PANEL}

softkey are given on page 2-13.

Depending on the current control status, a mode change request cannot be

honored. Operating modes may not be changed if any of these are true:

The control is in E-Stop.

The control is in the cycle-suspend state. This results when a program
is halted during the execution of a block.
