Force Protection

Applying force file protection applies to SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 processor files.
Force file protection must be selected before you save your offline program. When
force protection exists, you cannot enable forces in the Input or Output data table
files. If you attempt to enable forces when force protection is active, the message:

FORCE STATE CANNOT BE MODIFIED DUE TO FORCE FILE
PROTECTION

is displayed.

Keyswitch Protection
(SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 Processors)

The SLC 5/03 and SLC 5/04 processors have a 3-position keyswitch on the front
panel of the module. The keyswitch allows you to select one of three modes of
operation:

RUN

PROGram

REMOTE program/test/run

RUN Position

When the keyswitch is in the RUN position, and the processor is in the Run mode,
you can only change the mode by changing the keyswitch position. You cannot use
a programming device to remove the processor from the Run mode. When the SLC
5/03 or SLC 5/04 processor keyswitch is in the RUN position, online editing and
processor mode changes via channels 0 and 1 are not permitted. When the
processor is faulted, you can attempt recovery by toggling the keyswitch position
from RUN to PROGram and back to RUN.

PROGram Position

When the keyswitch is in the PROG position you cannot use APS to take the
processor out of the specified mode. You must change the keyswitch position to
change the processor’s mode.
