The Run Mode – Remote I/O
This chapter describes the operations of the Run Mode for the Remote I/O
version of the DL40. It also describes the use of Special Messages. Refer to
Chapter 4 for information on the Run Mode for Parallel versions of the
DL40. See Chapter 6 for information on other operating modes.
Run Mode is the normal operating mode for the DL40. In Run Mode,
messages are triggered for display on the DL40 and (if desired) on slave
message displays.
The Remote I/O version of the DL40 always comes up in the Run Mode after
reset.
Remote I/O DL40s offer four types of Run Modes:
•
Message/Variable/Slave
•
Message/Variable
•
Message List
•
Bit Trigger
You can select the type of run mode you want as an Option using the
Onboard Editor or Offline Programming Software. Table 3.A provides an
overview of the differences among Run Mode Types.

•
the Wait Time expires
•
message is acknowledged
•
message completes printing
•
