8.0 Run / Stop Modes
Four operational modes control how the SmartVue runs. The
Run / Stop menu is shown
below. The current mode is indicated with a colored icon and is changed by simply
pressing the desired mode button.
Figure 8-1 The Run / Stop menu
Run
is the usual operational mode that the SmartVue uses to run processes and control
outputs. The
Meter screen will display input values and any outputs tied to a process will
output signals based on the set configuration.
Run with Outputs Off
runs processes but outputs that are tied to any processes are set to
off. Voltage outputs are set to zero volts, current loop outputs are set to the minimum
value, digital outputs are set to high impedance, and frequency outputs are set to zero
hertz. The
Meter screen will display inputs values as with the Run mode.
Stop Process Control
disables the processes and no further input values are displayed on
the
Meter screen. Outputs are shut off as with the Run with Outputs Off mode described
above.

Disabled Configuration
disables the processes as with the
Stop Process Control mode
above but places the multipurpose I/O into a floating state to prevent the possibility of
input signals being inadvertently connected to outputs and vice versa or damage to the
I/O points or connected devices until the configuration can be validated for the intended
application.
