Operating Modes
CPM2C-S CPU Units have 3 operating modes: PROGRAM, MONITOR, and
RUN.
PROGRAM Mode
The program cannot be executed in PROGRAM mode. This mode is used to
perform the following operations in preparation for program execution.
• Changing initial/operating parameters such as those in the PC Setup
• Writing, transferring, or checking the program
• Checking wiring by force-setting and force-resetting I/O bits
!Caution
The PC continues to refresh I/O bits even if the PC is in PROGRAM mode, so
devices connected to output points may operate unexpectedly if the corre-
sponding output bit is turned ON by transferring I/O memory or force-setting
output bits from a Programming Device.
When output bits are allocated to the DeviceNet I/O Link Write Area, data writ-
ten to the output bits through DeviceNet is effective immediately and the out-
put bits may go ON even if the PC is in PROGRAM mode. Do not change the
status of output bits from a Programming Device or DeviceNet unless it is safe
to do so.
MONITOR Mode
The program is executed in MONITOR mode and the following operations can
be performed from a Programming Device. In general, MONITOR mode is
used to debug the program, test operation, and make adjustments.
• Online editing
• Monitoring I/O memory during operation
• Force-setting/force-resetting I/O bits, changing set values, and changing
present values during operation
RUN Mode
The program is executed at normal speed in RUN mode. Operations such as
online editing, force-setting/force-resetting I/O bits, and changing set values/
present values cannot be performed in RUN mode, but the status of I/O bits
can be monitored.

Operating Mode at Startup
The operating mode of the CPM2C-S when the power is turned ON depends
upon the setting of pin 4 on the DIP switch on the front of the CPM2C-S, the
PC Setup settings in DM 6600, and the Programming Console’s mode switch
setting if a Programming Console is connected.
