Using a Programming Console Section 8-1
8-1-3 Changing the CPM2C-S’ Mode with the Mode Switch
Once the Programming Console has been connected, its mode switch can be
used to change the CPM2C-S’ operating mode. The mode display (<PRO-
GRAM>, <MONITOR>, or <RUN>) will appear on the Programming Console
screen.
• No key operations can be performed while the mode display is displayed
on the Programming Console screen. Press CLR to clear the display so
that key operations can be performed.
• If the SHIFT Key is pressed while the mode switch is turned, the original
display will remain on the Programming Console’s screen and the mode
display won’t appear.
• The CPM2C-S will enter RUN mode automatically if a Programming Con-
sole isn’t connected when the CPM2C-S is turned on.
Operating Modes PROGRAM Mode
The CPM2C-S program isn’t executed in PROGRAM mode. Use PROGRAM
mode to create and edit the program, clear memory, or check the program for
errors.
MONITOR Mode
The CPM2C-S program is executed in MONITOR mode and I/O is processed
just as it is in RUN mode. Use MONITOR mode to test system operations,
such as monitoring CPM2C-S operating status, force-setting and resetting I/O
bits, changing the SV/PV of timers and counters, changing word data, and
online editing.
RUN Mode
This is the CPM2C-S’ normal operating mode. The CPM2C-S’ operating sta-
tus can be monitored from a Programming Device, but bits can’t be force-set/
force-reset and the SV/PV of timers and counters can’t be changed.
!Caution Check the system thoroughly before changing the operating mode of the PC
to prevent any accidents that might occur when the program is first started.
!Caution Never change the mode while pressing any of the keys.
