1-2-5 Changing the CPM1A’s Mode
Once the Programming Console has been connected, its mode switch can be
used to change the CPM1A’s PLC mode. The mode display (<PROGRAM>,
<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 dis-
play will remain on the Programming Console’s screen and the mode display
won’t appear.
·
The CPM1A will enter RUN mode automatically if a Peripheral Device such as
a Programming Console isn’t connected when the CPM1A is turned on.

Operation Operation
PROGRAM Mode
The CPM1A 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 CPM1A program is executed in MONITOR mode and I/O is processed just
as it is in RUN mode. Use MONITOR mode when testing the system by monitor-
ing the CPM1A’s operating status, force-setting and resetting I/O bits, changing
the SV/PV of timers and counters, etc.
RUN Mode
This is the CPM1A’s normal operating mode. The CPM1A’s operating status can
be monitored from a Peripheral Device, but bits can’t be force-set/force-reset
and the SV/PV of timers and counters can’t be changed.
Caution
Be sure to check the system thoroughly before changing the operating mode of
the PLC to prevent any accidents that might occur when the program is first
started.
