Interacting with the online CPU
The Online and Diagnostics portal provides an operating panel for changing the operating
mode of the online CPU. The "Online tools" task card displays a CPU panel that shows the
operating mode of the online CPU. (The color of the RUN/STOP indicator shows the current
operating mode of the CPU: yellow indicates STOP mode, and green indicates RUN mode.)
The CPU panel also allows you to change the operating mode of the online CPU.
Use the button on the operator panel to change the operating mode
(STOP or RUN). The CPU panel also provides an MRES button for
resetting the memory.
To use the CPU panel, you must be connected online to the CPU. After you select the CPU
in the device configuration or display a code block in the online CPU, you can display the
CPU panel from the "Online tools" task card.
You can also monitor the
cycle time and memory
usage of an online CPU.
After connecting to the
online CPU, you can view
the following
measurements:
•
Cycle time
•
Memory usage
