ATTENTION:
RUN Run mode - The controller is actively controlling the
process/machine. Projects cannot be edited in RSLogix
5000 software when in Run mode.
Run mode should only be used when all conditions are
safe.
REM Remote Run mode - This mode is identical to Run mode
except you can edit the project online.
Users are able to modify a project file online in Remote
Run mode.
Be sure to control outputs with care to avoid injury to
personnel and damage to equipment.
Remote Program mode - This mode is identical to
Program mode.
Remote Test mode - The controller mode during which
code is executing. I/O is not controlled, and limited editing
operations are available.
Output modules are commanded to their Program mode
state (on, off, or hold).
Outputs are commanded to their Program mode state,
which could cause a dangerous situation.
Note: The mode of the controller can be changed from
within RSLogix 5000 software.
PROG Program mode - The controller mode during which
programming language is not executing.
I/O is not controlled, and limited editing operations are
available.
Output modules are commanded to their Program mode
state (on, off, or hold).
In this position, controller modes cannot be changed
through RSLogix 5000 software.
Do not use Program mode as an emergency stop (E-stop).
Program mode is not a safety device.
Outputs are commanded to their Program mode state,
which could cause a dangerous situation.
