3.6.2 Remote PAUSE
This operation changes the operating status of the CPU module externally to PAUSE, keeping the RUN/STOP/RESET
switch of the CPU module in the RUN position. PAUSE status is status where sequence program operations in the
CPU module are stopped, holding the status (on or off) of all outputs (Y).
(1) Application
This operation is useful, especially during the process control, to hold the on status of outputs (Y) even after the
operating status of the CPU module is switched from RUN to STOP.
(2) Executing method
(a) Using a PAUSE contact
Set a PAUSE contact in the PLC system tab of the PLC parameter dialog box.
The settable device range is X0 to 1FFF.
• The PAUSE contact (SM204) turns on during END processing of the scan where both the PAUSE contact
and PAUSE enable coil (SM206) turn on.
The CPU module executes one more scan until the END instruction after the scan where the PAUSE
contact turns on, and then changes its operating status to PAUSE. In the PAUSE status, the program
operations are stopped.
• When the PAUSE contact or SM206 is turned off, the PAUSE status will be canceled and the CPU module
will restart the sequence program operation from the step 0.
Setting of only a PAUSE contact is not allowed. (When setting a PAUSE contact, set a RUN contact as well.)
(b) Using a programming tool
Select [Online] ï‚®ï€ [Remote Operation] ï‚®ï€ "PAUSE".
