4.5.2 Remote PAUSE
(1) Definition of remote PAUSE
Remote PAUSE is the operation performed to place the C Controller module in a
PAUSE status from the user program or development environment (personal
computer), with the RUN/STOP/MODE switch on the C Controller module set to RUN.
(a) What is PAUSE status?
The PAUSE status is a status in which the output (Y) to each module and writing
to buffer memory from the C Controller module's user program are disabled, with
the ON/OFF data of all outputs (Y) retained.
Note that these operations are executable from the <<Module monitor>> tab of
the C Controller setting utility.
(2) Application of remote PAUSE
Remote PAUSE can be used in process control, etc. to keep the ON status of the
output (Y) that has been turned ON in RUN even if the C Controller module status is
changed to STOP.
(3) Remote PAUSE methods
Remote PAUSE can be executed by either of the following two methods: "Using user
program" or "Using development environment (personal computer)".
(a) Using user program
