Operating modes and mode selectors
Operating modes
You can use the control stations either individually or in combination. There are four different
operating modes available for selection:
● Local 1
● Local 2
● Local 3
● Remote / Automatic: In this operating mode, the system must communicate via PLC.
Not all control stations are usually connected. If more than one control station (e.g. local and
PLC / PCS) is connected, it makes sense and is also mandatory to operate the control
stations selectively. Four operating modes are provided for this purpose which can be
selected via two control signals (mode selectors). For each individual control station in every
operating mode, it can be stipulated if "ON commands" and / or "OFF commands" are to be
accepted. The operating modes are controlled in such a way that only one operating mode is
active at any one time.
Example: There are three operating modes in a system:
Table 4- 4 Operating modes
Key-operated switch operation, e.g. Local 1 Only local control inputs are permitted! All other control
Manual operation, e.g. Local 3 Only operator panel control commands and local
control commands can be issued.
Remote operation, e.g. remote / automatic Only PLC/PCS control commands are permitted; only
OFF commands are permitted locally.
The key-operated switch must be read in via an input to select these operating modes. The
remote switching operation should be controlled via the bus. The key-operated switch
operation has priority over all other operating modes.
