CPU Mode Switch

The CPU Mode switch selects the operating mode of the CPU: RUN/ENABLED, RUN/DISABLED, or STOP. The CPU mode can also be controlled from the programmer. However, the CPU Mode switch position restricts the ability of the programmer to put the CPU into certain modes, as shown in the following table.

Run/Outputs Enabled Mode

In this mode, the CPU executes all portions of the sweep normally.

Run/Outputs Disabled Mode

In this mode, the CPU executes all portions of the sweep normally, but physical outputs are held in their default state and remain unchanged. Refer to Chapter 4 for important information about Run/Disabled mode in a Hot Standby CPU Redundancy system.

Stop Mode

In Stop mode, the CPU communicates with the programmer and the devices connected to the serial port, communicates with other communications modules such as the ethernet module, and recovers faulted modules. Values in the I/O tables can be changed using the programming computer.

The STOP/IOSCAN mode is not a valid mode in a redundancy system. Refer to Chapter 4 for detailed information.

Port 1

The RJ-11 connector provides an RS-232 compatible serial port.

Port 2

The 15-pin D-connector is an RS-485 compatible serial port.

Port 3

The 15-pin D-connector at the bottom of the module provides an RS-422/RS-485 serial port. For applications requiring RS-232 communications, an RS-232 to RS-422 converter (IC690ACC900) or RS-232 to RS422 miniconverter (IC690ACC901) is available.

Note

An RS-422 Isolated Repeater/RS-232 Converter (IC655CCM590) is available for applications requiring ground isolation where a common ground cannot be established between components.
