Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Output points can be set on or off in the DL05 series CPUs. If you want to do an I/O
check out independent of the application program, follow the procedure below:
Step Action
1
Use a handheld programmer or DirectSOFT
to communicate online to
the PLC.
2 Change to Program Mode.
3 Go to address 0.
4
Insert an “END” statement at address 0. (This will cause program
execution to occur only at address 0 and prevent the application pro-
gram from turning the I/O points on or off).
5 Change to Run Mode.
6
Use the programming device to set (turn) on or off the points you wish
to test.
7
When you finish testing I/O points delete the “END” statement at
address 0.
WARNING: Depending on your application, forcing I/O points may cause
unpredictable machine operation that can result in a risk of personal injury or
equipment damage. Make sure you have taken all appropriate safety precautions
prior to testing any I/O points.
