Connection Test 
After you download a program to a PLC, you can monitor the execution status of the PLC through ISPSoft. 
ISPSoft provides two monitoring modes; device monitoring mode and program monitoring mode. 
Monitoring mode  Description 
   
Device monitoring mode 
You can monitor the status of the devices in the PLC through the monitoring 
table. In this mode, ISPSoft updates only the status of the devices. The 
current program in ISPSoft does not have to be the same as the program in 
the PLC. 
   
Program monitoring mode 
In this mode, the operating status of the program is displayed in the program 
editing window. The present program in ISPSoft must be the same as the 
program in the PLC. 
*. You can enable the device monitoring function without program monitoring; however, if you enable the program 
monitoring function, the device monitoring function is also enabled. 
On the PLC menu, click Online Mode, or    on the toolbar, to enable the online monitoring function. The 
system also enables device monitoring mode and program monitoring mode.
