9 REAL MODE/VIRTUAL MODE SWITCHING AND STOP/RE-START
9.2 Switching from the Virtual Mode to Real Mode
There are following methods for switching from the virtual mode to real mode.
• Switching by user
• Switching automatically by the operating system software
9.2.1 Switching by user
(1) When the virtual mode to real mode switching is requested (M2043 ON OFF),
the item in Table 9.4 is checked. If normal, it switches to the real mode.
(Confirm the check items in Table 9.4 for the switching from virtual mode to real
mode, and execute with all normal state.)
(2) The real mode/virtual mode switching error detection flag (M2045) turns on at the
error detection, and the error code is stored in the real mode/virtual mode
switching error information (SD504 to SD506). (Refer to APPENDIX 1.7)
Table 9.4 Check Items for VIRTUAL Mode to REAL Mode Switching
Check item Normal condition Abnormal condition
• Is the virtual axis stopped? (M2001 to M2032 of
virtual axis: OFF)
Virtual axis

ON even if 1 axis
• Virtual axis and real mode axis stopped? (M2001 to
M2032 : OFF)
(Operating system software version "00G" or before
in the Q17
DCPU(-S1))
OFF ON even if 1 axis
9.2.2 Switching by the operating system software
(1) If the following items are detected in the virtual mode operation, the operating
system software automatically switches back to the real mode.
• The forced stop is input.
• PLC ready flag (M2000) turns off.
• When "Return to Real Mode" is set as an operation on servo error, the servo
error detection signal (M2408+20n) turns on even if 1 axis.
(2) The error code is stored in the real mode/virtual mode switching error information
(SD504 to SD506) at the switching back from virtual mode to real mode. However,
the real mode/virtual mode switching error detection flag (M2045) does not turn
on.
