10. OTHER FUNCTIONS
(b) Method using GPP function, serial communication module, etc.
The CPU module can be set to RUN or STOP by remote RUN/STOP operation
from GPP function, or a serial communication module, etc.
The operation using GPP function can be performed in the Remote operation of
the PLC menu in any mode.
The control using a serial communication module is performed with the
commands in the dedicated protocol.
For details on serial communication module control, refer to the Serial
Communication Module User's Manual.
(4) Precautions
(a) Since the STOP state has a priority in the QnACPU, pay attention to the
following points.
1) In the QnACPU, if remote STOP is performed from any one of remote RUN
contact, GPP function, serial communication module, etc., the QnACPU will
be STOP.
2) In order to set the QnACPU to RUN again after it has been set to STOP by
remote STOP, all external factors which set remote STOP (Remote RUN
contact, GPP function, serial communication module, etc.) have to be set to
RUN.
REMARK
The RUN/STOP status is defined as follows.

communication module
RUN status..............
Status in which the sequence program is repeatedly
performed from step 0 to the END instruction.
STOP status...........
