Debugging in Force Mode Section 10-3
Ending Force Mode
There are three ways to end Force Mode.
Ending Force Mode with the G9SP Configurator
• Program execution is stopped and the G9SP-series Controller enters the
normal IDLE Mode when Force Mode is ended or Force Mode times out.
• The I/O that were force-set or force-reset are returned to the actual values
when Force Mode ends.
Elapse of Force Mode Duration Time
• Program execution is stopped and the G9SP-series Controller enters the
IDLE Mode when the Force Mode Duration Time expires.
• The I/O that were force-set or force-reset are returned to the actual values
when Force Mode ends.
Changing Controller to a Mode Other Than IDLE or RUN
The mode will be changed by downloading, resetting, turning OFF the power
supply. The Force Mode will continue, however, if a change is made between
IDLE Mode and RUN Mode.
Force Mode at Startup
If the power supply is turned OFF while the G9SP-series Controller is in Force
Mode, the G9SP-series Controller will start the next time in a normal mode.
Start the Force Mode again if required.
