7.3.4 Changing Bailey Controller Module Modes
Bailey controller modules are always in one of three operating modes. These
modes are execute, configure and error. When in the execute mode the
controller runs its block configuration. In this mode of operation, existing blocks
can be tuned (see section 7.3.2) but new blocks cannot be added and existing
locks cannot be modified or deleted. When in the configure mode, the controller
