Meaning of the STOP ACTIVE LED
The following table shows the meaning of the STOP ACTIVE LED for the CPU 1512C-1 PN.
Table 6- 3 Meaning of the LEDs
LED lit yellow
The CPU is switched to "STOP" mode using the STOP button.
• As long as the STOP ACTIVE LED is lit up, switching the CPU to RUN mode is only
possible using the RUN button.
• The CPU can then no longer be set to RUN mode via the display operation or via online
functions. The state of the buttons is retained at power-off. If the CPU does not start up
automatically after a power-on, you have to keep the STOP button pressed during start-
up until the STOP ACTIVE LED is activated.
• If an automatic start-up is to be reliably prevented after a power-up, the STOP button has
to be kept pressed during the start-up of the CPU until the STOP ACTIVE LED is activat-
ed.
LED off
• The CPU is set to "STOP" mode using the display or programming device and not with
the STOP button on the device.
• The CPU is in RUN mode.
