Operating modes and mode selectors 
Operating modes  
You can use the control stations either individually or in combination. There are four different 
operating modes available for selection: 
●  Local 1 
●  Local 2 
●  Local 3 
●  Remote / Automatic: In this operating mode, the system must communicate via PLC. 
Not all control stations are usually connected. If more than one control station (e.g. local and 
PLC / PCS) is connected, it makes sense and is also mandatory to operate the control 
stations selectively. Four operating modes are provided for this purpose which can be 
selected via two control signals (mode selectors). For each individual control station in every 
operating mode, it can be stipulated if "ON commands" and / or "OFF commands" are to be 
accepted. The operating modes are controlled in such a way that only one operating mode is 
active at any one time. 
Example: There are three operating modes in a system: 
Table 4- 4  Operating modes 
Key-operated switch operation, e.g. Local 1   Only local control inputs are permitted! All other control 
Manual operation, e.g. Local 3   Only operator panel control commands and local 
control commands can be issued. 
Remote operation, e.g. remote / automatic   Only PLC/PCS control commands are permitted; only 
OFF commands are permitted locally. 
The key-operated switch must be read in via an input to select these operating modes. The 
remote switching operation should be controlled via the bus. The key-operated switch 
operation has priority over all other operating modes.
