2.2.2 Mode change
Introduction
A mode change is requested and activated via the mode group interface (DB11, ...). A mode
group will either be in AUTOMATIC, JOG, or MDA mode, i.e., it is not possible for several
channels of a mode group to take on different modes at the same time.
What mode transitions are possible and how these are executed can be configured in the
PLC program on a machine-specific basis.
Note
The mode is not changed internally until the signal "Channel status active" is no longer
pending. For error-free mode change however, all channels must assume a permissible
operating mode.
Possible mode changes
The following table shows possible mode changes for one channel.
