6-2SectionProgramming Console Operations
102
Caution Before changing the contents of I/O memory, be sure that the changes will not
cause equipment to operate unexpectedly or dangerously. In particular, take
care when changing the status of output bits. The PC continues to refresh I/O
bits even if the PC is in PROGRAM mode, so devices connected to output points
on the CPU Board or Expansion I/O Boards may operate unexpectedly.
1, 2, 3... 1. Monitor the status of the desired word according to the procedure described
