Operation Operation
PROGRAM Mode The SRM1 program isn’t executed in PROGRAM mode. Use PROGRAM mode
to create and edit the program, clear memory, or check the program for errors.
MONITOR Mode The SRM1 program is executed in MONITOR mode and I/O is processed just as
it is in RUN mode. Use MONITOR mode when testing the system by monitoring
the SRM1’s operating status, force-setting and resetting I/O bits, changing the
SV/PV of timers and counters, etc.
RUN Mode This is the SRM1’s normal operating mode. The SRM1’s operating status can be
monitored from a Peripheral Device, but bits can’t be force-set/force-reset and
the SV/PV of timers and counters can’t be changed.
Caution Be sure to check the system thoroughly before executing the SRM1 program to
prevent any accidents that might occur when the program is first started.
