Hello to All,
Anyone familiar in setting Omron PLC to monitor mode as its default
mode, even after power interruption?

I've been using OMRON for 20 yrs, and wasn't aware that you could do it. Why
do you (want to) anyway ?
Which PLC ?

Hello Manuel,
Why would you want it to come up in monitor mode after a power bump?? The
only difference between Monitor and Run modes in an Omron PLC is that in
Monitor mode you have the ability to edit the program running in the PLC. I
have never run into any problems switching from Run to Monitor while an
Omron PLC is controlling a process.

Monitor mode is probably a little slower than Run mode as far as scan time
due to the added overhead of having to deal with a programming device.

Hope this helps.

You weren't specific on the PLC. If is happens to be a C200HS set the startup
mode in DM6600. The memory protect switch must be turned off to change this
memory. I think you use #0201 (bcd/hex) to specify Monitor mode.

With the Syswin Omron Programming software you simply need to go to :

Project / Configuration

and then fill the cases corresponding.

You can do the same job by setting system bits in data memory (depend of the
plc type).

Be carefull to set the monitor mode instead of the run mode if you want to
write data to the plc.

Good work

EX : to have the PLC power up to RUN mode even when RS232 has a connector to it, write 250 in decimal to this buffer or 0100 in hex. Hope this helps
 
If you are using LSS it is under the "Utility ->PC Setup Menu" (Yes PC)
If you are using SYSWIN it is under the "Project -> PLC Setup Menu"

Is anyone still using LSS ???????????????????!!@#$#
