Mode Diagnostic Points

You can create a mode point for each physical redundant PLC. The point contains the following information:

Description

Bit

Value

Device health

1

1 = device OK

Current master

CPU Status

2

3

1 = current master

1 = CPU is running

The first and second bits contain the mode information from the programmable controller. The mode address is defined in the Mode Address field on the TCP/IP tab in the Port Properties dialog box when you create the port.

The third bit indicates the status of the CPU. The CPU is considered to be not in run mode if its state is any of the following:

STOP_IO_DISABLED

CPU_STOP_FAULTED

CPU_HALTED

CPU_SUSPENDED

STOP_IO_ENABLED

The addresses for the Mode diagnostic points are:

$MODE_P1  Mode Point

Primary PLC 

$MODE_P2 Mode Point

Secondary PLC 

$MODE_P3 Mode Point

Third PLC
