How configure RUN

[arnoldzw]

Hi all,

Working in GXWorks2 with an FX2 CPU.

When i powercycle the PLC, the plc stays in STOP. With the software i can put him into RUN, also found an setting to give RUN signal by an digital input.

 

How can i configure the PLC to always go into RUN after power up / power cycle?

If you have a PLC program and acceptable parameters downloaded; your PLC should go to run mode after a power cycle.

Check that your RUN/PAUSE signal in your PLC Parameter is switched off.

In The PLC parameters is the " RUN terminal input"  configured as "none"    (other choices are only inputs from X000-X017)

Still when i power cycle the CPU, it stays in STOP and not going into RUN automaticly

Did you put the physical switch on the PLC to "RUN"???

The input you are referring to is optional and should only be used if you by any chance want to deactivate the PLC with a physical input signal.

Thank all for help.

kaare_t no the switch was at run.

 

I had configured the run terminal input, but forgot to check the right box when downloading to PLC.

 

Now its working, thank you all!

I've never used the run terminal ever.

I have seen it used on a lot of old programs where the e stops were tied to it.

That method has long since been illegal.

That's true, i have alsof never used it.

In my opinion an useless option. Maybe in old programs indeed as you described.

The setting was wrong, and downloaded wrong config once, after change it back in software, forgot to download new config.  Nevermind! Works ok now!
