Change the Scanner Mode
The Port Mode window displays the current mode of the scanner: Run, Idle, No View.
When the view is initially created, the scanner mode is set to Idle. The view state must be set
to Run in order for the I/O devices to energize their outputs based on the output data from
the scanner.
Use the Switch Mode button to change the mode between Run and Idle. Once the mode is
set to Run, active outputs are sent to the associated I/O devices.
Use the Device Status Screen
The Device Status screen displays an Idle/Failure Table where you can double-click on a
node to see its status, for example, MAC ID, status code, and status messages such as ‘device
stopped communicating’.
If you double-click on an empty node, you see this response:
OK or not in scan list.
ATTENTION
Changing the view state to Run will cause the I/O devices to energize
their outputs based on the output data from the scanner.
To avoid personal injury and property damage, before setting the view
state to Run, verify that the output values are appropriate for the I/O
devices.
