I xx .RunMode
Channel Operating State (Run)
Allen-Bradley · Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module
What does I xx .RunMode mean?
This boolean tag indicates the operating state of a channel. A value of 1 signifies that the channel is in a Run state, actively processing or exchanging data. A value of 0 indicates the channel is Idle. While not a fault, an unexpected Idle state when Run is expected indicates a control system issue.
Common Causes
- Channel commanded to Idle state by the controller
- Module not receiving a Run command from the owner-controller
- Control program logic preventing the channel from entering Run mode
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify the controller's Logix Designer application logic is sending a Run command to the module channel.
- 2
Check the controller's operational mode; ensure it is in Remote Run or Run mode if continuous operation is required.
- 3
Inspect the connection between the owner-controller and the module (I xx .ConnectionFaulted) for any communication issues.
