Channel Operating State (Run)

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.

• 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

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify the controller's Logix Designer application logic is sending a Run command to the module channel.

2. 2

   Check the controller's operational mode; ensure it is in Remote Run or Run mode if continuous operation is required.

3. 3

   Inspect the connection between the owner-controller and the module (I xx .ConnectionFaulted) for any communication issues.
