How Do You Configure The NE1A Safety Network Controller To Start In RUN Mode?

Modified on Sun, 11 May, 2025 at 10:44 PM

The user can select the NE1A-series Controller’s operating mode from the following two modes at startup, after the normal completion of configuration. The two Operating modes on are:
 
Normal Mode
 
The NE1A-series Controller starts in IDLE Mode after configuration has been completed. To switch to RUN Mode, use the Network Configurator to change the
mode at every startup.

Automatic Execution Mode

When this mode is selected and the following operations are performed, the NE1A-series Controller starts up in RUN Mode thereafter.
• Configuration lock
• Power supply interruptions after switching to RUN Mode.

IMPORTANT When the power supply is interrupted in IDLE Mode, the NE1A-series Controller will not start in RUN Mode at the next startup even though Automatic Execution Mode is set and the configuration is locked. Make sure to turn OFF the power supply in RUN Mode.

To set the mode in Network Configurator software double click on the Icon for the NE1A controller to bring up the 'Edit Device Parameters' window. Select the 'mode/Cycletime' tab. You will see the 'Automatic Execution Mode' selection here. 

Click on controller icon (text background turns blue) and then right mouse click for options.
