• Processor manually placed into program mode for configuration or programming.
• Processor entered program mode due to a major fault or error.
• Attempting to write to program memory while in run mode.

1. 1

   Verify the physical key switch or mode selector position on the PLC processor module is set to 'RUN' or 'REMOTE'.

2. 2

   Inspect the PLC status indicator LEDs (e.g., RUN, I/O, FAULT) for any active fault conditions or abnormal states.

3. 3

   Connect to the PLC using the appropriate programming software (e.g., Studio 5000 Logix Designer or RSLogix 500) to confirm the current processor mode and check for any diagnostic messages or active faults.

4. 4

   Attempt to switch the PLC processor mode from Program to Run using the programming software, ensuring no critical faults are present that prevent the transition.
