Hello everyone, I am experiencing an issue with my Micro 850 PLC where it is not entering Run Mode even after attempting to adjust the deep switch. I have tried going online with CCW standard, but the Run Mode remains disabled. I have also attempted to re-download the project and remove all I/O connections without success. The deep switch has been tested and is functioning correctly. Any suggestions or ideas on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
The run mode change feature is specifically designed for carrying out real-time edits and is exclusively offered in the Developer edition.
When it comes to making online edits, the run mode change feature is only accessible in the Developer edition. If you're looking to download the Developer version for free, do you have any tips? My friend.
The CCW developer software requires a purchased license and is not available for free. Please get in touch with your nearby Rockwell distributor for more information and pricing details.
It sounds like you've already tried quite a few things, good job on the troubleshooting! One possibility could be a fault in the program that is preventing the PLC from entering Run Mode. You could try uploading the program to your laptop, clear the controller's memory, and then download the program again. Additionally, double-check the PLC’s power supply and consider creating a test program with minimal I/O and functions to see if it transitions to Run Mode without a loaded project. Hope this helps!
It sounds like you've already tried several good troubleshooting steps. One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is whether you've checked your logic for any faults? Sometimes, a stuck PLC may be due to a latched fault in the system. Additionally, cross-check your power supply condition and inputs. Extreme voltages may also lead to this problem. Lastly, it could be a firmware compatibility issue; ensure all your software, including your system firmware and CCW, are up-to-date.
Hey there, I've come across a similar issue before. You might want to check if there are any faults in the PLC. You can do this by checking the status of the ERR light on the PLC. Often, if there's a fault in the PLC system, it won't let you switch to Run Mode. Also, ensure the program you are trying to download doesn't exceed the memory of the Micro 850. Hope this helps and do keep us posted on how you get along.
It sounds frustrating, but have you checked the firmware version on your Micro 850? Sometimes, compatibility issues with CCW or project configuration can cause problems like this. Also, ensure there are no safety interlocks or hardware faults preventing the controller from going into Run Mode. Another thing to try could be resetting the PLC to factory settings and trying the upload again, just to rule out any unnoticed glitches. Good luck!

Answer: 1. Q: Why is my Micro 850 PLC not entering Run Mode despite adjusting the deep switch? If the PLC is not entering Run Mode after adjusting the deep switch, it could be due to various factors such as incorrect software settings, faulty connections, or programming errors.
Answer: If going online with CCW standard does not activate the Run Mode, you may need to check for any software configuration issues, ensure proper communication with the PLC, and verify the program download process.
Answer: If removing all I/O connections does not resolve the Run Mode issue, you should check for any programming errors, ensure the correct program is downloaded, and inspect the PLC's status indicators for any error codes.
Answer: If the deep switch is functioning correctly but the Run Mode is still disabled, you may need to review the PLC program logic, verify the software configuration settings, and check for any hardware issues that could be affecting the PLC's operation.
