Easy to change the operating mode of the CPU

The CPU does not have a physical switch for changing the operating modes (STOP or
RUN). When you configure the CPU in the device configuration, you configure the start-up
behavior in the properties of the CPU (Page 46). The Online and Diagnostics portal provides
an operator panel for changing the operating mode of the online CPU.
To use the CPU operator panel, you must be connected online to the CPU. The "Online
tools" task card displays an operator panel that shows the operating mode of the online
CPU. The operator panel also allows you to change the operating mode of the online CPU.

Use the button on the operator panel to change the operating mode
(STOP or RUN). The operator panel also provides an MRES button for
resetting the memory.
The color of the RUN/STOP indicator shows the current operating
mode of the CPU. Yellow indicates STOP mode, and green indicates
RUN mode.
STEP 7 Basic makes the work easy
2.2 Providing easy-to-use tools
To help you perform tasks quickly and easily,
STEP 7 Basic allows you to drag and drop
elements from one editor to another. For
example, you can drag an input from the
CPU to the address of an instruction in your
user program. (You must zoom in at least
200% to select the I/O of the CPU.)
Notice that the tag names are displayed not
only in the PLC tag table, but also are
displayed on the CPU.
To display two editors at one time, use the
"Split editor" menu commands or buttons in
the toolbar.
