Now let's turn to the three-position mode switch you will use to select the
operating mode of the PC. As you see, there are three modes.
The RUN mode is the one you will use to begin PC operation. When you
turn on this mode, the PC begins controlling the equipment using the
program you have written into the PC memory.
The MONITOR mode allows you to visually monitor the operation in
progress. For instance, if you want to check that a particular relay is in the
correct state (either ON or OFF) at the proper time, you can move to the
address (or step) that references that relay.
Using the PC in the RUN and MONITOR modes is explained in Chapter 5.
The PROGRAM mode, which is fully explained in this chapter, is used
during the programming operation.

The easy-to-read display is your window into the workings of the PC. The
