Remote outputs from Safety Masters or Standard Masters can be force-set
and force-reset on the Safety Logic Monitoring Windows. When an output is
force-set or force-reset, the output status used in logic operations is turned
ON or OFF regardless of the actual ON/OFF status of the remote outputs.
Force-setting and force-resetting outputs can be performed only when the
configuration of the NE0A-series Controller is unlocked.
!WARNING
It is necessary to change the NE0A-series Controller to Force Mode to force-
set or force-reset outputs.

A limit can be set for the time that the NE0A-series Controller will continue in
Force Mode. The duration time is specified when Force Mode is started or
restarted. The upper limit of the duration time is 24 hours. The NE0A-series
Controller will end Force Mode if the specified duration time elapses.
There are three ways to end Force Mode.
• The NE0A-series Controller enters the normal mode when Force Mode is
ended.
• The outputs that were force-set or force-reset are returned to the actual
output values when Force Mode is ended.
