To help you program your controller through the Connected Components
Workbench software, you can refer to the Connected Components Workbench
Online Help (it comes with the software).
Run Mode Change (RMC) is a productivity enhancement feature introduced in
Release 8 for Micro820/Mico830/Micro850 controllers. It saves the user time by
allowing logic modifications to a running project without going to remote
program mode and without disconnecting from the controller. It requires the
Connected Components Workbench Developer Edition Release 8 software to
use this feature.
Micro820/Micro830/Micro850 controller firmware revision 8.0 or higher
IMPORTANT
is also required to use Run Mode Change.
