Web Server In Force Mode - GE RSTi-EP User Manual

9.9 Web Server in Force Mode

In Force mode, the system may be manipulated to such an extent that can
result in life-threatening personal injury and damage to materials.
Only use Force mode if you are very familiar with the connected system and
Warning
know at all times the consequences that your actions will have.
Note: If the force mode is activated during an established field bus connection a diagnose alarm is
generated. Depending on parametrized alarm behaviour the PLC can continue to transmit
process data and the RSTi-EP station will process them for all unforced channels. However,
forced channels will ignore any process data and behave according to forced values.
Note: Safety related modules (EP-19xx) can not be forced.
The force mode allows you to carry out functional tests or preconfigure the station prior to
commissioning, even if sensors have not yet been connected.
To do so, you must change the operating mode of the web server.
➢ To enable force mode: From the menu bar, click on Force and enable.
The web server is now in force mode.
Note: When force mode is activated, the screen display changes.
Note: If the USB connection is interrupted, force mode is stopped immediately.
➢ To force a module: Click on the respective channel.
