This bit can be turned ON externally (just like the Online Replacement Com-
pleted Bit) by allocating the bit to an external switch on an Input Unit and
inputting the signal or turning ON the bit from a PT. (The bit can also be
turned ON from the CX-Programmer or a Programming Console.)
Note Do not turn ON the Maintenance Start Bit (A80015) continuously from the lad-
der program or other source. As long as the Maintenance Start Bit is ON,
errors will not be generated even if there are Unit malfunctions, so the system
may be adversely affected.
The Maintenance Start Bit will be turned OFF automatically when the Online
Replacement Completed Bit (A80215) is turned ON to restart data exchange
between the replacement Unit and the CPU Unit.
When two or more Units have been removed and replacement Units are
being added to the system in order, the Maintenance Start Bit will be turned
OFF when data exchange is restarted with the last Unit that was replaced.
Example
Mount 2 Units
