4-2 Operation Revised Jun-2013
4.2 Setting the Operating Mode (Run/Remote/Local Switch or Mode
Switch)
The PSSM you receive has either a key-operated Run/Remote/Local
switch (see Figure 2-9) or a Mode switch (see Figure 2-10).
Run/Remote/
Local Switch
You set the PSSM’s Run/Remote/Local switch using a removable key.
You can remove this key when the switch is in any position to prevent
an unauthorized person from changing the operating mode.
Figure 4-2. Run/Remote/Local Key Switch
Run prevents you from performing any ControlWave Designer debug
or program functions (start/stop, application downloads, etc.). Remote
and Local functions depend on how you configured the communication
port in ControlWave Designer (serial, IP, or OpenBSI).
IP/OpenBSI (BSAP): If you configure the communication port for
either of these choices in ControlWave Designer it becomes a
remote port: set the Run/Remote/Local switch to Remote for
downloads.
Serial: If you configure the communication port for serial in
ControlWave Designer, it becomes a local port: set the
Run/Remote/Local switch to Local for downloads.
Note: Setting the Run/Remote/Local switch to Local enables
communications through any comm port. However, if you
set the switch to Remote, that restricts communications only
to comm ports configured as remote comm ports.
Mode Switch
Instead of a Run/Remote/Local switch, some versions of the
ControlWave Micro include a mode switch (SW1). This is a two-
position piano type DIP switch that allows you to configure the mode
for firmware upgrades, core updumps, or normal running operations
(see Figure 4-3).
Set both DIP switches to either the Open position (to the right) or
the Closed position (to the left) to place the ControlWave Micro in
Recovery mode. Use Recovery mode for a firmware upgrade or a
core updump (see Chapter 5). Set SW1-1 (the upper DIP switch) to
the Open (right) position and SW1-2 (the lower DIP switch) to the
Closed (left) position to place the ControlWave Micro in Local
mode, which is used for normal running operations.
