What is the purpose of the Run Mode in a ControlLogix system?

The purpose of the Run Mode in a ControlLogix system is to execute the project code. When a ControlLogix controller is in Run Mode, it processes the control logic and performs the functions as programmed in the project. This includes reading inputs, executing the user-defined logic, writing outputs, and managing communications with other devices and networks in real time.

In this mode, the system can interact with field devices and execute control tasks without interruption, ensuring that processes operate correctly and safely. It is essential for the effective running of automated systems in manufacturing and other industrial applications. This operational mode is distinguished from other modes, such as Program Mode, where changes and edits to the application can be made but not executed.
