(2) Remote PAUSE
The remote PAUSE is a control from the user program or Setting/monitoring tools for the C Controller module, by
which the C Controller module can be placed in the PAUSE status with its RUN switch set to RUN.
(a) Application
The remote PAUSE is useful in process control, for example, to keep the ON status of output (Y) set in the
RUN status even if the C Controller module status is changed from RUN to PAUSE.
(b) Operation
As soon as remote PAUSE is requested, the C Controller module enters to PAUSE status.
( Page 307, Section 17.2.3 (3))
(c) Methods for remote PAUSE
There are the following 2 different ways to execute remote PAUSE.
•
Using Setting/monitoring tools for the C Controller module
[Online]  [Remote Operation]
•
Using user program
Execute a bus interface function (QBF_ControlEx) to perform remote PAUSE.
The following shows the function(s) used for remote PAUSE.
Function name
QBF_ControlEx
(d) Precautions
The user program will not stop even if the C Controller module is placed in the remote PAUSE status.
To change the program processing according to the operation status of the C Controller module, utilize the C
Controller module dedicated function (CCPU_GetCpuStatus) in programming.
Remark
The operation status of the C Controller module can be confirmed by the following.
• "CPU operation status" in [Diagnostics]  [CCPU diagnostics]  <<CCPU diagnostics>> in Setting/monitoring
tools for the C Controller module
• C Controller module dedicated function (CCPU_GetCpuStatus)
Controls remote RUN/STOP/PAUSE operations of the other programmable controller CPU
modules and C Controller module.
