Question

To use the cycle start button from the SOP, which of the following setup modes should the Remote/Local be set at within the System/Config screen?

1) OP panel key
2) Local
3) Remote
4) External I/O

Answer 1

To use the cycle start button from the SOP, the system should be set to 'Local' mode, allowing the machine's control panel to start operations directly.

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the cycle start button from the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), the Remote/Local switch should be set to 'Local' within the System/Config screen. When the system is set to Local, the machine will accept commands from its own control panel, allowing the operator to initiate the cycle start directly. However, when set to Remote, commands typically come from an external controller, meaning the cycle start would be initiated by an external signal rather than the control panel of the machine itself. OP panel key usually refers to the operational control keys on the panel, while External I/O refers to input/output controls managed by external devices.
