CPU not in RUN

Post by roberto_battistella »

Hello

This morning I found myself in an embarrassing situation.
I found myself working on a station with CPU type 1214FC; the CPU is in STOP.
On the CPU I have not found any mechanical switch that can allow me to put it in RUN.
So I connect with TIA_16, I go ONLINE reaching the CPU and I send the RUN command.
The CPU requires a password, so I deduce that the CPU itself is protected (as I think the whole project).
So, having no password (not supplied by the programmer), how can I at least put the CPU back into RUN and start using the machine?
Sorry, is this normal? Is it allowed to arm the plants in this way?
I don't know what fish to take.

Thank you. Hello.

unfortunately not, in the behavior settings after power off the automatic run restart has not been enabled.

You could try using this tool from Siemens (it is free) : https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs ... 0&lc=en-WW

Among other thing it can put to run tohose PLC's tha do not have mechanical mode switch.
