Controller States and Behaviors<br />

Multiple Download: SoMachine has a feature that allows you to perform a full<br />

application download to multiple targets on your network or fieldbus. One of the<br />

default options when you select the Multiple Download... command is the Start<br />

all applications after download or online change option, which restarts all<br />

download targets in the RUNNING state, provided their respective Run/Stop<br />

inputs are commanding the RUNNING state, but irrespective of their last<br />

controller state before the multiple download was initiated. Deselect this option if<br />

you do not want all targeted controllers to restart in the RUNNING state. In<br />

addition, before using the Multiple Download option, test the changes to your<br />

application program in a virtual or non-production environment and confirm that<br />

the targeted controllers and attached equipment assume their expected<br />

conditions in the RUNNING state.<br />

WARNING<br />

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION<br />

Always verify that your application program will operate as expected for all<br />

targeted controllers and equipment before issuing the "Multiple Download…"<br />

command with the "Start all applications after download or online change"<br />

option selected.<br />

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or<br />

equipment damage.<br />

NOTE: During a multiple download, unlike a normal download, SoMachine does not<br />

offer the option to create a Boot application. You can <strong>manual</strong>ly create a Boot<br />

application at any time by selecting Create boot application in the Online menu<br />

on all targeted controllers (the controller must be in the STOPPED state for this<br />

operation).<br />

The SoMachine software platform allows many powerful options for managing task<br />

execution and output conditions while the controller is in the STOPPED or HALT<br />

states. Refer to Controller States Description (see page 49) for further details.<br />

To exit the HALT state it is necessary to issue one of the Reset commands (Reset<br />

Warm, Reset Cold, Reset Origin), download an application or cycle power.<br />
