Load Avatars Control Modes

The load avatars have two types of control modes, described below. You can select the type of Control mode for the avatar during the configuration of the avatar .

Remote Control mode: The operational control is managed by the PLC.
Local Control mode: The operational control is managed by local control inputs (digital I/O).

The operational control of the avatar can transition out of the configured control mode based on the following two conditions:

The system degraded mode status
The manual mode override status

Load Avatar Control Modes

Configured Control Mode:

Remote Control mode: The avatar transitions into Local Control mode if the system enters degraded mode or if the avatar Manual Mode Override command is issued. The avatar transitions from Local Control mode back to the configured Remote Control mode when the system is not in degraded mode and the avatar Manual Mode Override is not issued.

Load avatars can include multiple local control inputs on one or more digital I/O modules. You can connect the input ports to a selector switch on the operator control panel, which sends a command to the avatar to run in the forward or reverse direction, as well as in low or high speed, depending on the avatar .
