The display element on the Programming Console screen shown below com-
prises the mode selection keys, which change the operation mode of the PC,
and the mode lock key, which prevents unintended mode changes.
Mode selection keys
Mode lock key
The RUN, MONITOR, and PROGRAM mode selection key elements are touch
switches and pressing them causes the PC operation mode to change (unlike an
actual Programming Console, it is possible to switch directly between the RUN
mode and the PROGRAM mode.)
When the Programming Console function is started, the PC operation status is
read and reflected at the PC.
The mode lock key element is also a touch switch, and it alternates between the
lock ON (with no key displayed) and lock OFF (with key displayed) states when
pressed. During the lock ON state, mode selection key operations are ineffec-
tive. The mode displays change as indicated in the figures below during the lock
ON status and during the lock OFF status.
When the Programming Console function starts, the lock ON status is estab-
lished.
If the RUN, MONITOR, or PROGRAM mode selection key is pressed in the lock
OFF status, the mode changes and the lock ON status is established.

Programming Console Keyboard
The Programming Console keyboard used on the screen when the Program-
ming Console function is used is comprised entirely of touch switches (shown by
the dashed line frames in the figure below). On pressing a touch switch, a key
operation is executed. However, since there is a discrepancy between the size
of the displayed keys and the size of the touch switches, take care to press as
close to the center of the key as possible by referring to the figure below.
In addition, if the connected host is the CS1G/CS1H, the Programming Console
key sheet for the CS1 series is automatically displayed.
