#2 PLC Best Practices – Track Operating Modes

Track PLC operating modes – Keep the PLC in RUN mode. If PLCs are not in RUN mode, there should be an alarm to the operators.

#1 PLC Best Practices – Split PLC code into modules, using different function blocks (sub-routines). Test program modules independently.
