Why does my PLC boot into STOP mode?

If your PLC powers on, and indicates that it’s in “stop” mode via the LEDs on the unit, but the “error” LED is off, then it’s likely that the physical “run/stop” switch on your PLC is set to “stop” mode. This FAQ demonstrates how to locate the switch on the PLC that will change this setting.

On the Maple Micro PLC, you’ll want to open the hatch next to the Maple logo, and there will be a small yellow switch underneath. Simply ensure that this switch is flipped to “run” mode.

On the Maple Modular models, the Maple Logo is attached to a cover that latches open, revealing both the USB port of the device, and the “run/stop” switch as well. Be sure to confirm that this switch is in the “run” position
