I have a 205 Plc with a 260 CPU. If after programming I leave the CPU in terminal mode can that cause strange problems? I'm having an issue where the machine does random operations out of sequence in the program. The program is correct from what I can tell. The only thing that caught my eye right off is the fact that I left the CPU in terminal mode the last time I made some changes to the program. I 've selected run mode now and I'm trying to see if the same problems occur again.

We keep all of ours in Term Mode and have never had a problem.

Try reloading the latest firmware. I had a DL260's that went nuts also.
