How Do I Use S7-Plcsim With Simatic Batch For As-Based Operation - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

12.7 How do I use S7-PLCSIM with SIMATIC BATCH for AS-based
operation?
S7-PLCSIM
In S7-PLCSIM, you can run and test your STEP 7 user program in a simulated programmable
logic controller (PLC).
With a few adjustments, on a single station you can set up an existing PCS 7 project with
SIMATIC BATCH for use with S7-PLCSIM.
Note
Simulation for testing purposes only
All of the following settings apply exclusively to simulation for testing purposes on a single-
station system with no connection to real automation systems.
If you want to return to plant operation following a test simulation, you must take all the required
actions described in reverse order.
Note
TCP/IP
S7-PLCSIM can only communicate via an S7 connection based on the TCP/IP protocol.
Objective
The objective is to operate and monitor batch processes in BatchCC for testing purposes, the
recipe logic of which runs in the automation system and is simulated in S7-PLCSIM.
Requirements
● Installation of SIMATIC PCS 7 option S7-PLCSIM V5.4 SP5 Upd1
● An open PCS 7 project with SIMATIC BATCH in the SIMATIC Manager
● Master recipe containing recipe unit procedures (RUPs) that are executed on the AS
Procedure
1. In the SIMATIC Manager, click on the menu command Options > Simulate Modules. This
starts S7-PLCSIM. In the selection list, select the "PLCSIM (TCP/IP)" connection type and
set Menu > Run > Mode selector position to RUN-P.
2. Open HW Config for your AS. Open the object properties for the configured communication
processor and check if the "Store configuration data on the CPU" is activated in the
"Options" tab. This setting is mandatory for S7-PLCSIM.
