Operating Instructions, 02/2016, A5E00053276-08; Simulating Output; Simulating Input - Siemens SITRANS P DS III Operating Instructions Manual

From the output of the pressure transmitter, you can get ever closer to the sensor and check
the measurement and function blocks.
The display indicates active simulation with an "Si" in the mode display.
7.10.2

Simulating output

By simulating the output, you can make process values available at the output of the
pressure transmitter for cyclic data transmissions using acyclic write access. This allows you
to test the process value processing in the automation program.
Procedure
To simulate the output, make the following settings:
1. Select output simulation.
2. Set the target mode to manual (MAN).
3. Enter the desired output value, the quality, and the status.
4. Transmit the settings from the program into the pressure transmitter.
The behavior of the output can be observed, e.g. in SIMATIC PDM or using a variable table
(VAT component).
To return to normal operation afterwards, set the target mode to AUTO.
7.10.3

Simulating input

By simulating the input, you can check the following functions:
● Adaptation of the measured value to the required process variable
● Monitoring of the process limits you have set
● Electrical damping
● Response to failure
Procedure
To simulate the input, make the following settings:
1. Select input simulation.
2. Set the target mode to AUTO.
3. Select the simulation mode "Released".
4. Enter the desired input value, the quality, and the status.
5. Transmit the settings from the program into the pressure transmitter.
You can observe the behavior of the input in e.g. SIMATIC PDM.
To return to normal operation afterwards, you must switch off the simulation.
