Opening the user interface

If the Web server can be accessed, a button with name "Simulation & Test" can be observed. By
clicking the button an additional menu appears.
This feature is available:
– if the test modus is generally enabled (see Chapter 2.5.1, "Security Policies")
– if the Signal test mode is temporary enabled (see Chapter 4.1, "Enable Logging and Debug-

Signals grid

The central element of the user interface is a grid or table containing the signals which are configured
in the RTU500 series. The grid has eight columns and as many rows (each row representing a signal)
as it is selected by the user.
