Fieldbus/PWA Simulate

Fieldbus simulation and PWA simulation can be enabled and disabled using the DD method. Use
the "Transmitter Options" method to enable/disable the Fieldbus or PlantWeb Alerts simulation.
Selecting "Fieldbus simulation" enables both the Fieldbus function block simulation and PWA
simulation. Selecting "PWA simulation" enables PlantWeb Alert simulation only.
The simulation feature should not be used for normal operations. This feature is to be used by
authorized personnel for testing or demonstration purposes only.

Do not use the PWA Simulate feature for normal operations. When used improperly
the Simulate feature can alter, disable, or activate device alarms.
Run "Transmitter Options" method.
In the "Transmitter Options" menu, select either "Simulate Switch" or "PWA Simulate".
Select "Enable" to enable the simulation feature or "Disable" to disable the simulation
feature.
Once the method is complete, select the "Simulate PWA" tab in the Resource Block,
Figure 7-4. If the simulation is enabled, the "PlantWeb Alarm Simulate" parameter is
configurable otherwise it is read-only.
Now select Simulation on/off from the "Simulate PWA" screen. When Fieldbus
Simulation is on, the "Simulation Switch" LED is illuminated. When PWA simulation is
on, the "PWA Simulate" LED is illuminated.
