Output simulation
Output simulation allows you to provide process values for the cyclic class 1 Master, to
test how the automation program processes those values.
Carry out the following settings:
1. Open the Device Menu Simulation.
2. Select the register Output.
3. Set the target mode to MAN (manual).
4. Enter the desired output value, the quality and the status.
5. Transfer the settings to the device.
6. You can view the output behavior, for example with SIMATIC PDM (open the View
Menu Display).
7. To return to normal operation, reset the target mode to AUTO and press Transfer.
Input (Primary Value) simulation
Input Value simulation allows you to test the effects on the Primary Variable of your
preset inversion and failsafe settings, and see how the output value is affected.
Carry out the following settings:
1. Open the Device Menu Simulation
2. Select the register Input.
3. Set the simulation mode to Enabled.
4. Enter the desired input value, the quality and the status.
5. Transfer the settings to the device.
6. You can view the output behavior, for example with SIMATIC PDM (open the View
Menu Display).
7. To return to normal operation, reset the simulation mode to Disabled and press
Transfer.
Sensor Value Simulation
By simulating the Sensor Value as a fixed value or as a parameterizable slope, you can
test:
• the reaction to the Measuring Limits being exceeded
• the logic switch behavior
• the behavior of the delay timers
With a parameterizable slope you can make the simulation value dynamic. It runs from a
starting value to an end value in a step function, dwelling on each step for the preset
period of time. At the end value the direction is reversed.
