Testing the user project

Introduction
Step
35 Select the menu command:
Target system > Compare, to display the
"Compare" dialog field.
36 Select the menu command:
Test > Test settings
Enter the refresh period for the screen
display in tenths of seconds.
Acknowledge the change with "OK".
37 Before you go into the test mode, change
over the test mode from "Process operation"
to "laboratory operation" with
Test > Laboratory operation.
Note: In "Process operation", the default
setting is that no I/O are registered for
monitoring. In this test mode, you must select
the appropriate blocks and explicitly log
them-on for monitoring.
38 Select the menu command:
Test > Test mode
1-12
In the test mode, you can
•
Monitor the values of block I/O and change the values of block
inputs,
•
Generate and delete connections, and
•
Insert and delete blocks.
The values which are registered for test, have a yellow background. You
can easily monitor the behavior by changing parameters at the block
inputs.
Before you start the test, please check whether the following
prerequisites are fulfilled:
•
You have established a connection between the PG/PC and your
SIMADYN D station.
•
You have downloaded the actual project into the memory module,
which is located in the CPU module.
•
The associated CFC chart (e.g. "running lights") has been opened.
Procedure
The CPU name with data and time of the last
compilation between the actual configured
software and the current CPU program are
displayed. If they match, the result is: "The
configuring and the CPU program match".
You have checked that the PG/PC and the
SIMADYN D station can communicate.
In the test mode, the values of the I/O are
updated cyclically on the screen with the
selected refresh period.
If the computation time is not sufficient to
fulfill the refresh periods, then you will be
warned. The closed-loop control always has
the higher priority
This means that all of the block I/O are
automatically switched-in for "monitoring"
(the values have a yellow background).
The "Test: RUN (laboratory)" text appears
with a green background in the status bar.
In the test mode, you can monitor and
change the dynamic behavior (online).
