6.1 Simulation

To simulate a certain filling level, you can call
up the function "Simulation" in the adjustment
module MINICOM, in the adjustment software
PACT ware TM or in the HART
You simulate a vessel filling and thereby a
certain sensor current. Please note that con-
nected instruments, such as e.g. a PLC,
react according to their adjustments and will
probably activate alarms or system func-
tions. One hour after the last simulation ad-
justment, the sensor returns automatically to
standard operating mode.
