STAND ALONE PROGRAMMABLE SAFETY CONTROLLER
Schematic Simulation
Click on the
icon to start the schematic simulation.
Schematic simulation can be used to check/guide the output signals of the various function blocks
in real-time, even during the actual simulation. You may choose the block outputs you wish to
control and check the response of the various elements of the schematic model according to the
colors of the different lines.
As with the monitor function, the color of the line (or of the actual key) indicates the signal status:
green means the signal is set to LL1, red means the signal is set to LL0.
With "Schematic Simulation", some new keys appear in the toolbar. These can be used to control
the simulation: the "Play" and "Stop" keys to start and stop the simulation, the "PlayStep" key for
step-by-step operation and the "Reset" key. When the simulation is reset, the Time value is reset
to 0 ms.
When you press "Play" to start the simulation, the amount of time that has elapsed is displayed
next to the word "Time". This time is measured in "Step" units of time multiplied by the user-
defined "KT" factor.
Figure 48 – Schematic Simulation
Click on the bottom right key of each input block to activate the respective output status (even
when the simulator is not running, i.e. when the time is not elapsing: in this case the simulation is
"static"). If the key turns red when you click on it, the output will be set to level LL0. If it turns
green, the output will be set to level LL1.
In the Network in operatorthe key is grey. This indicates that the value must be entered manually
in a specific pop-up window.
