16. Simulator tool (MEDLINE
USB to OpenBus™ gateway:
The gateway acts as an interface between the Simulator Tool Software and the OpenBus control box .
Together with the Simulator Tool Software, it can be used for test and demo purposes only .
It is not allowed to use the product as a control in any commercial application .
It has a USB B-input connection from the computer/laptop .
As output connection it has an RJ45 jack plug for connection to the control box .
The gateway is powered through the OpenBus connection to the control box .
The housing has 3 LEDs on the front .
OpenBus : This LED indicator shows if connected to OpenBus system . (power indicator)
Limitations
Note that an OpenBus system that has powered down (8 V missing) cannot be woken up by the USB to Openbus gateway!
Although the USB to Openbus gateway sets a keep power bit, it might be neglected by some control boxes that will power down after a period of
time . (Typically 2 minutes)
For cycle testing of such systems (typically battery equipped), that powers down during the cycle, a special control box software that has been stripped
for the power down feature is needed .
Warnings
• The LINAK Simulator Tool is to be used as a test tool or demo tool only . It is not allowed to use the software and accessories as a control in any
commercial application .
• Potentially dangerous situations resulting from automated movement generated by the Simulator Tool Software must be considered and assessed
before starting any action .
• Please note that over time the actual movement of an actuator within a fixed activation time may vary due to changed friction inside the actuator
or especially when a battery-driven system loses power .
Close inspection and required adjustment is necessary to obtain the wanted movement over time and to avoid potentially dangerous situations .
• The generated test report itself is not a legal proof that a system has physically moved the actuators the number of times stated and cannot be
used as such .
The time of activation listed in the report generated is not necessarily the same as the time of actuator movement . It just shows how long the function
has been activated (equal to the time you have pressed the button on the hand control) .
The actuator can be in end-of-stroke position or the function can be locked and therefore the actuator itself doesn't move . It is recommended to use
a physical counter or similar to verify the actual actuator movement .
Recommendations
• See to it that sufficient pauses are kept between activations, so that the duty cycle of each actuator type is respected .

The Simulator Tool is a software that can be used to simulate hand control functions on
OpenBus™ and analogue actuator systems . With the Simulator Tool, sequences of actuator
movements can be programmed and repeated in order to test actuator systems .
: This LED indicates that USB is connected
(Requires power from the OpenBus connection to work) .
PRQ : This LED indicates that active power request is active .
