Remote operation
7.10 Simulation
Simulation (Output) (PROFIBUS PA)
Allows you to simulate the output value from a Function Block.
1. Open the menu Device – Simulation, select the desired function block.
2. Select the Simulation (Output) tab.
3. Change target mode to MAN. Click Transfer.
4. Enter the simulated output value, and select values for Quality and Status as needed. Click
Transfer.
5. After simulation is complete, change target mode back to AUTO and click transfer.
Note
When changing target mode from AUTO to MAN it is necessary to first transfer the mode to
the device. Once the device is set to manual mode, then transfer the value and status to be
set for simulation.
Simulate input
Allows you to simulate the sensor value which is input to the Level Transducer Block. This
tests everything between the Level Transducer Block and Output.
1. Open the menu Device – Simulation, and select Simulation (Input).
2. To enable simulation select Fixed or Ramp. If you select Ramp, enter the step length and
number of steps.
3. Enter the simulated value and click Transfer.
4. After simulation is complete, disable simulation.
