DC Simulator
Description
The DC Simulator, catalog number 1760-SIM, can be used to simulate Pico inputs
and outputs to test and troubleshoot programs. The simulator contains three
components: Input simulator board, output simulator board, and wall-mount
power supply. The illustration on page 10-2 shows how to connect the simulator to
Pico.
The input simulator board contains 8 maintained push buttons connected to the 8
inputs of Pico as well as 2 potentiometers connected to Inputs 7 and 8. The push
buttons simulate digital input devices such as limit switches, proximity sensors, and
photoswitches. The potentiometers can be used to simulate analog input devices
such as temperature and pressure transducers. The output board contains four
LEDs that simulate output devices such as relays, motor starters, or solenoids.
