5. Simulation
Introduction
The purpose of simulation is to test operation of the application
(including display of Chinese characters if the application contains any)
in the XBT L100•, and thus enable the designer to validate his
application without needing to transfer it to the display unit or connect up
the PLC. Only one simulation can be launched at a time.
Click on Application Simulation in the Simulation menu to open two
windows:
- One window representing the display unit front panel
- One PLC simulation window containing three tabs:
- Page Variables
-Alarms
- Dialog Table
NOTE: Application transfer and printing are not simulated.
Display-unit simulation window
This window represents the display front panel. It therefore contains a
graphic representation of each of the keypad keys and a zone
representing the screen where the pages are displayed as they appear
on the terminal in running mode. Access to every key of the display unit
keypad is possible using the mouse or a key on the PC keypad.
