Simulation

LogicPro allows you to simulate your control logic program

without the need for a controller. After you have completed

writing your application program and before you load to a

target resource, Simulation allows you to test it for problems.

This is a simple process and does not require you to make

changes to any of the I/O assignments, resource definitions, or

resource setups.

Building a Simulation causes LogicPro to generate and

compile code to create a Windows Dynamic Link Library

(DLL). Then, when you run the Simulation LogicPro

communicates with this DLL instead of your target resource.

This is a very powerful tool for testing, debugging and

optimizing the performance of your program.

The advantages of using LogicPro simulation are:

• Same logic code

• No I/O

While using the Simulation mode, LogicPro allows you to

accelerate the time base by adjusting the Timer Ticks setting.

You can control the number of times your logic executes by

adjusting the number of scans setting. Finally, you can change

individual variable settings. This gives you control over all

aspects of the simulation.
