6.3 Simulation Function
The simulation function simulates the input of a
function block and lets it operate as if the data was
received from the transducer block. It is possible to
conduct testing for the downstream function blocks or
alarm processes.
A SIMULATE_ENABLE switch is mounted in the
EJA amplifier. This is to prevent the accidental
operation of this function. When this is switched on,
simulation is enabled. (See Figure 6.2.) To initiate the
same action from a remote terminal, if REMOTE
LOOP TEST SWITCH is written to the
SIM_ENABLE_MSG parameter (index 1044) of the
resource block, the resulting action is the same as is
taken when the above switch is on. Note that this
parameter value is lost when the power is turned OFF.
In simulation enabled status, an alarm is generated
from the resource block, and other device alarms will
be masked; for this reason the simulation must be
disabled immediately after using this function.
The SIMULATE parameter of AI block consists of the
elements listed in Table 6.3 below.

Parameters Description
1Simulate Status
Sets the data status to be
simulated.
2Simulate Value
Sets the value of the data
to be simulated.
3Transducer Status
Displays the data status
from the transducer block.
It cannot be changed.
4Transducer Value
Displays the data value
from the transducer block.
It cannot be changed.
5Simulate En/Disable
Controls the simulation
function of this block.
1: Simulation disabled
(standard)
2: Simulation started
When Simulate En/Disable in Table 6.3 above is set to
2, the applicable function block uses the simulation
value set in this parameter instead of the data from the
transducer block. This setting can be used for propaga-
tion of the status to the trailing blocks, generation of a
process alarm, and as an operation test for trailing
blocks.
