Product Description

The Simulation Output Module is characterized by its user interface for manual signal manipulation:

• Manual Signal Generation: The module typically includes physical control elements, such as toggle switches for setting binary signals (ON/OFF) or rotary potentiometers (dials) for generating continuous analog values (e.g., simulating a flow sensor output).

• Controller Input Simulation: Its main function is to inject these manually set signals onto the backplane, simulating inputs to the CPU. This allows the testing of complex program logic without requiring actual field wiring or sensors to be connected.

• Status Indicators: Features integrated LEDs to visually indicate the current state of each generated signal, confirming the signal being sent to the controller.

• Safety Isolation: Designed with appropriate isolation to ensure that the process of manual signal generation does not pose a risk to the core control module or power supplies.

Product Parameters

The technical parameters focus on the number and type of signals it can simulate:

Product Advantages

• Rapid Program Verification: Allows for quick and iterative testing of program branches and sequencing logic during development and debugging.

• Safe Commissioning: Enables validation of control software and HMI interactions without the need for potentially dangerous connection or movement of physical machinery.

• Reduced Field Wiring Dependency: Program testing can begin before all field wiring is complete, accelerating the overall commissioning timeline.

• Effective Training Tool: Provides a safe, hands-on environment for engineers and maintenance personnel to learn system behavior and troubleshooting techniques.

Important Considerations (Notes)

• Non-Production Use: This module is strictly a tool for testing and must be removed or physically disabled before the automation system is placed into actual production operation.

• Logic Interaction: Users must understand how the forced signals interact with the controller’s logic, particularly if the logic uses internal fault diagnostics or safety checks.

• Channel Mapping: The simulation channels must be correctly mapped to the program’s I/O addresses to ensure the correct variables are being manipulated.

• Power Verification: The module draws power from the rack and should be accounted for in the system’s power budget, although its consumption is generally low.

Product Applications

The Simulation Output Module is invaluable during key stages of the project lifecycle:

• Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT): Used to rigorously test the complete control program and HMI interface in the controlled environment of the builder’s facility.

• Site Acceptance Testing (SAT): Employed on-site to verify system functionality and logic before final connection to live power and actuators.

• Troubleshooting: Helps isolate faults by overriding potentially problematic sensor inputs to quickly determine if an issue resides in the field hardware or the program logic.

• Program Development: Used extensively by programmers to step through code and ensure correct execution flow under various simulated operating conditions.
