PAC8000 Workbench Getting Started Guide
Downloading to the Logic Simulator
Applies to: Hybrid and Logic Controllers
Now that the drawings have been compiled and the IEC 61131-3 logic built, they can be
checked out in the simulator before downloading to the controller.
The Discrete Control Interface has its own simulator, which does not interface with the
Process simulator. Therefore, process control strategies and discrete control strategies
are simulated on their own. To test the interactions between the two, an actual controller
must be used.
To download to the Logic Simulator:
1. Launch
the
Discrete Control Interface
.
2. Select
the
Debug
| Simulation
menu item. Several DOS windows are launched
and the Discrete Control Interface appears, as shown below, once the
Logic
Simulator
is successfully launched. (Do not close the DOS windows; they close
when the simulator is stopped.)
