6.3.4

 

Configuration and reading out of the measurement values without a connection 
to the bus master 

 

With the 

"simulation"

 via the TB20 ToolBox, it is possible to temporarily configure and test a TB20 

installation without a connection with a bus master, and thus also without a user program. 

The TB20 ToolBox must be connected with the coupler via USB and be online when starting the 
simulation.  

If no appropriate project is saved in the TB20 ToolBox, the currently connected configuration can be 
read out and saved as a project: 

 

The hardware and the configuration are read out. The project must be named and saved. 

Going online again 

 

  Interruption of communication with the control system! 

The simulation operation interrupts the bus communication. The coupler logs out from the bus during 
simulation operation.
