C200 Simulation Environment Specifications
The C200 Simulation Environment (SIM-C200) is an environment that simulates the C200 control
processor execution. It can be used for strategy check-out, factory acceptance tests, and strategy
development. It supports the same execution rate as the C200 50 msec Control Execution Environment.
It also supports IO modules, IO channel templates and standard function block libraries. It does not
currently support FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Pulse Input, Profibus, and special-use CCL library simulation.
Application configuration can be moved between the simulation environment and the controller through
the export and import function or by reassignment when both reside on the same Experion PKS server.
Changes made on the simulation system can be restored on the real controller through the same
procedure.
The SIM-C200 environment is equivalent to the Control Processor's Control Execution Environment. It is
installed on a PC platform with up to four SIM-C200 environments loaded to that PC. The SIM-C200
environment requires the Windows 2000 Server operating system. A dual processor server is required
when four environments are executed on the same node to guarantee the 50 msec base cycle.
