If you also want to change the tag names of individual bits:
Overwrite the pre-allocated values with the desired new value under
Parameters
.
In the
Logic
view, these bits will appear with the corresponding tag names.

You can monitor your gateway configuration directly in samosPLAN
6. This can be done in simulati-
on mode (limited monitoring option) or by means of an active link to a samosPRO system.
NOTICE
The samosPRO gateways always show the actual physical state of the inputs and outputs of the
connected modules and equipment. This means that even when the force mode is active and in-
puts that are physically
Low
are forced to
High
(or vice versa), the actual physical state of these
inputs is transmitted to the PLC and not the (virtual) forced state. However, if one or several out-
puts change their state as a result of one or several inputs being forced, the changed state of these
outputs will also be transmitted to the PLC, as the actual physical state of the equipment outputs
has changed.
Simulation mode (offline mode)
You can test a gateway configuration offline in simulation mode. Use the logic analyzer for this pur-
pose and manually set the desired inputs to
High
or
Low
.
Read here how to work with the simulation mode and logic analyzer: Software manual, chapter
"Simulating logic programming"
Monitoring with an active connection (online mode)
You can also test a gateway configuration online by establishing a link between samosPLAN
6 and a
samosPRO system.
Read here how to activate the online mode and what you need to take into account: Software ma-
nual, chapter "Connecting to the safety controller"
NOTICE
LED behavior for active connections
If you are linked to a samosPRO installation, the status LEDs in the
Modules
view of samosPLAN
6
will light up in the same way as for the connected system.
Further information about the status LEDs may be found in the documentation for the relevant
module:
