Simulator Control for Modicon Momentum CPU
Original instructions
Introduction
The dialog box is shown if the simulator is simulating a CPU from the Modicon Momentum family.
Representation of the dialog box:
CPU Front Plate
The RUN display is always on, green when a project is loaded in the simulator.
The SER COM display is flashing yellow when data is exchanged between Control Expert (or other clients) and the simulator.
The other grayed displays of the front plate are not supported by the simulator.
Card Acc and Memory Card
The Card Acc and memory card are represented but they do not concern Modicon Momentum CPUs.
Reset
The Reset button is represented but it does not concern Modicon Momentum CPUs.
Power Cycle
With this button, you simulate a warm start of the CPU. It means that the connection between Control Expert and the simulator is broken, the current project variables remain and the simulator goes into the state RUN (autostart active) or STOP (autostart deactivated).
A power cycle corresponds to a power off and power on of a real power supply.
Simulation
Dialog box fields: Host PC name: DNS name of the host PC for the simulator. If the PC has multiple network cards, only the first is shown. Host IP address: TCP/IP address of the host PC for the simulator. If the PC has multiple network cards, only the first is shown. Project name: Name of the project loaded in the simulator.
Clients Connected
The list shows current clients connected with the PC (PCs which are connected via TCP/IP with the host PC of the simulator). The DNS name and TCP/IP address are shown for each client.
