Power Cycle

Introduction

With Power Cycle, you execute a power cycle (power off/ power on) for the simulated PLC (and the simulator). This corresponds to a warm start of the PLC (the connection between Control Expert and simulator is broken and the current project variables remain).

A power cycle corresponds to the reset button of a Premium power supply or the unplugging and plugging in of a power supply.

You can execute a power cycle with

the menu command Power Cycle in the context menu of the simulator symbol in the task bar or the simulator symbol
the command button Power Cycle in the simulator dialog

NOTE: In case of a safety PLC, power cycle simulates a cold start. Project variables are reset.
