16. Emulation
16.1 Overview
16.1.1 Using emulation
With emulation you can run your controller(s) in a virtual operation mode. During emulation you can simulate various real-world
actions, such as starting or stopping of the genset without actually having the genset connected. You can also test and configure
your controller, and mimic inputs or outputs that are configured.
More information
See the PICUS manual for more information.
16.1.2 Live power detected (emulation)
This alarm informs the operator that live power was detected during emulation.
The controller activates this alarm if Configure > Parameters > Test functions > Emulation > Emulation active is Enabled and
live power is detected on ACM3.1.
The alarm is always enabled. You cannot see or change the alarm parameters.
16.1.3 Emulation disabled (live power)
This alarm informs the operator that emulation has been disabled (because live power was detected during emulation).
The controller activates this alarm if Configure > Parameters > Test functions > Emulation > Emulation active is Enabled and
live power is detected on ACM3.1. The alarm changes the emulation parameter to Not enabled on all controllers in the system.
The alarm is always enabled. You cannot see or change the alarm parameters.
