8.7 Using Fieldbus Device Simulate Function
Some of the standard fieldbus function blocks support a signal simulation function for
testing purposes only. The following procedure shows the general steps involved in using
the simulate function with an Analog Input block in a Honeywell ST3000 transmitter. All
the illustrations used in the procedure are for example purposes only. You can easily
adapt this procedure to any applicable fieldbus device.
Only use the simulate function when the system is offline or in a safe
operating mode for testing purposes.
