16.3 Restrictions
Comparing to actual PLC, XG-SIM have the following restrictions.
16.3.1 Watchdog Timer
Watchdog timer is installed in XGI PLC to prevent a created PLC program from working abnormally. On the other hand, XG-SIM
executes scan at lower speed than actual XGI series PLC, so the watchdog timer set in the basic parameter does not work properly.
16.3.2 Communication module
XG-SIM does not provide any COM functions. Therefore, the following function blocks created by a program are saved as the internal
data of XG-SIM and they are not actually used for communication.
