P980 Simulate
Test mode is used to simulate the application and confirm that all parameters
and relay setpoints have been entered as expected. During simulation, there
is a choice of whether the relays will change state (hard simulation) or not
(soft simulation), but the LED’s will always switch according to how the
relays have been programmed, and the output will change accordingly. If
you want to test the logic of the system that the relays are connected to then
select a hard simulation, but if you don’t want to change the relay state, then
select a soft simulation.
There are two simulation modes, automatic and manual. Automatic
simulation will move the level up and down between empty and full level
and activate the relay and/or corresponding LED at the switchpoints
programmed, if you wish to change the direction of the level movement at
anytime this can be done by using the arrow keys. In manual simulation,
using the arrow keys will allow you to move the level up and down as
required.
The choices for you to enter are as follows.
1= Manual soft simulation
2= Automatic soft simulation
3= Manual hard simulation
4= Automatic hard simulation
To return to program mode, press CANCEL and test mode will end.
P981 Increment
By default, simulation mode will move by 0.25m steps in manual simulation
and by 0.25m/min in automatic simulation. Altering the increment can
change this value.
P982 Rate
In automatic mode, the rate at which the level will move up and down is
determined by distance, P981 Increment and the time, P982 Rate which
can be changed as required. To increase the rate at which the level moves
increase the Increment (P981) or decrease the Rate (P982). To decrease the
rate at which the level moves decrease the Increment (P981) or increase the
Rate (P982).
