8.1.9.3 Test Functions
The following test functions are available:
• Data flow test
• Message simulation
• Topology test
8.1.9.3.1 Status Of Spontaneous Data Points
With the tool "Data Flow Test" data streams (flow of messages) can be simultaneously logged
and visualized. For a subsequent analysis - also at another location - a recording can take
place with the Interface Recorder.
The function Simultaneous log serves for the recording of messages within the internal da-
ta flow of an automation unit. In protocol elements, the data flow from and to other automation
units can also be acquired.
The following data can (with change of the spontaneous data) be simultaneously logged:
• Change of state of inputs/outputs
• Communication from and to protocol elements
• Data traffic from and to the application program
• Data traffic from and to special functions (for example set counters, set time)
By means of triggering a General Interrogation all spontaneous input signals can be simulta-
neously logged at any arbitrary time.
You find the instruction for this test function in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
"Service Programs“, section "Data Flow Test".
You find further information in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and
Basic System Elements, chapter "System Services", section "Data Flow Test".
