4.1.9.3.2 Simulation of Spontaneous Data Points
With the tool "Message Simulation", messages can be transmitted from the
SICAM TOOLBOX II to automation units. Just one message or up to 100 messages in suc-
cession can be transmitted; in addition sequential delays and message repetitions can be de-
fined.
The messages can be passed in at defined points of the system. With this function the follow-
ing possibilities exist:
• Setting of outputs
• Simulation of the 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)
Pay attention that due to the simulation the plant state can change.
Warning
The manual controlling of outputs with the plant running can lead to damage to persons and machines.
Ensure that aggregates in the control area of the command output and those subsequent aggregates in
the process chain are protected and that persons in the vicinity are warned.
You find the instruction for this test function in the SICAM TOOLBOX II Online Help, chapter
"Service Programs“, section "Message Simulation".
You find further information in the manual SICAM RTUs Common Functions System and
Basic System Elements, chapter "System Services", section "Message Simulation".
4.1.9.3.3 Check The Connection To Automation Units
The tool "Topology Test" is used for the acquisition of all automation units in a SICAM RTUs
automation network that are reachable or non-reachable from the automation unit momentarily
physically connected.
