Input Simulator
A convenient method of testing a program is to wire toggle
switches to the inputs. Input simulators with pre-wired toggle
switches are available for use with S7-200 PLCs. Switches are
wired between the 24 VDC power supply (L+) and the inputs.
For example, the switch on the far left is wired between the
first input (0.0) and L+. When the switch is closed, 24 VDC is
applied to the input. When the switch is open, 0 VDC is applied
to the input.
Output devices, such as relays, are connected to the terminal
strip under the top cover of the PLC. When testing a program,
it is not necessary to connect output devices. The LED status
indicators signal if an output is active.
