Di󹪜erent operating modes

• Local / Remote : In Local mode, the block control is switched o󹪜. SIMOCODE-DP is controlled

through the local control station or the operator panel.

In Remote mode, SIMOCODE-DP is controlled through the PLC / CPU control station of the

block.

• Automatic : In Automatic mode, SIMOCODE-DP is controlled by a program through linked

block signals.

• Manual : In Manual mode, SIMOCODE-DP is controlled by an operator through the OS, or

linked block inputs.

The SIMOCODE-DP is controlled and monitored using data from the process image. Moreover,

data records containing statistical and diagnostic information can be read or written by

means of acyclic DPV1 services (if integrated through GSD sie?8069.gs?).

4.1.4 Principle of Operation

In program 󹪝le Blocks+Templates\Templates, the SIMOCODE DP PCS 7 Library Migration (Legacy)

provides templates for each control function.

The control function dependent parameters, and the messages to appear on the faceplates,

are preset with suitable values in the templates. These templates can be used as models

for making customized automation solutions. To do this, copy the SIMO_CHN block for the

desired control function from the corresponding CFC plan, and insert it in your own CFC plan.

The control function (OVL, DIR, REV, STAR, DAHL, POL, VALVE, POS, SOFT) is con󹪝gured at

the block through input "SIMO_FCT". Depending on the setting selected, the corresponding

functions are enabled in the block and the various displays in the OS components.

4.1.5 Module Failure

If an invalid process value is indicated by MODE, outputs QCSF and CUR_QC are set.

4.1.6 Simulation

Simulation mode is switched on through the SIM_ON input and has higher priority than all other

modes.

If SIM_ON=TRUE, the block processes the simulation values (SIM_I01: binary data;

SIM_I23: motor current) instead of the SIMOCODE-DP process values (INBT2_01,

INBT2_23). QSIM and CUR_QC are output accordingly. The process outputs to SIMOCODE-

DP (OBT2_01, OBT2_23) are output as "0" when simulation is switched on.

Output QBAD is set depending on QCSF and QSIM (QBAD= QCSF AND NOT QSIM). In normal

operation (SIM_ON=FALSE), the value corresponds to output QCSF and indicates an invalid

process value. A simulation value can thus be treated as a valid process value for testing

purposes, in the event of an error.
