Procedure
To simulate the pressure sensor, make the following settings:
1. Select pressure sensor simulation.
2. Set the simulation mode and the parameters:
– Simulation mode "Fixed" and parameter pressure value
– Simulation mode "Ramp" and ramp parameters
3. Transmit the settings from the program into the transmitter.
The behavior of the measured value (primary variable), the secondary variables 1, 2, and 3,
and of the output, can be observed in SIMATIC PDM.
To return to normal operation afterwards, you must turn off the simulation.

Simulating sensor and electronics temperature
By simulating the sensor and electronics temperature you can, for instance, check the
influence of excessive temperature on the measurement results:
