You can monitor your gateway configuration directly in samosPLAN5+. This can be done in
simulation mode (limited monitoring option) or by means of an active link to a samosPRO sys-
tem.
NOTICE
The samosPRO gateways always show the actual physical state of the inputs and outputs of
the connected modules and equipment. This means that even when the force mode is active
and inputs that are physically
Low
are forced to
High
(or vice versa), the actual physical state
of these inputs is transmitted to the PLC and not the (virtual) forced state. However, if one or
several outputs change their state as a result of one or several inputs being forced, the chan-
ged state of these outputs will also be transmitted to the PLC, as the actual physical state of
the equipment outputs has changed.
Simulation mode (offline mode)
You can test a gateway configuration offline in simulation mode. Use the logic analyzer for this
purpose and manually set the desired inputs to
High
or
Low
.
Read here how to work with the simulation mode and logic analyzer: Software manual, chapter
"Simulating configuration"
Monitoring with an active connection (online mode)
You can also test a gateway configuration online by establishing a link between samosPLAN5+
and a samosPRO system.
Read here how to activate the online mode and what you need to take into account: Software
manual, chapter "Connect with the safety control"
NOTICE
LED behavior for active connections
If you are linked to a samosPRO installation in online mode, the state LEDs in the
Hardware
view of samosPLAN5+ will light up in the same way as for the connected system.
Further information about the state LED may be found in the documentation for the relevant
module:
• Modbus TCP gateway [ch. 6.4, p. 59]
• PROFIBUS-DB gateway [ch. 9.4, p. 127]
