Disable the SIMULATE parameter.
(Set transmitter for normal operation.)
Enable the SIMULATE parameter.
(For testing or debugging purposes.)
Enabling simulation mode
The SIMULATE parameter in AI block are enabled by setting the hardware simulation jumper to
the "ON" position.
In addition, the AI block SIMULATE parameter must be set to the following values:
SIMULATE.STATUS = Good::[alarm status]:constant (suggested setting)
SIMULATE.SIMULATE_VALUE = (supplied by user) Used as the input to the AI
block.
SIMULATE.ENABLE_DISABLE = Active Enabled.
Simulation mode truth table
Table 41 shows the states of the simulation jumper and SIMULATE parameter shows how to
activate the simulation mode.
When the Simulation
Jumper on Transducer
board is set to:
"OFF" Position
"ON" Position
Setting Al block mode
To connect the AI -block input to the output, the AI block must be in AUTO mode.
