Start FactoryTalk Batch Phase Simulator

FactoryTalk Batch
 comes with a phase logic simulation program, referred to as the
FactoryTalk Batch
 Phase Simulator used to simulate the batch process without connecting to a PCD. The Phase Simulator imitates the functionality of a data server and can communicate with the
FactoryTalk Batch
 Server using OPC communication protocol. The Phase Simulator is a powerful tool for testing, experimentation and demonstration purposes. In this guide, run the sample demonstration using the Phase Simulator.
TIP:
If the Phase Simulator is required and OPC protocol is used for communications, the
FactoryTalk Batch
 Server automatically starts the Phase Simulator. Check the Windows taskbar to see if the Phase Simulator is started.
To run the sample demonstration correctly, open the
ice_cream1.sim
 file in the Phase Simulator.
