FactoryTalk Batch Phase Simulator interface
Upon startup, the
FactoryTalk Batch
Phase Simulator reads the area model that is specified in the Batchsvr.ini file. The area
model file name is displayed on the title bar. By default, when you first install the
software it is set up to read ice_cream1.cfg, one of the sample area models shipped with FactoryTalk Batch
. This file contains the equipment required to run the Sampledemo1 recipe. The Simulator
simulates the RUNNING, STOPPING, HOLDING, ABORTING, and RESTARTING states for all phases
configured in the recipe.
TIP:
The Simulator simulates only phase states for area models that have no more than 50 parameters and 50 report parameters.
The Simulator menu bar consists of these options:
Option | Definition |
File | Open a simulator (.sim) file, save a file, or exit the Simulator. |
Edit | Edit phase configuration, phase status, or unit tag status. |
Protocols | Enable or disable the Watchdog and Command Handshake functions. |
Help | Open the Simulator About box. |
