CHAPTER 8 SIMULATION FUNCTION
8.1 Simulation Function
The simulation function is for debugging a sequence program using the virtual
programmable controller on a personal computer.
The created sequence program can be immediately debugged without connecting a
programmable controller CPU.
NOTE
Safety and handling precautions of the simulation function
1) The simulation function simulates the actual programmable controller CPU
to debug a created sequence program. However, this function does not
guarantee the operation of the debugged sequence program.
2) The simulation function uses the memory for simulation to input and output
data to/from the I/O module and intelligent function module. Some
instructions, functions, and device memories are not supported. Therefore,
the operation results obtained from the virtual programmable controller may
differ from those obtained from the actual programmable controller CPU.
8.2 Starting/Stopping Simulation
1) Click!
1) Click [Debug] → [Start/Stop Simulation].
2) The GX Simulator2 screen is displayed, and the
simulation starts.
3) To stop the simulation, click [Debug] → [Start/Stop
Simulation] again.
