Overview

The Simulator Driver gives you many options for data types and ranges, and it gives you control over which simulation values you can generate. 

Pick from a list of data types — including Strings! — and set the Min & Max values you would like the data types to range through.

Do you want to simulate a real-world analog device and its response to a 4-20mA varying current? You can!

Or do you prefer to use a range that was 0-25 mA so you can simulate a wire break with 0 mA? Because you can too!

Points Configuration

The syntax for the TSimulator communication points is: <Type>:<Min>;<Max>

Example:

Image RemovedImage Added

Where:

• <Type>: Represents the Simulation Type:
• • BOOL: The tag receives a random BOOL value, 0 or 1.
  • INTEGER: The tag receives a random integer value from 0 to 5.
  • FLOAT: The tag receives a random float value from 0 to 5.
  • STRING: The tag receives a random string with 10 string lengths.
  • RAMP: The tag receives values from 0 to 10 in ascending order.
  • SINE: The tag receives values based on the sine function, its behavior is similar to a wave.
• <Min> and <Max>: Represents the upper and lower limits that the mapped tag can reach;
• <Step>: It's only used if the selected type is Ramp. It defines the value incremented at each step of the simulation (must be an integer value).
