You can simulate the program written by LD/SFC/ST in the SoftMaster. It s online editing by which you can edit during RUN mode and debugging function by which you can trace the program as step unit. •

PLC online function

You can use program monitoring function and online diagnosis function such as system monitoring, address monitoring, trend monitoring, data trace, and custom events. •

Module simulation

You can simulate the digital I/O module, A/D conversion module, D/A conversion module, counter, temperature control module, positioning module. By using simulation function, you can set the input value of each module. •

I/O input condition setting

You can set address value by setting specific address value or channel value of the module as input condition. If you use I/O input condition setting, you need not write other program to test PLC program. System configuration for execution of SoftMaster-SIM The system configuration required by SoftMaster-SIM is higher than that of SoftMaster. Minimum specification: Pentium 3900MHz, RAM 256MB. Recommended specification: Pentium 4, 1.5GHz, RAM 512MB and more.

ATTENTION In case of minimum specification, the fixed period scan may not operate properly because scan period may be longer than the fixed period and disconnection may occur. Despite using recommended specification, if system load is heavy, same phenomenon may occur. And regardless of system specification, according to setting like system’s SLEEP mode, disconnection can occur. When using fixed period, fixed period error/warning dialog box may not display.

19. Event Input Module 19.1 Overview The 2MLF-SOEA Module (event input module) is used for recording of events entered from outside. The event input module is a data recording device which can record event information (time and state) in 1ms resolution. The event input module is not a program device or external device used in the U. Using the SOE monitor, the event input is available only for monitoring and file saving. •

2MLK/I/R U: saves 3000 events at maximum (Up to 3000 events can be saved in the order of occurrence.)

•

2MLF-SOEA module: save 300 events at maximum.

Characteristics of SOE monitor 1.

This is a software package for the operation and monitoring of the 2MLF-SOEA module of 2MLT series.

2.

This package provides a function that enables independent operation of the SOE monitor, regardless of the SoftMaster.

3.

This enables data monitoring and saving.

Functions of the SOE monitor The SOE monitor is an exclusive software package which runs on a PC platform and communicates with the U of ML200 series for easy and fast operation of 2MLFSOEA. The major functions of the SOE monitor are as follows: 1.

It synchronizes data of M area. It can set from the position of first word to the position of final word. Select the check box, to determine whether to synchronize the M area or not. If you select the check box, it synchronizes from first area to final area. The default value is %MW0~%MW2000.

R Area

It synchronizes data of R area. It can set from the position of first word to the position of final word. Select the check box, to determine whether to synchronize the R area or not. If you select the check box, it synchronizes from first area to final area. The default value is %RW0~%RW2000.

W Area

If R area is set, synchronization area of W defines automatically.

PID Block

It synchronizes data of PID block. It can set from the first block to final block. Select the check box, to determine whether to synchronize the PID block area or not. If you select the check box, it synchronizes from block area to final block area. The default value is 0 block.
