Description

Simulation Mode

Toggles the system between Simulation Profile and Original Profile.

Overwrite device configuration ...

Sets the current profile again. All corresponding settings that are part of the TwinCAT Simulation manager configuration project will be reassigned.

PLC Project mappings ...

Opens the dialog for maintaining the Original PLC to Simulation PLC assignments.

Write simulation state to PLCs

Writes the simulation flag into all configured PLCs (see PLC simulation library TcSimMan.lib). The dwSimState flag will be set to the appropriate state (0: for original profile, 1: for simulation profile)

Add simulation variables...

Opens the "Add Symbols to Simulation" Dialog. This function is used for maintaining subsequently added Original-PLC symbols into the Simulation-PLC.

Select target Systems ...

Opens the Dialog to Add / Remove target systems.

Create default mappings

Creates the standard bindings between Original-PLCs and Simulation-PLCs for the current project (see Default Mappings). Eventually predefined bindings will be deleted.

Reset Simulation settings

All simulation settings will be reset.

Check Configuration

Checks the TwinCAT Simulation Manager configuration for consistency.

Rescan PLC projects

The symbols of all PLCs are re-loaded.
