Activating simulation mode

When you configure a system with the XTS Simulation Builder, the simulation mode is automatically activated and it is not necessary to manually activate the simulation mode.

Activating simulation mode 1:
►Expand Solution Explorer > TwinCAT Project > SYSTEM > ­TcCOM Objects
►Double click on XtsProcessingUnit
Activating simulation mode 2:
►Click the Parameter (Init) tab in the project window
►Expand General
►Select Simulation in the drop-down menu OperationMode
►Set all other XTS Processing Units that are to run in simulation mode to simulation mode in the same way


Beckhoff recommends disabling the corresponding hardware of the XTS system in the I/O configuration to avoid accidental activation. All virtual devices must be disabled to activate an I/O configuration without existing hardware.
