SoCalJim Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Can I run the code without the HMI host? Can I simulate the hardware? I want to test my code before running it on actual hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 It is required to have the PLC to run any ladder logic or HMI operations for all of our products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2022 Flex727 Posted May 18, 2016 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 However, you do not need any I/O modules or other hardware. Just obtain the appropriate PLC, power with 12-24 volts, and connect with your PC or laptop. You can fully test with that setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I have connected V700 to PC with USB and Online test (F9) works fine. But how to change input contacts without connecting wires to the hardware input, for testing purpose? tnx Dejan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2022 Joe Tauser Posted October 24, 2016 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 This is really a Visilogic question, but I can't move only one thread. You can force an input on or off by first clicking on it while online. The little status dialog box will pop up. Right click on the dialog box and you'll get a small menu allowing you to force the input on and off, as well as cancelling the force. Joe T.

MVP 2022 Flex727 Posted October 24, 2016 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Forcing inputs on and off during Online Test can be a bit of a pain. I wish we could force inputs with a single left click just like Memory Bits. This is another good reason to buffer your I/O. If the input is buffered, then you can insert a test MB to turn the input buffer bit on and off easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
