Internal data point elements of the simulator
There are three data points of internal data point type _Simulator per default.
Data point element | Data type | Description |
---|---|---|
FileName | string |
Allows to specify a new simulation file which will be used instead of the file defined in the manager start options. You have to define the file as follows: <WinCC_OA_Proj>\<File name>.txt Example: D:\MyProjects\SimTest\simulator.txt |
Signal | bool | This data point element allows to start (set the value to 1) or stop (set value 1 again) the simulation. |
Command | string |
Commands specified here are directly executed. The format of the commands matches the entries in the simulation file. Example: 0 a4 t "Hello world" 0 0 "2010.04.27;17:55:00,000" This command writes a "Hello world" string including the given time stamp on the data point element with peripheral address "a4". Note: Commands are only executed if the config entry autoHWObjects = "Y" is set. |
