Configure Simulation
with the Model 375 Field
Communicator
Use the following procedure to configure PWA simulation using the Model 375
Field Communicator.
1. Run "Transmitter Options" method in the Resource Block (Resource |
Methods).
2. In the "Transmitter Options" menu, select either "Simulate Switch" or
"PWA Simulate".
3. Select "Enable" to enable PWA simulation or "Disable" to disable the
simulation feature.
4. Once the method is complete, select "Resource | Simulate PWA" in the
Resource Block. If the simulation is enabled, the "PWA Simulate"
parameter is configurable. Otherwise it is read-only.
5. Now select Simulation on/off from the "PWA Simulate" parameter. When
PWA Simulation is on, all of the PWA active parameters and the
Resource and Transducer Block status parameters are configurable.
Otherwise they are read-only.
6. To simulate PlantWeb Alerts, select the alerts listed under “Failed
Active”, “Maintenance Active” and “Advisory Active” (Resource |
Simulate PWA).
7. To simulate block alarms, select the alarms listed under “Detailed
Status” in the Resource Block (Resource | Simulate Status) or under
“Detailed Status” in the Transducer Block (Transducer | Simulate
Status).
8. Select Resource|PWA SubStatus to see the active PWA alarms and
masks. Select Fail Active, Maintenance Active or Advisory Active for
active PWA alarms.
9. Select Resource | Status | Detailed Status or Transducer | Status |
