10 Virtual time what does it mean and how can it be used? Two types of clocks are used for the simulation: Virtual clock: Basis for the user program; à Duration between two cycle control points is measured in virtual time Real clock: Communication with STEP 7 OB 1 OB 1 Cycle control point Internal process image of the virtual controller read IOs API write IOs How can the virtual time be used? Gradual debugging of the STEP 7 program; the virtual controller can be stopped (freeze state) at the cycle control point, which is at the end of a OB1 call, and I/Os can be read or manipulated à The freeze state is also used for synchronization with the simulation partners. à A freeze state stops the virtual controller at a cycle control point: Virtual time is stopped No OBs are running, no timers User program is not executed any longer Virtual controller is in a state with consistent input and output data Page 10

11 How can the virtual time be used? Manipulation of the virtual time Slow motion (scaling factor < 1): e.g. scaling factor 0.5 = virtual time is slowed down by 50% à Cyclic OBs are called less frequently during a OB1 cycle Fast mode (scaling factor > 1): e.g. scaling factor 2 = virtual time runs twice as fast à Cyclic OBs are called more frequently during a OB1 cycle Note: OB1 always runs at the same speed and only depends on the performance of the PC à if you change the scaling factor, more or fewer cycle control points are reached within a fixed time period Slow motion 0.01 Slow motion Fast mode OB 1 OB 1 Cyclic OB Virtual time Virtual time Fast mode 100 Cycle control point OB 1 OB 1 Cycle control point Page 11

51 Your questions our answers 1. Is it possible to simulate blocks from a SIEMENS library like SIWAREX which are know how protect? We cannot remove know how protect from those blocks. In this case the Owner of the Siemens library block (e.g. SIWAREX) has to flag the block with the property Support simulation during block compilation. If this is not done, it is not possible to simulate this library block with PLCSIM Advanced 2. There is the possibility to connect a PLC SIM Advanced to communicate with a real CPU, Do you have an example of this? I have no example but this scenario is not so difficult to realize. The only thing to consider is to start the PLCSIM Advanced Instance with Online Access PLCSIM Virtual Ethernet Adapter and to activate the virtual switch ( TCP/IP communication with: ) on the physical network card which is connected to the real PLC. 3. Where can we have more info on this please? In the function manual some basics are described. Page 51
