3.5 Simulate HMI screen
Introduction
The following steps show you how to test the created HMI screen with the Runtime
Simulator. Use the Runtime Simulator to simulate the activation of the PLC input for the light
barrier "LS1". For more information on the Runtime Simulator see the "Simulate runtime
(Page 87)" section.
Procedure
To start the simulation of the created HMI screen, follow these steps:
1. Start the runtime simulation via the menu bar. The HMI device window must be active for
this purpose. If the menu is inactive, first click on a free area within the HMI screen.
2. Set the value of the "LS_1" tag to "1". Click Enter to confirm the set value.
3. Switch to the "RT Simulator" window.
