6. User Interface
6.1. Languages of User Interface
SIMAsoft is available in the languages English, German and Spanish. For each version there is an
own setup (no change of language while running!). The language of the installed WindowXP operation
system normally corresponds with that of the SIMAsoft (as specified at ordering).
For the following be sure, that the commissioned devices are connected to SIMA.
6.2. SIMA status window
After booting the system the SimaSoft starts with the main window ACTUATOR OVERVIEW which
displays status information about all identified actuators. With the buttons shown at the bottom of the
screen the displayed range of actuators may be selected. The range is defined by the ID (eg. Modbus
or Profibus DP address) of the actuators. Each view contains a maximum of 17 actuators.
A
CTUATOR OVERVIEW for Cable Redundancy:
Global DCS/SIMA switch
The source of control for the actuators is either the DCS or the SIMA itself. This is indicated like this in
ACTUATOR OVERVIEW:
Global parameter “Control” below the SIMA symbol(s):
DCS* = Control via remote control system
* or “SCADA, depending on project
SIMA = Control local control by SIMA
For both, control by DCS and by SIMA, parameter “State” shows the status of SIMA and fieldbus.
Values are: init, get master state, idle, listen, scan init, scan AB,
scan CD (Master redundancy), stop, check master state, init DAQ, DAQ
(cyclic data exchange OK), wait AT (during auto configuration), wait ready.
Parameter “DCS” above shows communication state to DCS, Values here: init, idle, int.
slave, ext. slave, init int. slave, init ext. slave, wait ready.
Individual setting directly below the symbol for each single actuator:
“SIMA”, in grey – valid for this actuator is the global setting (see above)
“SIMA”, in blue type: this actuator has been “uncoupled” of the system. Control only via SIMA
This parameter is set in Window ACTUATOR: (see clause 6.4, p. 17)
How switching between DCS and SIMA mode works
Attention: If for an actuator x the individually set source of control is “SIMA”, the SIMA
takes over control of this actuator x, regardless the global setting.
By this concept it is, e.g., possible to uncouple a single actuator from the system.
