Panel for configuring the simulator

Peripheral addresses (_address) plus filter computing functions (_smooth) and conversions (_msg_conv and _cmd_conv) can be configured in the PARA module. A driver or simulator must be running to do this.

The Option "Address active" is checked. The address is used by the driver (see Reference tables). An  inactive address is existing, the attributes can be set or get, but the driver does not use these. That means for this data point you cannot send any values to the PLC, resp. receive from the PLC.  

Reference

Enter the data point name, which was used when declaring the object name (ExampleDP_Arg1,  ExampleDP_AlertHdl1 and AlertHdl2) in the periphery list, into the reference field.

The simulator forwards to the Event Manager data that it receives in the form of an ASCII file (see Structure of the simulation file) passed by the user (see Starting the manager). If more than one simulator is being operated at once, then note that only the simulator with number 1 is implicitly connected to the data point that it is addressing. Every other driver must be assigned a different number in the range 2 to 99.
