Operating an existing IEC project with simulated axes

Operating an existing IEC project with simulated axes allows among others for testing a project already running in the system. Simulating axes lets you perform tests with the IEC project at the office using the MOVI‑C® CONTROLLER and a limited number of axes.

Proceed as follows:

  1. Open the MOVISUITE® project.
  2. Open the network view of MOVISUITE®.
  3. In the network view, open the context menu of a device or an axis that is to be simulated.
  4. Choose [Delete] from the context menu.
    • The device or axis is deleted from the network view which means that the relation with the function view is canceled.
  5. Perform the previous 2 steps for each device or axis to be simulated.
  6. Create the IEC project as described in chapter Creating an IEC project in "Startup" mode with simulated axes.
