New DeltaV SimulatePro features for operator training and control development and checkout.
Save and Restore – Allows a snapshot to be created of the control modules assigned to one or more PC nodes.
Convert – Automatically transforms blocks assigned to fieldbus to to their equivalent DeltaV function block. Also, changes external I/O reference parameters so that applications may read and write these parameters.

accessed by right clicking on the PC node in DeltaV Explorer.
All blocks assigned to fieldbus are changed to their equivalent controller blocks
All external I/O references are redefined as external parameter references

list of assigned modules.
Converted modules show up as needing to be downloaded since the modules have been changed.

All blocks execute as they would in fieldbus.
Control logic may be checked out by enabling Simulate in input blocks
Blocks execute exactly as they will in fieldbus devices.
Example of Module Using External I/O ReferencesExample of Module Using External I/O ReferencesExample of Module Using External I/O ReferencesExample of Module Using External I/O References External I/O references
are commonly used in modules.
Provide a means of including input/output from PLC’s, sub-systems, and fieldbus e.g. Asi, DeviceNet, Profibus.
In a simulation environment, these external I/O references are invalid. DeltaV SimulatePro Convert addresses this issue.
Reference Module
Conversion of Modules with I/O ReferencesConversion of Modules with I/O ReferencesConversion of Modules with I/O ReferencesConversion of Modules with I/O References I/O references are
automatically converted to external parameter references – no impact on displays that use these parameters.
A new module is automatically created that contains all parameter referenced by modules assigned to the node
The new module’s name is “M_ PC machine name”

parameters in the new modules may be read and written from control studio – allowing control logic to be checked out.
Process Simulate packages may read and write these reference parameters using OPC.
Modules may be created that use these parameters to duplicate the logic contained in the PLC, subsystem etc.

SummarySummarySummarySummary
The DeltaV SimulatePro Save and Restore features are useful for operator training and in engineering development and control checkout.
The SimulatePro Convert feature allows blocks assigned Fieldbus and External I/O references to be automatically modified so they can be utilized in the DeltaV Simulate environment
