Introduction
When constructing and maintaining safety systems, debugging and testing are very important.
ProSafe-RS provides functions for debugging and testing efficiently.
In ProSafe-RS, tests are classified according to targets used during testing as follows.
Target test
This test type uses actual devices.
SCS simulation test
This test type uses an SCS simulator running on a PC. An SCS simulation test is executed
in a CENTUM integration environment.
Note that this test involves an SCS simulator along with an FCS simulator and an HIS
simulator, while PC is logically disconnected from the control buses, is called a virtual test.
Logic simulation test
This test type uses a logic simulator running on a PC. Logic simulation tests are primarily
used in POU module tests.
This document is a reference manual that explains system test functions of ProSafe-RS. It
contains information on types of test function that can be used with ProSafe-RS and operation
procedures as a reference document.
To carry out ProSafe-RS tests, please read the test function section of Engineering Guide
(IM 32S01C10-21E) first. Read the appropriate sections of this manual to examine related
information, learn about operation details and obtain deeper understanding.

Overview of ProSafe-RS System

Tests
The purpose of the test functions of ProSafe-RS is to support testing operations of applications created by users.
In ProSafe-RS tests, you can select a test target and check whether applications and devices operate correctly with respect to the target using the test support functions.
In the case of SCS projects integrated with CENTUM VP/CS 3000, it is possible to execute
tests that also involve the CENTUM VP/CS 3000 (hereinafter referred to as CENTUM) test
function.

Figure Classification of ProSafe-RS Tests
l Scope of Target Tests

In a target test, it is possible to test all applications if appropriate hardware is implemented and
connected.
l Scope of SCS Simulation Tests

An SCS simulation test can test inter-SCS safety communication and external connection
functions; with this test, it is possible to execute integration test with virtual HISs of CENTUM on
a PC. It is also possible to run multiple SCS simulators on a single PC to execute integration test
for multiple SCSs. Note, however, that a CENTUM integration environment is required to execute
SCS simulation tests.
IMPORTANT
Do not execute SCS simulation tests using a PC connected to a control bus (V net and Vnet/IP)
that actually executes plant operations.
TIP
The SCS simulation test for SCSP2 can be performed only when the system is integrated with a CENTUM VP
R4.02 or newer system.

IMPORTANT
In ProSafe-RS, target tests are mandatory. The user must eventually execute an operational test
of all applications using target tests.
However, in order to construct a proper environment for target tests, facilities, locations and time
are required. Be sure to conduct sufficient application unit tests and integration tests using the
simulators on PC in order to execute application debugging and operational tests efficiently.
To perform simulation tests on PC, use either logic simulation tests or SCS simulation tests to
their respective best uses, according to the test purpose.

executed at the same time. Note that this capacity is a logical restriction and does not provide
any performance guarantees.
If the number of simulators launched is more than this restriction, it is necessary to use the
expanded test functions of CENTUM to execute tests on multiple PCs.

Figure Test Environment for Single PC
Since several simulators can be launched on a single PC, most application debugging tasks can
be handled using a single PC. Tests related to referencing/setting data from an FCS can also be
executed by launching the FCS simulator.
However, only one SCS Manager can be used at the same time on a PC. Tests of inter-SCS
safety communication and SCS link transmission can be executed by switching between target
SCSs on SCS Manager. When testing multiple SCSs, it is recommended to use the expanded
test functions on two or more PCs so that the tests are performed more efficiently.

n Target Tests
To execute a target test, an SENG is required along with the actual devices to be tested.
A general-purpose PC is required. The hardware requirements are the same as for the generalpurpose PC on which SENG is installed.
The SCS to be tested is also required.
Install the ProSafe-RS Safety System Generation and Maintenance Package (CHS5100).
In addition, the SENG software package required for engineering the test target SCS is
necessary.

<1.4 SCS Project for the Test>
SCS Project for the Test
In order to execute a test, it is necessary to set up an SCS project for test.

The attributes for SCS projects and test types that can be executed in each project vary. It
is thus necessary to set project attributes according to test phase.
It is also necessary to generate and create a database for each test, which is done by setting SCS resource properties according to the test to be executed.
n SCS Project Attributes

The following three attributes can be set for SCS projects.
Default project
Current project
User-defined project
l Default Project
The default attribute is set for an SCS project which is newly created in SCS Manager.
l Current Project
When off-line download is successfully completed for a default project, the attribute of the SCS
project is changed from default to current. SCS projects on which SCS actual operations are
performed are specified as current projects.
l User-defined Project
A user-defined project is an SCS project created by the Test Project Creating Tool in order to
execute SCS simulation tests. Generally, it is created to execute an SCS simulation test on an
SCS project for which off-line download has been executed.
SEE
ALSO
For details of project attributes, see the following:

n SCS Project Attribute in 1.3, Type of Project of the Engineering Guide (IM 32S01C10-21E)
For details of the Test Project Creating Tool, see the following:
5.1, Test Project Creating Tool
IM 32S04B30-21E
1-11
n Test Database
Test databases are related to individual tests in the following manner.
A target test is executed using the database used for actual operation of SCSs.
An SCS simulation test is executed using the database for SCS simulation tests.
A logic simulation test can be executed using both the database for SCS simulation tests
and the database used for actual operation.
l Creation of Test Database

To create a test database, specify the Target name in Resource Properties of SCS Manager and
execute a build operation.
In the case of actual operation of SCS (target tests possible): SCS_TARGET
In the case of SCS simulation tests: SCS_SIMULATOR
SEE
ALSO
For details of Resource Properties dialog, see the following:

n Setting a Resource in 3.1.1, SCS Project Creation Procedure of the Engineering Reference (IM
32S04B10-21E)
n Operations that can be Executed for Each SCS Project Attribute

The types of tests that can be executed vary depending on the SCS project attributes. The tests
that can be executed for each SCS project attribute setting are explained below along with the
corresponding operational procedures.
l Default Project
When the default attribute is set to the SCS project, logic simulation tests and SCS
simulation tests can be executed.
To execute an SCS simulation test, first set the Target name of Resource Properties to
SCS_SIMULATOR and then perform a build operation.
When both types of tests have been completed, set the Target name of Resource Properties
to SCS_TARGET, perform a build operation and then off-line download operation on an
SCS.
l Current Project
When the current attribute is set to the SCS project, logic simulation tests and target tests
can be executed. SCS simulation tests cannot be executed.
When the current attribute is set to the SCS project, the Target name cannot be changed.
To execute SCS simulation tests, use the Test Project Creating Tool to generate a userdefined project.
IM 32S04B30-21E
1-12
l User-defined Project
When the user-defined project attribute is set, logic simulation tests and SCS simulation
tests can be executed. Target tests cannot be executed.
When the user-defined project attribute is set, it is not possible to communicate with the
actual SCS.
To execute an SCS simulation test, first set the Target name of Resource Properties to
SCS_SIMULATOR and then perform a build operation.
If the Target name of Resource Properties is SCS_TARGET, only logic simulation tests can
be executed.
When the user-defined project attribute is set, off-line download cannot be performed. When
a test using a simulator is completed and a target test is to be executed, it is necessary to
reflect the data of the user-defined project to the current project.
SEE
ALSO
For details on how to reflect the data of a user-defined project to a current project, see the following:
n Operations Required after SCS Simulation Tests (User-defined Project) in 3.1.2, Engineering
Procedure after SCS Simulation Tests
n Specific Test Procedures

This section explains the practical test procedures using two examples: a new SCS project and
existing SCS project.
l New SCS Project

The project attribute of a newly created SCS project is automatically set to default.
1.
Using the default project, execute a logic simulation test.
2.
Change the Target name from SCS_TARGET to SCS_SIMULATOR to perform a build

operation and execute an SCS simulation test.
3.
To perform off-line download to the actual SCS after an SCS simulation test is completed,
change the Target name from SCS_SIMULATOR to SCS_TARGET and build again.
4.
After off-line download is performed with the default project attribute, the project attribute
changes to current.
l SCS Project to which Off-line Download has been Executed

The project attribute of an SCS project to which off-line download has already been completed is
set to current. The procedure to perform engineering tasks on a current project and execute an
SCS simulation test on a modified project, is as follows.
SEE

Logic Simulation Test Operations

You can use Logic simulator to test application logics in SCS Projects of all attributes.
Logic simulator cannot run simultaneously with the SCS simulator.
Use the Logic simulator to test mainly programs, function blocks, or functions (that is
POU). This chapter describes how to operate Logic simulation tests.
SEE
ALSO
For the information about precautions for tests, see the following:
4.4, Precautions for Tests of the Engineering Guide (IM 32S01C10-21E)
n Generate an SCS Database for a Logic Simulation Test

After creating an application logic, execute a build operation on the application logic to generate
an SCS database. An SCS database for the logic simulator is automatically created at the same
time.
SEE
ALSO
For more information about the build operation, see the following:

n Debug and Test

Debug and test the applications that run on the logic simulator using the application debug,
forcing and online monitoring functions. You can debug and test application logic by using
application debug, forcing and online monitoring functions. The forcing function is available from
Dictionary View and Multi-Language Editor. SCS maintenance support tool can not be used for
logic simulation test.

l Actions on Abnormal Calculation

On the logic simulation test, the behaviors at abnormal calculation are different from the actions
on an actual SCS.
On division by zero and accessing the outside of an array
All the POUs will pause (change to Cycle To Cycle mode.) Operation of the POUs needs to
be resumed using SCS Manager.
On overflow in the floating-point calculation
The calculation result becomes infinity. The calculations that use this abnormal result will
produce abnormal results. However, POU will not stop.
On overflow in type conversion
The calculation result becomes abnormal. If a REAL value outside the range of DINT is
passed to ANY_TO_DINT, a negative maximum value will result. However, the POU will not
stop.
n End the Logic Simulation Test

Select [Stop Simulation] of [Debug] menu in SCS Manager or Multi-Language Editor. The logic
simulator exits automatically and the mode transits from the logic simulation mode to the edit
mode.

<3. SCS Simulation Tests>
SCS Simulation Tests

An SCS simulation test is executed by launching SCS simulators that simulate operations
of SCSs on a PC. The test can only be executed in CENTUM integration environments. In
systems that are configured only with ProSafe-RS, SCS simulation tests cannot be executed. Use logic simulation tests and target tests instead.
This chapter explains engineering procedures for SCS simulation tests, along with the
test procedures and test support functions that can be used during testing.
n What is SCS Simulation Test?

This section provides an overview of SCS simulation tests and explains items that can be
checked with SCS simulation tests.
l Intended Use of SCS Simulators

SCS simulators can be used for the following two purposes.
Debugging applications
In an SCS simulation test, it is possible to use SCS simulators to debug SCS applications
without using actual SCS hardware or control bus communication cards. Note that, since
SCS simulators do not have the input/output interface with the field devices, they cannot be
used for the purpose of controlling actual plants.
Plant training system
It is possible to incorporate SCS simulators in a plant training system created with interfaces
provided by the Exatif CS 3000 package, thus achieving a training system integrating the
CENTUM and ProSafe-RS systems.
SEE
ALSO
SCS simulators are equipped with functions for interfacing with plant operation training systems. For detailed
information, refer to the plant operation training simulator manual.
IM 32S04B30-21E
3-2
l Overview of SCS Simulator Functions

An SCS simulator simulates operations of an SCS on a PC. Since no actual hardware is
used, it always simulates normal status for areas related to input/output processing, but
other than this, it operates in almost exactly the same way as an actual SCS.
It is possible to use engineering functions and test support functions provided on a PC for
SCS simulators.
It is possible to operate and monitor an SCS simulator via the operation and monitoring
functions of CENTUM (virtual HIS).
It is possible to perform communication among multiple SCS simulators as well as with FCS
simulators.
A PC on which SCS simulators are running cannot communicate with actual SCS and FCS.
SCS simulators are unable to communicate with actual SCSs. For this reason, tests that
involve both actual SCSs and SCS simulators cannot be performed.
An SCS simulator is launched from the SCS Test Function window. The SCS Test Function
window can be launched either from SCS Manager or System View.
IMPORTANT
Do not execute logic simulation tests while running SCS simulators.
l Items that can be Checked with SCS Simulation Tests

SCS simulation tests can test the following items.
Table
Items that can be Checked with SCS Simulation Tests

Items to be tested
SCS simulation test
Generic application logics
Test input/output variables upon setting initial data values using the data
value batch setting function in the I/O Lock Window. Check operations
using on-line monitoring.
Application enabling operations and

monitoring from HIS (such as Override
FB, Manual operation FB, and
External communication FB)
It is possible to use a virtual HIS to execute the same tests as when using
actual SCSs.
After launching SCS simulators, call and operate a faceplate using the tag
name as the key from a virtual HIS.
Application logics that use System FB Operations of system FB can only be checked partly with target tests.
Inter-SCS safety communication
The Inter-SCS Communication Lock Window is available.

Checking of operations including communication is possible by launching
multiple SCS simulators. If SCS simulators to communicate with are not
launched, communication results become abnormal.
Tests involving a single SCS simulator are performed using the same
procedure as for logic simulation tests.
SCS link transmission
The SCS Link Transmission Lock Window is available.

Checking of operations including communication is possible by launching
multiple SCS simulators. If SCS simulators to be communicated with are
not launched, communication results become abnormal.
Tests involving a single SCS simulator are performed using the SCS Link
Transmission Lock Window.
FCS application that views/sets data

in SCS
Execute a test by launching FCS simulator at the same time.
Graphic windows related to SCS
Graphic views not related to hardware can be tested from a virtual HIS.
Communication input /output tests
Execute a test using the Communication I/O Lock Window.

Communication with subsystems shall be checked using target tests.
SCS start actions
Starting up processes can be tested by rebooting an SCS simulator.

Engineering Procedure before Executing SCS

Simulation Tests
This section explains engineering tasks required on the ProSafe-RS side as well as the
CENTUM side in order to execute an SCS simulation test.
Engineering tasks required to execute an SCS simulation test are different for newly created SCS projects and SCS projects for which off-line download to an SCS has already
been completed. Each procedure is explained in the following.
n Step 1 Creating a Test SCS Project

The procedure for creating test SCS projects is different for newly created SCS projects and SCS
projects for which off-line download to an SCS has already been completed.
l In the Case of a Newly Created SCS Project (Default Project)

The attribute of a newly created SCS project is set to default until off-line download to an SCS
is completed. With a default project, it is possible to execute an SCS simulation test without
creating a test SCS project.
SEE
ALSO
For the procedure for creating a new SCS project, see the following:
3.1, Creation of New SCS Projects of the Engineering Reference (IM 32S04B10-21E)
l In the Case of a Project for which Off-line Download to an SCS has been
Completed (Current Project)
It is not possible to execute an SCS simulation test with a current project. It is thus necessary to
generate a user-defined project for an SCS simulation test. To generate a user-defined project,
use the Test Project Creating Tool.
SEE
ALSO
For how to use the Test Project Creating Tool to generate a user-defined project, see the following:
5.1, Test Project Creating Tool
TIP
An SCS simulation test cannot be executed with SCS projects created with the version earlier than R1.03. Create
SCS projects again.
IM 32S04B30-21E
3-7
n Step 2 Creating a Test Project on the CENTUM Side

In order to execute an SCS simulation test, an SCS must have been registered with System View
of a CENTUM project on a PC on which an SCS simulator is launched. The attribute set for the
CENTUM project must be default or user-defined.
l When No Test Target SCS is Created in a CENTUM Project

If no SCS to be tested is created in the target CENTUM project, an SCS to be tested must be
created with System View.
SEE
ALSO
For detailed information about the procedure to create an SCS with System View, see the following:
2.2.1, SCS Creation of the Integration with CENTUM VP/CS 3000 (IM 32S01E10-21E)
l When the Attribute of a CENTUM Project is Set to Current

If the attribute of a CENTUM project that includes test target SCSs is set to current, create a copy
of the CENTUM project with System View in order to create a user-defined project.
n Step 3 Changing the Target Name

In order to execute an SCS simulation test, it is necessary to create a database for SCS
simulation tests in the test SCS project (default or user-defined project) prepared in step 1. In
order to do so, change the Target name to SCS_SIMULATOR in the Resource Properties dialog
box of SCS Manager.
The Resource Properties dialog box is opened by selecting [Properties] from the pop-up menu
displayed by right-clicking the mouse on a resource in Link Architecture View.

When performing a build operation after changing the Target name, the master database is deleted. Because the
master database is deleted, it is necessary to run Integrity Analyzer and Cross Reference Analyzer after the build
operation.
l When Library Projects are Used

In case of an SCS project using a library project, the Target name of the library project must be
changed to match that of the SCS project. If the Target names of the SCS project and library
project do not match, an error occurs during the build operation. Specifically, perform the
following operations.
TIP
1.
Open the library project, change the Target name and then build.
2.
Open the SCS project, change the Target name and then build.
In case of a current project, it is not possible to change the Target name to SCS_SIMULATOR.

n Step 4 Setting CENTUM Project Folder Path

Open the SCS Project Properties dialog box from SCS manager and in the Project tab, specify a
CENTUM project folder to [CENTUM Project Folder].

n Step 5 Building and Running Analyzers

Build the SCS project whose Target name was changed in step 3 and create a database for SCS
simulation tests.
Before launching the SCS Test Function window, run Integrity Analyzer and Cross Reference
Analyzer.
IMPORTANT
Because the [Target] field of Resource Properties was changed in step 3, it is necessary to
perform a build operation and run the analyzers even if no changes were made to the application
logic.
n Step 6 Creating SCS Tag List on the CENTUM Side

Open the CENTUM project created in step 2 from System View and generate an SCS tag list.

Engineering Procedure after SCS Simulation Tests
This section explains engineering tasks performed when debugging and testing have
been completed and SCS project data is to be downloaded to the actual SCS.
n Operations Required after SCS Simulation Tests (Default Project)

This section explains the procedure for performing off-line download to an actual SCS after an
SCS simulation test is completed with a default project.
l Step 1 Changing the Target Name

To perform off-line download, change the Target name from SCS_SIMULATOR to SCS_TARGET
in Resource Properties dialog box of SCS Manager, and then build the project.
l Step 2 Running Analyzers

Since the Target name has been changed, it is necessary to run Integrity Analyzer and Cross
Reference Analyzer.
l Step 3 Performing Off-line Download

Perform off-line download. The project attribute will be changed from default to current.
n Operations Required after SCS Simulation Tests (User-defined

Project)
This section explains the procedure for reflecting test results to an actual SCS after an SCS
simulation test has been completed with a user-defined project.
You can reflect test results by performing either on-line change download or off-line download.
l Reflecting Results by On-line Change Download

The overview of the procedure is explained below.

IMPORTANT
If the files of the user-defined SCS project with the Target name of SCS_SIMULATOR, which is
exported in its entirety, are imported into a current project as it is, it will not be possible to build the
project immediately, because the Target name becomes SCS_SIMULATOR. In this case, change
the Target name of the current project to SCS_TARGET.

n Updating Database for Testing

When launching the SCS Test Function window from System View, the database for testing is not
copied to the project folder on the CENTUM side. Instead, the database copied in the previous
test is used. For this reason, if the SCS project has been changed with SCS Manager after the
previous test, it is necessary to update the database for testing. To put the latest SCS project data
to the project folder on the CENTUM side, use [Update SCS Test Database].
If [Update SCS Test Database] is selected from Maintenance Launcher of SCS Manager, the
SCS test database is copied to in the CENTUM project.
l Cases where Errors Occur when Updating Database for Testing

In the following case, an error occurs when updating the database for testing ([Update SCS Test
Database]).
The project attribute set for the SCS project is default or user-defined and no database has
been created for the SCS simulation test (the Target name is SCS_TARGET).
TIP
In the following cases, the [Update SCS Test Database] menu is not displayed in the Maintenance Launcher.
The CENTUM VP/CS 3000 Integration Engineering package is not installed.
The attribute of the SCS project is current.
Note, however, that when off-line download is performed for a default project and the project attribute is changed

Execution of SCS Simulation Tests
After launching an SCS simulator, set the initial values for the SCS simulator and execute
the test using the test support functions, SCS Maintenance Support Tool and so on.
Certain operations of the SCS simulator are different from the actual SCS, however. This
section explains the following items.
Differences between an SCS simulator and actual SCS
Preparation for executing an SCS simulation test
Use of test support functions
Use of SCS Maintenance Support Tool
Use of virtual HISs
On-line changes of an SCS simulation test
3.3.1
Operations Unique to SCS Simulators
An SCS simulator simulates the operations of an SCS as accurately as possible, but some
of the operations are different from those of the actual SCS.
This section explains the main differences. Use a target test to check items that cannot be
checked with an SCS simulator.
n Input/Output Functions
An SCS simulator does not process inputs/outputs of input/output modules.
l Processing for Input/Output Modules

An SCS simulator does not process inputs/outputs of input/output modules. Input/output modules
are all simulated as being in normal status. Tests of communication involving field equipment
must be performed via target tests using actual devices.
SEE
ALSO
For data values of input/output variables and the initial value of data status, see the following:
3.3.2, Preparation for Executing SCS Simulation Tests
l HART Communication
An SCS simulator cannot perform HART communication. Tests of connection with PRM must be
performed via target tests using actual devices.
n Subsystem Communication
An SCS simulator cannot communicate with actual subsystems. The initial values for the entire
communication input/output range are 0 for the data value and GOOD for the data status. Tests
of communication with subsystems must be performed via target tests using actual devices.
n Modbus Slave Functions

In an SCS simulation test, communication with the device used as the Modbus master cannot be
performed. Tests of communication involving the Modbus master must be performed via target
tests using actual devices.
IM 32S04B30-21E
3-22
n Inter-SCS Safety Communication/SCS Link Transmission

An SCS simulator cannot communicate with the actual devices.
An SCS simulator does not diagnose errors related to the timing of the inter-SCS
safety communication/SCS link transmission safety communication. Tests involving
communication errors must be performed via target tests using actual devices.
SEE
ALSO
For detailed information about tests on inter-SCS safety communication/SCS link transmission safety
communication using SCS simulators, see the following:
3.5.2, Testing Inter-SCS Safety Communication/SCS Link Transmission Safety Communication
For detailed information about tests of SCS global switch communication combining SCS simulators and
FCS simulators, see the following:
3.6, Testing CENTUM Integration in Virtual Tests
n Specification for Scan Period and Execution Timing

The scan periods of both the application logic and the external connection function are fixed to 1
second for SCS simulators.
l Scan Period for Application Logic Execution Function

An SCS simulator operates the application logic with a 1 second period even if the actual SCS
being executed operates at a faster scan period. In this case, the operation timing is different
from the actual SCS.
Moreover, automatic scan period extension is disabled.
l FB Execution Timing
If the Scan Period for Application Logic Execution Function is specified less than 1 second,
the timing of the time-out occurrence is delayed for TIME-type input parameters of standard
function blocks such as TON and TOFF on the SCS simulator. For example, if the scan
period is set to 200 ms in the actual SCS, and the time-out value for a parameter is specified
to T#5s, the simulated time-out occurs after 25 scans, that is, 25 seconds. If the time-out
value is specified to T#400ms, the time-out occurs after 2 scans, that is, 2 seconds, and so
forth.

Applicable FBs:
TON, TOF, TP, VEL, ANLG_S, REPEATTIMER, ANLG1oo2D, ANLGVOTER, MOB_11,
MOB_21, MOB_RS, SYS_FORCE, SYS_FORCE_SC, SYS_SECURE, SYS_OVR, SYS_
PSWD, SYS_FORCE_BD
The output of function blocks whose output is determined by the number of calls, such as
CTU and CTD, is updated 5 times per second in the actual SCS if the scan period is 200
ms, but only once per second in the simulator.

Applicable FBs: CTU, CTD, CTUD, FILTER, FILTER_S
l Scan Period of the External Connection Function

The scan period of the external connection function, such as the CENTUM integration function,
is one second or two seconds, depending on the specification set in the actual SCS during
engineering. However, the scan period of an SCS simulator is always one second, regardless of
the specification set in the actual SCS.
IM 32S04B30-21E

n System Function Blocks

ProSafe-RS provides various system function blocks for the purpose of notifying the SCS status.
Some of these system function blocks behave differently in an SCS simulator than in the actual
SCS, however. The operations of application logic related to these system function blocks must
be checked with target tests.

SYS_NETST
SYS_CERR
Floating point overflow errors can not be detected.
SYS_SCANEXT
Outputs a fixed scan period value because automatic scan period extension is disabled..
n Security Level
Immediately after launching an SCS simulator, its security level is set to 0, which is not
the case for the actual SCS. Since the SCS simulator is not directly related to the plant
operation, it is not necessary to change to level 2.
In the actual SCS, the SCS security level is changed from 0 to 2 via off-line download or
by restarting the SCS, whereas in the case of an SCS simulator, the security level can be
changed to 2 without entering a password by starting the Maintenance Launcher from SCS
Manager and selecting [Set SCS Security Level].
l Password for Changing Security Level

Password is cleared when launching an SCS simulator.
IM 32S04B30-21E
3-24
n Hardware Diagnosis
An SCS simulator simulates all hardware as normal in the diagnosis.
l CPU
Always simulated as normal.
In the case of duplicated CPUs, the left CPU is simulated as being in control status, while
the right CPU is simulated as being in standby mode.
Since the simulation does not involve actual hardware, APC status does not exist.
l Power Supply Status

Always simulated as normal.
l Status of Input/Output Modules

Input/output modules and communication modules are always simulated as normal.
Communication bus and node status are always simulated as normal.
In case of input/output modules and communication modules in redundant configuration,
the module with the smaller slot number is simulated as being the control side.
l Status of Control Bus

The status of a control bus is always simulated as normal.
l HKU Functions
All items, including temperature, fan status and battery, are simulated as normal.
n Notifications of Self-diagnosis and Diagnostic Information

Certain diagnostic information messages that may be generated in an actual system are not
generated in case of an SCS simulator.
l System Switch (%SW)

The system switch that shows information related to hardware is always normal (0).
l Diagnostic Information Messages

Some of the self-diagnosis functions related to safety are not executed in SCS simulators.
Since self-diagnosis result is always simulated as normal, some of the diagnosis information
messages related to self-diagnosis are not generated.
Diagnostic information messages related to hardware, including modules and channels, are
not generated.
Certain system alarms, e.g., hardware failures, are not generated.
Diagnostic information generated before stopping is not restored when starting an SCS
simulator.
IM 32S04B30-21E
3-25
n Other Differences in Operations between SCS Simulator and Actual

SCS
In addition to those already explained, the following are differences in operations compared to the
actual SCSs.
l SCS Simulator Launch Timing

Since no actual input/output modules exist in an SCS simulator, I/O module startup processing
is not performed. Since flash memory is not accessed either, the completion timing of the initial
processing is different from that of the actual SCS.
l Difference in Operation due to Difference of CPU

Different CPUs are used for the actual SCS and the Windows PC that runs an SCS simulator.
Specifically in the case of application logic that handles floating point calculations, rounding
errors between the actual SCS and SCS simulator may occur in the calculations due to the
processor differences.
l SOE Events
There are no DI module events.
SOE events that occurred before the previous stop are not restored when starting an SCS
simulator.
l Time Synchronization
An SCS simulator operates based on the local PC clock regardless of the specification of
time synchronization. Note that if the expanded test functions are used to launch several SCS
simulators on different PCs, the time is not synchronized between the PCs.
The time synchronization status is always displayed as normal.
If Vnet/IP time synchronization is specified as the synchronization method, the time
synchronization status is always displayed as being synchronized relative to Vnet/IP.
l Behavior at Abnormal Calculation

The operation on the SCS simulator differs from that on an actual SCS only in the case of an
overflow that occurs in floating-point calculation of REAL numbers.
On an actual SCS, the CPU stops upon an overflow in floating-point calculation if "SCS
continues" is not specified as the behavior at abnormal calculation. If "SCS continues" is
specified, the calculation result is replaced with the maximum value of of REAL numbers.
On the SCS simulator, if an overflow occurs in floating-point calculation, the calculation result
becomes infinity. The calculations that use this abnormal result produce abnormal results, but the
POU does not stop.
SEE
ALSO
For more information about the behavior at abnormal calculation on an actual SCS, see the following:
B6.1.3, "Behavior at Abnormal Calculation" of the Safety Control Station Reference (IM 32S03B10-21E)
IM 32S04B30-21E
3-26
3.3.2
Preparation for Executing SCS Simulation Tests
Some operations of an SCS simulator are different from those of the actual SCS. For example, input/output processing of input/output modules is not performed in simulations.
Thus, when executing a test using SCS simulators, it is necessary to use the forcing function of the test support functions to set initial values required for the test.
Set the initial values required for each test according to the scope of testing.

n Initial Values of Data and Data Status for Input/Output Variables

Since an SCS simulator cannot be connected with input/output modules, input/output variables
take the following initial values of data and data status.

l Logical Data
The initial value of logical data is the same as the corresponding physical data.
TIP
When launching an SCS simulator, input/output variables are not locked in the same way as for the actual SCS.
To change an input value, lock the corresponding variable from I/O Lock Window and set an input value for the
logical data.
When the lock is cancelled, the value and status returns to those of the physical data.
n Setting Initial Values for Input/Output Variables

Lock variables using the I/O Lock Window. Set the initial values of data and data status using the
same window as well.
n Setting Initial Value for Communication Input/Output Variable

It is not possible to test communication with the actual subsystem using an SCS simulator.
The initial values of the communication input/output area are set to 0 for the data values and
GOOD for data status of all communication I/O data.
To test application logic related to communication inputs/outputs, initial values required for the
test must be set by the user.
Lock variables using the Communication I/O Lock Window. Set initial values of data and data
status using the same window as well.
IM 32S04B30-21E
3-28
n Execution of Output Enable Operation

When an SCS simulator has been launched, its output is invalid in the same way as for the actual
SCS. Enable the output from the I/O Channel Status Display dialog box of the SCS Maintenance
Support Tool. Outputs of all channels are enabled and values start to be output.
In the same way as for the actual SCS, inter-SCS safety communication and SCS link
transmission are also started with this operation.
l Status Change of Operating Mode

After completing the start-up process of an SCS simulator, the operating mode status is the
Waiting mode. The status changes to the Running mode after outputs are enabled.
TIP
Since an SCS simulator always simulates output modules as normal, the output changes from enabled status to
an invalid status only when a shutdown system function block (SYS_ALLSD, SYS_IOSD) is activated.

Test Support Functions in SCS Simulation Tests
After launching an SCS simulator, use the test support functions according to the test
purpose and start testing.
This section explains what types of test support functions can be used and how do they
work during SCS simulation tests.
n SENG Functions at SCS Simulation Tests

The operations of some of the functions that can be used in SENG for the actual SCS are
different when used for SCS simulators. The differences are summarized below.
l SENG Functions Available in SCS Simulation Tests

The main SENG functions that can be used in SCS simulation tests are as follows.
Debug function of SCS Manager (on-line monitoring, forcing, etc.)
On-line change download
Operation mark save/load
Integrity Analyzer
Cross Reference Analyzer
Database validity check tool
SCS Information dialog box
Security level setting
I/O Lock Window
Communication I/O Lock Window
SCS Link Transmission Lock Window
Inter-SCS Communication Lock Window
l SENG Functions Unavailable in SCS Simulation Tests

The following SENG functions cannot be used in SCS simulation tests. These functions cause
errors if called.
Off-line download
Launching the SCS simulator itself corresponds to the off-line downloading of the actual
SCS.
Master database off-line download
SCS restart
Stopping and resuming of an SCS simulator from the SCS Test Function window
corresponds to the restarting of the actual SCS.
IOM control right switching tool
IM 32S04B30-21E

n Forcing Function
The forcing function can be used when setting initial values and testing application logic. The I/O
Lock Window, Communication I/O Lock Window, SCS Link Transmission Lock Window and InterSCS Communication Lock Window allow setting multiple values at once in SCS simulation tests.
l Locking/Unlocking Each Variable

The operation conditions are the same as for the actual SCS. Each variable can be locked/
unlocked from Dictionary View, and so on. If the security level is 2, change it to 1 or 0.
l I/O Lock Window

In an SCS simulation test, multiple process input/output data can be set at the same time.
If the security level is 2, change it to 1 or 0.
When multiple data is set at the same time, diagnostic information messages for each of the
set data items are transmitted.
When large amounts of data are set at the same time, it will take some time before the
setting is completed. Be sure that the data setting is completed before starting the test.

2.2, SCS Link Transmission Lock Window of the Utilities and Maintenance Reference (IM 32S04B20-21E)
l Inter-SCS Communication Lock Window

In SCS simulation tests, multiple binding valuables can be set at the same time.
If the security level of the SCS is 2, change it to 1 or 0.
When multiple data are collectively set set at the same time, a diagnostic information
message is transmitted for each of the data item that has been set.
If large amounts of data are set at the same time, it will take some time before the setting is
completed. Be sure that the data setting is completed before starting the test.

The application debug function is executed from the menu of SCS Manager. The following
functions can be used in SCS simulation tests.
Pause/pause cancellation (Cycle To Cycle/Real Time)
One-cycle execution (Execute one Cycle)
Break point (Break Point)

n Specification for Scan Period and Execution Timing in 3.3.1, Operations Unique to SCS Simulators
IM 32S04B30-21E
3-32
l Pause/Pause Cancellation (Cycle To Cycle/Real Time)

The execution procedure is the same as for target tests. The function is operated from SCS
Manager.
Once a request to pause is received, the application logic scan period processing is
bypassed and the periodic processing of the application logic is stopped.
When a test is paused, execution of application logic is never stopped in the middle. It is
always stopped after the execution of all logic within a scan is completed.
When a test is paused, the periodic processing of the external connection function is also
stopped. Specifically, updating of the alarm masking timer and the warning repetition timer
of process alarms is stopped. This is different from the actual SCS.
When the test is paused, counting of the warning repetition timer of mapping blocks is
stopped. However, the warning alarm repetition timer of annunciator messages is not
stopped.
The time information of an SCS simulator is updated even in paused status.
Communication from other simulators is received even in paused status.
The paused status/pause canceled status can be checked from the SCS Test Function
window as well.
l Differences of FB Operations in the Cycle To Cycle Mode

The operations of TON, TOF and TP function blocks in SCS simulator tests are different from the
operations in target tests/logic simulation tests.
In the actual SCS, these function blocks continue timekeeping even in the Cycle To Cycle
mode (while paused). For this reason, the output may become TRUE (in the case of TON)
immediately when the mode is switched to Execute one Cycle or Real Time.
In the case of an SCS simulator, the time during which the test is paused in the Cycle
To Cycle mode is not included in timekeeping. When the Execute one Cycle function is
performed during the Cycle To Cycle mode, the internal clock of TON and similar function
blocks advances by the time corresponding to one scan only.
If instance names are assigned to TON, TOF and TP function blocks and the same instance
is called in multiple locations, the actual SCS keeps the actual time. An SCS simulator,
however, operates as if the time advanced corresponding to the number of instances called.
(For example, if a TON instance with a delay time of 10 seconds is called at 2 locations, it
times out in 5 seconds.)
l One-cycle Execution (Execute one Cycle)

In one-cycle execution, the operation procedure is the same as for target tests and the function
is operated from SCS Manager. The external connection function is also included among
the targets of one-cycle execution (the operations are different from those of the actual SCS,
however).
l Break Point, Step Execution

The execution procedure is the same as for target tests; the function is operated from SCS
Manager.
IM 32S04B30-21E
3-33
l Changing Scan Period (Set Cycle Time)

The execution procedure is the same as for target tests; the function is operated from SCS
Manager.
In an SCS simulation test, the scan period of all application logic is fixed to 1 second regardless
of the specification for the actual SCS (the operations are different from those of the actual SCS,
however).
n On-line Monitoring Function

By placing SCS Manager in debug mode, it is possible to read variable data values of application
logic being operated in the launched SCS simulator, even during an SCS simulation test.

3.3.6
Downloading to SCS Simulators
Changes to applications made during an SCS simulation test can be reflected in the SCS
simulator. In order to reflect these changes, it is necessary to execute a build operation
and run the analyzers.
Changes in the range where on-line changes are possible can be reflected in on-line
change download to the SCS simulator.
An SCS simulator does not support off-line download. Instead, restarting an SCS simulator corresponds to off-line download.
n Execution of On-line Change Download to SCS Simulators

The conditions under which on-line change download is allowed to SCS simulator are the
same as for the actual SCS.
In the same way as for the actual SCS, on-line change download can only be executed
when the SCS security level is 1 or less. (Note, however, that the default security level at
launching an SCS simulator is set to 0 by default, and it is thus possible to perform on-line
change download without having to change the security level.)
IOM download to input/output modules is not executed. Normal completion messages are
always generated.
TIP
If the status is changed such that on-line change is not possible, on-line change download cannot be performed
in the same way as for the actual SCS. Stop the SCS simulator once and restart the SCS simulator from the SCS
Test Function window. Note that if the SCS simulator was started from System View, it is necessary to launch
SCS Manager first and execute [Update SCS Test Database] before starting the SCS simulator.
l On-line Changes from Debug Mode Status

SCS Manager is placed in the debug mode while forcing variables, changing scan period or
pausing. In this status, on-line change download of applications cannot be performed.
Use the following procedure to exit the debug mode before changing application settings.
1.
End the application debug function being executed from SCS Manager.
2.
From the [Debug] menu of SCS Manager, select [Stop Debug/Simulation] to cancel the
debug mode.

<3.4 Expanded Test Functions>
3-39
Using expanded test function package of CENTUM, it is possible to perform SCS simulation tests using multiple PCs.
In this way, it becomes possible to launch SCS Manager on several PCs at one time. In
tests where multiple SCSs are involved, such as inter-SCS safety communication tests,
it becomes possible to set values by forcing, in an SCS simulator that is mainly used for
debugging purposes, as well as in SCS simulators that are used in communication tests.
Thus, using the expanded test functions allows debugging to be performed efficiently
under various conditions.
IMPORTANT
Do not use _ (underscore) in the host name of a PC on which the expanded test functions
are executed. If _ is used for the host name of the PC on which an SCS simulator or virtual
HIS is launched, an error may be generated at startup, or communication between the SCS
simulator and virtual HIS may not be possible.
If an SCS simulator has been launched in a domain different from the domain of a virtual
HIS before launching the HIS, it may take up to one minute until the communication
between the virtual HIS and the SCS simulator is enabled.
A virtual HIS and an SCS simulator in the same domain will start communicating within one
minute regardless of the launching order.
In the expanded test functions, time is not synchronized among PCs.
Overview of the Expanded Test Functions

In environments where the expanded test function package is installed, it is possible to start
multiple PCs used for testing by specifying connection with other PCs when the SCS Test
Function window is launched. If the SCS Test Function window is launched in a test environment
showing items to be tested is shown in light green (default), and with CS 3000, the window border
is green (default). This indicates that the test environment is ready for communications with other
PCs. The expanded test functions enable the following.
Communication among Multiple PCs

Executing tests using multiple PCs makes it possible to test large-scale plant environments.
TIP
It is not possible to engineer a single SCS with multiple PCs simultaneously.

SCS Manager does not have functions to communicate with multiple PCs. To use the test support functions
for the SCS simulators running on other PCs from SCS Manager, it is necessary to run a virtual HIS or FCS
simulator at the same time on a PC on which SCS Manager is launched.
IM 32S04B30-21E
3-40
Configuration Avoiding Interference among Multiple PCs

The specification of connecting with other PC at launching the SCS Test Function window
must be set for each PC. Even when launching a simulator for a station of the same CENTUM
project, it is possible to avoid connecting with specific PCs only. If disconnected with other PCs,
the background of the pane showing items to be tested of SCS Test Function window is shown in
light red (default) with CENTUM VP, and the window border is in red (default) with CS 3000.
Remote Launching and Stopping an SCS simulator

It is possible to start/stop SCS simulators on other PCs from the SCS Test Function window.
Launching an Virtual HIS Alone

It is possible to launch a virtual HIS only, without launching the SCS Test Function window and/or
an SCS simulator. Background color of System Message Banner in the virtual HIS launched
alone is shown in yellow green (default) with CENTUM VP, the window border of virtual HIS
launched alone is in green (default) with CS 3000.
Tests of OPC Communication

It is possible to connect the ExaOPC package running on a PC. Thus, it becomes possible to
include ExaOPC stations in the scope of SCS simulation tests.

n Software Environment of the Expanded Test Functions

The expanded test functions are required whenever it is necessary to execute an SCS simulation
test using multiple PCs. In order to use the expanded test functions, it is necessary to install the
CENTUM packages. Select the package to be installed according to the usage purpose of the
PC tests. Moreover, the control bus driver is required even if the PC does not have the control

Tests Using Multiple SCS Simulators
Inter-SCS safety communication and SCS link transmission safety communication involve communication between multiple SCSs. They are thus tested using multiple SCS
simulators. It is possible to launch multiple SCS simulators on a single PC for simple
testing, but it is necessary to use the expanded test functions on multiple PCs when more
advanced functions such as the I/O Lock Window are used for each station in the testing.

This section explains the environment required to test inter-SCS safety communication
and SCS link transmission in an SCS simulation test. In addition, the procedure for changing SCS simulators to be tested is explained.
In order to test inter-SCS safety communication or SCS link transmission safety communication, it is necessary to launch multiple SCS simulators. However, since only one SCS
Manager can be launched on a single PC, it is not allowed to use the application debug
function for multiple SCSs at the same time. Thus, it is recommended to execute a multiple-SCS connection test using the expanded test functions on two or more PCs.

Testing Inter-SCS Safety Communication/SCS Link

Transmission Safety Communication
This section explains precautions when executing SCS simulation tests of inter-SCS
safety communication or SCS link transmission safety communication.
n Precautions for SCS Simulation Tests of Inter-SCS Safety

Communication
It is possible to test inter-SCS safety communication between SCS simulators by starting up
multiple SCS simulators.
SCS simulators cannot communicate with actual SCSs.
After the SCS simulators are launched, start output communication with the output enable
operation in the same way as for the actual SCSs.
If there are any errors in the binding definitions for consumer FB (CONS_*), the value from
OUT retains its initial value and the value from NR becomes FALSE even after the output
is enabled. In this case, the applications should be reviewed. Note that messages notifying
about errors are not generated when the output enable operation is performed.
SCS simulators do not diagnose transmission delay timeout (DLYT) and reception interval
timeout (OUTT) via consumer FB (CONS_*). For this reason, an SCS simulator on the
consuming side will not detect an error even if an SCS simulator on the producing side is
paused.
Even if an SCS simulator on the producing side is stopped, the consuming side does not
detect an error. To perform testing in such abnormal cases, it is necessary to execute target
tests using the actual SCSs.

IM 32S04B30-21E
3-55
n Precautions for SCS Simulation Tests of SCS Link Transmission

Safety Communication
The operations of SCS link transmission can be checked with SCS simulation tests.
Data of SCS link transmission can be communicated between SCS simulators, but diagnoses
related to time are not performed. Thus, testing at communication errors cannot be performed.
Testing at communication errors must be performed using the actual SCSs. In addition, it is
necessary to use target tests to check the following items as well.
Performance
Communication load, CPU load
Note that SCS simulators cannot communicate with actual SCSs via SCS link transmission.
It is recommended to use two or more PCs to perform communication tests of SCS link
transmission using SCS simulators.
l When a Single SCS Simulator is Launched

When an SCS simulator is launched, all data received via SCS link transmission becomes
erroneous (the data value is FALSE and the data status is BAD). Lock the received data in the
SCS Link Transmission Lock Window and check the validity of the logic while setting values.
l When Multiple SCS Simulators are Launched

Launch SCS simulators on the sending side, perform the output enable operation and start data
communication in the same way as for actual SCSs.
After the output is enabled for sending side SCS simulator, interfaces between stations can be
tested. Check that the data types match between the sending side and receiving side on the SCS
Link Transmission Lock Window.
