|
There are the following modes of operation: MANIPULATION, SIMULATION and REAL TIME. |
| Off |
|
The real time system of MPC Solution stops. After the plant is stopped, no mode can be selected for 8 sec. The icons Start, Stop, Simulation and Manipulation are deactivated within this time. |

| Manipulation mode |
|
The program does not work in manipulation mode, because this feature is designed to set output channels by hand, and read (check) input channels. This is very helpful when checking acuators and sensors in the first test run of the switchgear. Manipulation mode allows direct access to hardware and to the elements of data, which are usually hidden in the production process. For example values of output channels whose results normally are set by the program. This makes the hardware check easier. |

|
| Simulation mode |
|
In the simulation mode, an MPC Solution program can also be tested without attached hardware. The simulation mode is made for the off-line test by the programmer. Here he can switch the sensor technology without the machine. The program supplies the output signals corresponding. This way a program test without machine is made possible. |

|
| Real time |
|
In real time state the program, the sensor
technology and the actuating elements are working. Of course, most program
modifications are also possible online. |
