| SIMCC is a Simulation software tool to
simulate plant behaviour in a desktop PC. By using integrated
development environment, design your plant easily and
run it in your office. |
|
| Overview of SIMCC Software |
|
What is simulation ?
- SIMCC is a powerfull tool to simulate
plant behaviour with direct connection to
the controller PLC and internal OPC Server.
|
 |
- With tags defined in the components,
it is possible to connect component's data
to the PLC and run predefined code in the
component without extended scripts.
- It is also possible to define macros within
components and run it in the form.

Project Based Approach On Simulation
SIMCC software organizes your simulation
project in a project based approach.
The Project data is stored in a directory defined at
the creation phase.
In every project there is such a file organization :
- PRJ file that containing project properties.
- DFM files as Forms of your project.
- MDB file that containing properties of components
which used in forms.
PRJ File and Project Properties
PRJ File is used to save and retrieve project data.
You can Create, Edit, Open and Save the project files.
The following project specific properties are stored
in this file :
- Project properties,
- Forms of your project,
- Registered libraries,
- Trace Log configuration entries.
Forms, As Component Containers
A SIMCC project contains Forms as component containers.
You can create your custom drawing in Forms by using
components shown in Component Toolbar. You can add unlimited
forms to your project and unlimited components in forms.
MDB File and Component Properties
Every Component in the form has properties and tag connections.
These connetions stored in this MDB File. |

- Components, Substitutes Equipments In
The Plant
SIMCC provides components which substitutes equipments
in the plants. Every equipment in the plant is represented
as components in the simulation project.
- Component list of SIMCC
You can see component list and detailed definitons
of SIMCC components in Component Toolbar section.
- Every component type has its own code
in it :
There are different custom codes for different
component types
- Every single component has custom data
in it :
- Custom parameters
- Custom tag connections for data exchange
- Component Data
- Every component has own parameter set defined
via SIMCE Component Editor
- It is possible to set parameter values of
component
- Tag Connections
Every component has own parameter set defined via
SIMCE Component Editor
|
|
Data Exchange in SIMCC
- Components, via these parameter set and I/O definitions,
run process codes in it.
- Every component gets input values from input
tags and sets output values to output tags.
|
 |
- SIMCC's tags are OPC tags and any OPC client
may get access to SIMCC's variables via OPC connection.
- SIMCC may use any OPC server's tag as component's
tag connection.

| Editing
Components |
Top of
Page |
|
Component Editor Window can be made visible
by right clicking on a component on the Form, and clicking
Edit menu option on the popup menu.
- General
On this tab there are general read only
properties of the component as Type, Name, Left,
Top, Width, Height.
|
 |
- Parameters
- On this tab there are parameters of the component.
These parameters can be defined in SIMCE Component
Editor
- New parameter value can be set by clicking
on the parameter cell and typing new value.
- Tag Connection
On this tab there are Tag connections of the component.
These parameters can be defined in SIMCE Component
editor
- May set up an OPC connection by double clicking
on the tag or pressing F3 on the tag or right
clicking and selecting from pupup menu
- May set up an internal OPC connection by
pressing F4 on the tag or right clicking and
selecting from pupup menu
- May create an internal OPC tag defined as
"ComponentName.TagName" format and
connect to it by pressing F5 on the tag or right
clicking and selecting from pupup menu
- May delete connection by right clicking and
selecting from pupup menu

Macros |
Top of
Page |
|
 |
SIMCC provides Macros to define functions
between components without using OPC connection.
Macros are relatively quick and do not load the CPU
as much as OPC connections do in the case of quick data
processing in a huge data pool is required.
|
|
Macro editor may be seen by
clicking Macros from MainMenu -> Actions -> Macros
or by pressing F6 key. Current version contains following
Macros
Macro editor has following functions
- Adding and defining a Macro
- Save Macro
- Load Macro
- Delete Macro
