7.6 Understanding simulation mode
About the simulation mode jumper
If the process is not running, a simulation mode is available in the transmitter which aids in
system debug. When simulation mode is enabled, the SIMULATE parameter in the AI and DI
blocks provide a user-selected value as the input to the AI or DI block.
Setting the simulation jumper
A hardware jumper on the Communication board is set to enable or disable the SIMULATE
parameter. See Figure 37 for jumper location.
Table 40 shows how to set the simulation jumper on the Communication board.
