I have an annoying problem. I'm trying to emulate a plc to test an RSView HMI. I had RSLogix Emulate and heard SoftLogix should be better, so i installed SoftLogix. When installing i had to uninstall Emulate because they are incompatible. Now, i can't start SoftLogix because it says: 'Could not determine which modules are present in the chassis.
A typical SoftLogix system uses a virtual chassis application, the chassis monitor, that houses controllers and communication modules that interface with other Logix controllers and I/O modules. I/O simulator modules in the virtual chassis make application debugging and system startup easier. These devices reside on a virtual backplane. Softlogix Chassis Monitor Download Bandwidth. From the SoftLogix chassis monitor. The default label is “Simulator Module. The chassis monitor shows the 1789-SIM module as a virtual module in the SoftLogix.

The softlogix was running on a virtual instance of Server 2008, on a single Dell Server running ESXi. I had 20 VMs running on that thing to create everything we needed. The Softlogix had a dedicated VM to run on, nothing else ran on this VM. Ultimately, I configured the Softlogix to run each Processor on a separate core of the server. Softlogix chassis monitor.

Softlogix Chassis Monitors
Why do you need either one of those packages to “test an RSView HMI” application? I’ve always had EXCELLENT results from using the following technique.
Suppose that you’re animating a display of a tank to show the liquid level rising and falling based on a numerical value in the PLC. Suppose that the tag is named TANK_LEVEL. Instead of setting this up as a “Device” type tag, just set it up (temporarily) as a “Memory” type tag.

Now while you’re working on your graphics, etc. Just put a small (temporary) “Numeric Input” object on your window - and tie that to the TANK_LEVEL tag. Now you can manually enter any value that you desire into the tag - and check out the operation of your screen animation. You can get fancier of course by using a temporary horizontal or vertical “slider” to more easily change the value. Fancier yet: try using the same types techniques used in the RSView “Samples” application. Specifically, check out how the value of the tag “Automotive Motion” is automatically incremented in the “Derived Tags” section under “Logic and Control”. Basic idea: whatever software you’re trying to use to “emulate” the PLC is probably going to take at least as much trouble (if not MORE) to properly simulate a series of variables as the techniques I’m recommending.
Of course after the initial design work is done, you’ll still have to reassign your tags from “Memory” to “Device” before you put the system into operation in the field - but as long as you work systematically and carefully, that shouldn’t be too hard to do. In SOME cases you can actually go ahead and assign your tags directly as “Device” type and use the same techniques I’ve mentioned to manually adjust the values during the development phase of your project. Try experimenting with a few tags to get started.
Secret handshake: USUALLY you can go to the “Node” setup screen and temporarily turn off the “Enabled” checkbox. Then you can USUALLY manually adjust the tag values yourself.
