Change Status

While using the Simulation Client, you can change the Status of assets. This allows you to see how it will behave while that Status is active in Runtime.

On the Assets and Workflows tab, change the Status of a selected asset by taking the following steps:

  1. In the Systems pane, select an integrated system.
  2. The assets from the system are listed in the Assets pane.
  3. The asset's available statuses are displayed in the Status pane. Double-click a status or select it and click Set Status.
    Note: This pane will appear differently for IPFusion PLC Devices. The representation of assets is unique, based on the Status Word provided by the PLC. Type in the decimal representation of a 16-bit word for the asset in the text box provided.
    Warning: After clicking one of the status buttons, the status will be immediately written to the asset.
  4. In the Runtime Simulation you can view the asset change states if it is available from the simulated Workstation.
