How To Download A Project To An Aki Terminal; Simulating Or Testing Your Project With Kvb And The Kas Simulator - Kollmorgen KAS Guía Rápida

Once the project is compiled, these tagged variables will automatically be mapped and
transferred when you create the KVB project. This may be done at any time; should you add a
new variable which needs to be transferred, simply tag it as "KVB", re-compile your KAS
project, and open the KVBProject.

Simulating or Testing Your Project with KVB and the KAS Simulator

Just as you can simulate your project in the KAS IDE and run it on the KAS Simulator, you
can test your KVB-created HMI screens in KVB (not downloaded to a panel) connected to
either the KAS Simulator or an actual PxMM controller. Following are instructions on how to
achieve this. You can replicate this same example by creating a new KAS project using a 2
Axes FFLD PLCopen template. This template is one of several that have pre-defined KVB
projects and HMI.
Following are two important points which must be set before you can use KVB to simulate a
project. The template we selected already meets these criteria:
 The IP address is set to 127.0.0.1 ("home"); this is required to run with the KAS Simulator.
 This project type, in addition to having a pre-defined KVB project, has had the necessary
variables selected to be transferred to KVB.
To proceed, use the following directions.
1. Click the Simulated Device button.
Click the Compile button.
2.
3. Launch KAS Simulator.
4. Click the Connect button.
At this point you can simulate within KAS and use the built-in control panel.
5. Click the Run button. This will load the axes into the KAS Simulator, they are light blue
which means they are Simulated, Power Off.
