Online test

We now want to load the same program into the controller and test it there.

Preparations

Simulator We will now work with the physical hardware. You will need to define the input
states and watch the reaction of the outputs. That is what we use the EC 2014
simulator for. It can be used directly for testing simple program functions. A
different simulator box is used for the starter set.
Starter set When working with the starter set the following section can be skipped.
Familiarise yourself with the accessories of the simulator. It consists of:
EC 2022 a digital box with 6 switches to simulate digital inputs (two pieces).
EC 2023 an analogue box with 6 pots to simulate analogue inputs.
EC 2014 the actual simulator. The plug on its cable is a special version. An additional
socket is brought out of it which permits the connection of another CAN
component.
Adapter RS 232 an adapter, e.g. to connect the PC.
Adapter We do not need the second adapter right now.
To be connected to the simulator (
simulator supplied):
● Supply voltage
The 24 V power supply is to be ordered separately. It is to be connected to the
terminals of the multi-way connector strip marked VBB and GND.
● Controller ecomatmobile R360, CR0020
The connecting cable is firmly connected with the simulator. On the controller
side it has a 55-pin connector used in mobile controllers to ensure the high
protection rating.
● Control box
To test easy program functions it is sufficient to connect the control box
designated 0 - 5 to the socket designated 00 - 05. In addition to another control
box an analogue box to simulate analogue input signals is also supplied with
the simulator. It can only be connected to the first socket. Therefore it is left
unassigned, the control box is connected to 08 -13.
● PC
The connection is made via the supplied cable. It has a 9-pole socket on the
side of the PC. If the PC has COM2 as a 25-pole connector, an additional
adapter is required. It has a multi-way connector strip on the side of the
simulator. The corresponding location on the simulator is marked RS 232/RxD
