A running simulation in EOS SCADA Editor can be paused, allowing users
to assign manual values to SCADA data.
This feature makes it possible to examine how user controls respond to different data
values and to test SCADA page behavior under different operating conditions.
While simulation is running, the user can pause the simulation and assign different values
to the desired data through the Data List.
Manual data entry allows SCADA screens and user controls to be tested using user-defined
values instead of automatically generated random simulation values.
Information: Manual data entry is particularly useful for examining and
testing how user controls respond to different data values.
To enter manual data, first open the DATA LIST using the quick access
button bar.
The Data List allows SCADA data to be viewed. After the simulation is paused, manual values
can be assigned to the relevant data fields.
First step:
- Start the simulation in EOS SCADA Editor.
- Display the quick access button bar.
- Click the DATA LIST button.
After the Data List has been opened, the running simulation can be paused using the
PAUSE button located under the SIMULATION menu.
When the simulation is paused, the automatic simulation that assigns random values is
temporarily stopped.
CAUTION: Before entering manual data, the simulation must be paused
using the PAUSE button. This prevents values entered by the user from
being changed by the automatic simulation.
Assigning Manual Values to Data
After the simulation has been paused, the user can manually enter desired values in the
Read Value and Written Value
columns for each data item in the Data Table.
| Field |
Usage |
| Read Value |
Allows the user to manually assign a read value to the data item. |
| Written Value |
Allows the user to manually assign a written value to the data item. |
Example: When testing how a user control behaves with a different data
value, enter the value to be tested manually in either the
Read Value or Written Value field of the relevant data
item.
One of the important uses of manual data entry is testing how
user controls on SCADA screens respond to different data values.
Using user-defined values, the behavior of controls, indicators, and other SCADA components
on the screen can be examined.
Test objective: User control functions can be checked by creating
different value conditions without requiring real field data.
When necessary, the user can use the SIMULATION menu to reset all data
included in the simulation.
This feature can be used to make a clean start between different test scenarios and to
remove previously assigned manual values.
Changing the test scenario: After one test is completed, all data can
be reset and a different test scenario can be started with a new set of values.
Resuming Automatic Simulation
After manual data entry and testing have been completed, automatic simulation can be
resumed.
To do this, click the RESUME button under the
SIMULATION menu.
When RESUME is clicked, the automatic simulation using random initial
values and slowly changing values continues from where it left off.
Information: After the RESUME command, the simulation returns to
automatic operation and values continue to change according to the simulation behavior
generated by EOS SCADA Editor.
Manual Data Entry Workflow
- Open the SCADA page to be tested.
- Start the simulation.
- Open the DATA LIST from the quick access button bar.
- Open the SIMULATION menu.
- Click the PAUSE button.
- Find the data item to be changed in the Data Table.
-
Enter a manual value in the relevant Read Value or
Written Value field.
- Check how the user controls respond to the new value.
- If necessary, use the SIMULATION menu to reset all data.
- Click RESUME to continue automatic simulation.
| Stage |
Operation |
| 1. Start |
Start automatic simulation. |
| 2. Pause |
Use the SIMULATION → PAUSE command. |
| 3. Manual Value |
Enter manual values in the Read Value and
Written Value fields in the Data Table.
|
| 4. Test |
Check the behavior of user controls and the SCADA page. |
| 5. Reset |
If necessary, reset all simulation data. |
| 6. Resume |
Continue automatic simulation using the
SIMULATION → RESUME command.

Manual Data Entry During Simulation allows the automatic simulation running
in EOS SCADA Editor to be paused so that testing can be performed using values specified by
the user.
To do this, first open the DATA LIST and use the
SIMULATION → PAUSE command. In the paused simulation environment, manual
values can be assigned to the Read Value and
Written Value fields in the Data Table.
Manual values can be used especially to test how
user controls respond to different data conditions. All data can also be
reset when necessary.
After testing is complete, use the SIMULATION → RESUME
command to continue the automatic simulation with random and slowly changing values from
where it left off.
