Screen Editing During Simulation

While simulation is running, screen editing cannot be performed in EOS SCADA Editor. Since simulation mode is intended for testing prepared SCADA pages, screen editing operations are not permitted during this process.

CAUTION: SCADA screens cannot be edited while simulation is running. To edit the screen again, the simulation must first be stopped.

STOP SIMULATION Button

To stop a running simulation manually, click the STOP SIMULATION button located on the quick access button bar.

EOS SCADA Stop Simulation button

This operation exits simulation mode and allows the user to return to screen editing mode.

Termination procedure:

  1. Check the simulation currently in progress.
  2. Display the quick access button bar.
  3. Locate the STOP SIMULATION button.
  4. Click the STOP SIMULATION button.
  5. Return to screen editing mode.

Stopping from the SIMULATION Menu

A running simulation can be stopped not only with the STOP SIMULATION button on the quick access button bar, but also by using the STOP button in the SIMULATION menu.

EOS SCADA Simulation menu and Stop option

Open the SIMULATION menu and click STOP. The running simulation is then terminated and the user can return to screen editing mode.

Information: There are two user-interface options for stopping the simulation: the STOP SIMULATION button on the quick access button bar and the SIMULATION → STOP menu option.

Automatic Simulation Termination

The user does not necessarily have to issue a command to stop the simulation.

When all open SCADA screens are closed, there are no active open screens remaining and the simulation ends automatically.

Automatic termination: When there is no active open SCADA screen, the simulation stops automatically and the simulation operating state ends.

Simulation Termination Methods

Method Operation Result
Quick Access Click the STOP SIMULATION button. The simulation stops and the user can return to screen editing mode.
SIMULATION Menu Use SIMULATION → STOP. The simulation stops and the user can return to screen editing mode.
Automatic Close all open SCADA screens. The simulation ends automatically.

Simulation Termination Workflow

  1. Check the simulation currently running in EOS SCADA Editor.
  2. Remember that screen editing cannot be performed while simulation is running.
  3. To stop the simulation manually, click the STOP SIMULATION button on the quick access button bar.
  4. Alternatively, use the SIMULATION → STOP command.
  5. Verify that the simulation has ended.
  6. Return to screen editing mode.

Conclusion

Stopping the Simulation allows the user to exit the simulation environment used for testing in EOS SCADA Editor and return to screen editing mode.

Screen editing is not permitted while simulation is running. The simulation must therefore be stopped before making changes to the screen.

The user can stop the simulation using either the STOP SIMULATION button on the quick access button bar or the SIMULATION → STOP menu option.

In addition, when all open SCADA screens are closed, the simulation ends automatically without requiring user intervention.
