If no PLC is connected to <strong>WinCC</strong>, you can use the simulator to test your project.<br />

To activate the simulator, go to the Windows taskbar and click on "Start"<br />

"SIMATIC" "<strong>WinCC</strong>" "Tools" "<strong>WinCC</strong> Tag Simulator".<br />

Note<br />

A project has to be active (in runtime) for the simulator to function properly.<br />

In the simulator dialog window, select the tag that you want to simulate. For<br />

this, click on "Edit" "New Tag".<br />

In the dialog box "Tags - Project", select the internal tag "TankLevel" and click<br />

on "OK".<br />

In the tab "Properties", click on the simulation mode "Inc".<br />

Enter a start value of "0" and a stop value of "100".<br />

Select the check-box "active".<br />

In the tab "Tags", click on the button "Start Simulation". The table "Tags" will<br />

then display the tag "TankLevel" with its changing values.<br />
