Hello,
Please find the below resolution steps:-
-Under Project, right-click on the Connectivity folder and create a Channel of type Simulator (this is where you probably chose Yokogawa). In the following popups I keep the default settings.
- Right-click on the Channel that was just created and create a new Device. Again I keep the default settings in the following popups.
- Right-click on the Device that was just created and create a new Tag Group.
- Now in the Tag Group we can create new tags. As an example, one with address S0001 and type String.
I believe the Channel type Simulator is the big difference that enables addresses like S0001 to work for dummy tags. I have other Channels with other types and Kepware won't let me add tag addresses like S0001 in them, I'm guessing that's the problem you're having. And Simulator also allows me to use functions as addresses for my testing, like RAMP (value increases, good for quantity tags) and USER (go through a specific list of values, good for status & name tags). For example, address RAMP(1000, 0, 100, 1) will go from 0 to 100, increasing by 1 every 1000ms.
Note:-Since the simulation driver is not a licensed aspect of KEPServer, it is not supported. Its functionality or any unexpected behavior will not be addressed by Technical Support, and any potential defects will not be addressed by Development. The Memory Based driver is the supported solution within Kepware Products.
