Rice Lake CB-2 Concrete Batch Controller Version 1.0 - Manual (Page 59)

CB-2 Simulation Mode 56
10.0 CB-2 Simulation Mode
The CB-2 has a Simulation Mode that is useful for training and/or demonstration purposes. While in Simulation
Mode, the CB-2 executes the same batching logic as in real batching mode, however the weights and meter
pulses are simulated.
10.1 Activating Simulation Mode
Simulation Mode uses Program Scales instead of the standard A/D source scales. Therefore, the only way to
enable Simulation Mode is download a different scale configuration using iRev.
Use the following steps to activate the Simulation Mode on the CB-2.
Open iRev on your PC or laptop and open the file named concrete_x_scale_simulation.920, where x
is 2 for a standard dual scale.
6. Press on the Connect icon on the toolbar, or select
Communications->Connect
from the menu.
7. If the connection was successful, select
Communications->Download Configuration
.
8. Check only the
Standard Configuration
box as shown in Figure 10-1.
9. Press the
Begin
button as shown in Figure 10-1.

10. The download should only take a few seconds. When the download is complete, the
Abort
button will be
grayed out.
11. Press the
Close
button.
12. Press the
Save and Exit
softkey on the 920i display.
13. After a few seconds, the 920 will return to Normal Mode and the software version should be displayed,
followed by the text Simulation.
10.2 Running in Simulation Mode
After following the steps in Section 10.1, the Simulation Mode will be enabled. The operation of the menus and
parameters under the Admin Menu will all work the same. To simulate batching, simply prepare and run a load
exactly the same as a real batch. See Section 4.1 for complete description of the parameters that may be changed
to setup Simulation Mode.
