TRANSDUCER_VALUE - Contains the value read from the transducer position source.
TRANSDUCER_STATUS - Contains the status read from the transducer position source.
ENABLE_DISABLE	-	Enables	simulation	of	the	SIMULATE_VALUE	and	SIMULATE_STATUS	when	
selected.
Enabling Simulation 
Before	the	ENABLE_DISABLE	in	the	SIMULATE	parameter	may	be	selected,	the	hardware	simulation	
must	be	enabled	for	the	device.
To	enable	simulation	in	the	device,	set	the	SIMULATE	dip	switch	to	the	“On”	position,	select	
RESTART_PROCESSOR	in	the	Resource	block	RESTART	parameter.
To	ensure	that	simulate	is	permitted	in	the	device,	go	to	the	Resource	Block	and	read	the	BLOCK_
ERR	parameter.	It	should	indicate	Simulation	Enabled.
Simulating the Transducer
To simulate the READBACK parameter, set the SIMULATE parameter as follows:
1. Set ENABLE_DISABLE to ACTIVE and write the parameter.
2. Set SIMULATE_VALUE and SIMULATE_STATUS as desired and write the parameter.
3. Read the READBACK parameter. This should reflect the value and status which was set in the
SIMULATE parameter.
NOTE:	The	TRANSDUCER_VALUE	and	TRANSDUCER_STATUS	will	continue	to	be	updated	by	the	
transducer	source	as	described	in	the	next	section.
Transducer Position Source Selection
The	source	of	the	TRANSDUCER_VALUE	and	TRANSDUCER_STATUS	in	the	SIMULATE	param-
eter	is	determined	by	the	FEATURE_SEL	parameter	in	the	Resource	Block.	If	FEATURE_SEL	
OUT_READBACK	not	selected	(default)	then	the	transducer	source	will	be	the	AO	OUT	parameter.	If	
FEATURE_SEL	OUT_READBACK	is	selected	then	the	transducer	source	will	be	the	FINAL_POSITION_
VALUE	from	the	Transducer	Block.
Because	the	FINAL_POSITION_VALUE	in	Logix	3400IQ	transducer	block	reflects	the	actual	actuator	
position,	the	OUT_READBACK	feature	should	be	always	be	selected	during	normal	operation.
AO Block Mode 
To	connect	the	AO	block	input	to	the	output,	the	AO	block	must	be	in	AUTO	mode.
