Open the ISPSoft software, and select the newly added driver AH500 Simulator from the Communication Settings.


Download the programs to the simulated PLC, and you are all set to run the simulation in online mode.


Make sure to turn the simulator switch to RUN on the control interface. (Please download the programs before executing "RUN". Otherwise, ERROR alarms will be given via the indicators.) You may click the IO Module button to monitor the status of the modules.



The ISPSoft software allows the simulation of one single driver for the DVP series PLC at one time, while it provides for the simultaneous simulation of up to 4 drivers for the AH series PLC.
