Starting and testing a ProviewR system


In preceding chapters we have described how to configure a ProviewR system, how to create
PLC programs and how to create plant graphics. Now it is time to run and test the system.

This chapter shows how to:

- build the system.
- start the simulate environment
and the runtime monitor
- distribute
- start the runtime environment

Syntax check

Some classes have a syntax check method, checking that the object is correctly configured.
The methods of the signals objects check for example that they are connected to a channel, and
the method for a PlcPgm checks that it is connected to a plc thread object etc. The syntax methods
captures a great deal of errors, but does not guarantee that everything will work faultlessly.

The syntax methods are executed from 'Functions/Syntax Check' in the Configurator menu.
