Hi Guys,
It's great to be back after the Spam cleanup.
I have a question regarding M172/EcoStructure HVAC. Is there a way to add expansion modules or simulate the I/Os from the expansion modules in the simulation?
Thanks

Hello,
Expansions can't be simulated.
The workaround is a program which copies physical input defined in the field section into global variables to be used in the entire project.
This copy physical to logic should be enabled through an IF NOT(xSim) THEN... in this way when simulator is running you can set xSim and force the values of logical input from the watch window.
