Presence Simulations

The presence simulation records all defined variables of the visualization in a circular buffer. At midnight, all states are saved so that the simulation has a starting point. A day is only stored when it has been completely recorded. This prevents incomplete days from being stored. If no actions were recorded on a day, the entire day is discarded.

Structure of the Simulation

A presence simulation consists of the following objects:

  • Function Block PRESIM_CTRL (Control)
  • List of elements and variables to be recorded

In the upper context menu under Automation Presence Simulations, you will find the editor. There, the aforementioned elements are combined and configured using drag & drop. The Control is dragged from the structure into the upper folder, and the controlled Elements are dragged into the lower folder.

Warning: Note that no safety-relevant components may be included in the simulation, such as a blind or a pool cover.

The number of simulations is not limited. For each individual simulation, a control must be defined with the function block PRESIM_CTRL.

Tip: In the configuration of an element, you can define which variables are included in the presence simulation. This is also applied when unpacking a folder.
