4-20 mA Current Loop Simulator

Run or step a virtual process signal and observe how transmitter current, PLC raw counts, and the HMI engineering value respond to healthy and faulted loop conditions.

Simulation controls

Move the process position to preview the signal path. Toolkit or Pro Toolkit unlocks fault modes, configuration values, Run, and Step.

Live signal path

Follow the value from the process through the transmitter, PLC input, and HMI.

Healthy loop
1. Process
50%
2. Transmitter

Free preview

Change one representative condition and watch the visible preview state respond.

Paid operation

All conditions, Run, pause, Step, fault injection, and complete state transitions require paid access.

Model boundary

This simulator demonstrates signal relationships and example fault behavior. Exact underrange, overrange, raw-count, alarming, and fail-safe behavior depends on the transmitter, input module, configuration, and control program.
