Start KAS Simulator

To start the KAS Simulator perform the following actions.

1. Click on the Start menu
2. Select All Programs
3. Click Kollmorgen > Kollmorgen Automation Suite > Kollmorgen Simulator.

• 
  

• Simulator uses port 80 for the web server. This is mandatory for proper communication. Before starting Simulator, please close any application, such as VOIP, Skype, or IIS, that may use port 80. If another service is using port 80, you will receive a prompt to close the application and retry Simulator.

• If you are experiencing trouble determining what software is using port 80:

  1. Run netstat -o from a command prompt. This will output a list of ports and the process ID using the port. In this example, process 4000 is using port 80.

  C:\Users\Admin>netstat -o

    TCP    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:53442  pb-in-f125:5222       ESTABLISHED  4868
  
  C:\Users\Admin>

  2. Open Windows Task Manager, switch to the Processes tab.
  3. Click View > Select Columns... and ensure that PID (Process Identifier) is selected.
  4. Sort the Windows Task Manager by the PID column to easily find the name of the process which is using port 80.

The first time Simulator is run it will attempt to open some TCP/IP ports to allow communication. Your system's firewall will detect this and prompt for an action. Allow the Simulator to open the ports by selecting Unblock (Windows XP) or Allow Access (Windows 7).

• After the project is debugged using KAS Simulator, it can be downloaded to the real controller in production. This operation can be done simply by modifying the IP address of the device and then Download the Application.
