CIMPLICITY software provides a faster and easier way to implement, maintain and
grow your automation system with a true client/server architecture. Comprised of
two main components, high performance servers and flexible viewers, this efficient
architecture is scaleable from a single-node HMI to a multi-node, networked system.
You can start small, then easily add servers and viewers without having to replicate
your point database from node to node. This significantly reduces the time and effort
required to implement and maintain a system.
From the plant floor to the enterprise level, CIMPLICITY softwares open
architecture enables it to mesh seamlessly with other systems. This eliminates the
need for custom, inflexible solutions for your applications and provides faster and
easier access to information from anywhere within your process.

35,000 and unlimited I/O count servers. I/O count is based on actual device points
collected by the node. Virtual points (points which reside in the computers memory)
are not counted. For added flexibility, any CIMPLICITY HMI system can access
points from another system. Points accessed from other systems do not count
towards the total I/O count. Viewers do not directly collect I/O and there is no
limit to the number of points they can display.
Technically Advanced
One of the most technologically advanced, open-systems-designed HMI products
today, CIMPLICITY HMI brings GE Fanucs extensive experience with true
client/server, multi-tasking, multi-user operating systems into the Microsoft
Windows NT world. Its designed using the standards and 32-bit code of Microsoft
Win32. And with the incorporation of Microsoft standards into the product design,
CIMPLICITY HMI can handle your most demanding applications.
Open Systems
CIMPLICITY HMI also connects to your enterprise-level systems. It lets you
distribute production requirements to the shop floor and feedback production
results. This two-way information flow helps you construct an integrated plant floor
information system. With MES applications and remote, web and wireless products,
CIMPLICITY HMI seamlessly extends the reach of your monitoring and control
system to a large number of users.
CIMPLICITY Viewers If you want to add users to your system, you need CIMPLICITY
Viewers. You must have a CIMPLICITY Server before you consider the purchase of
Viewers. Viewers receive data from CIMPLICITY Servers.
CIMPLICITY Development Viewers If you want to modify an existing project without
physically going to the Development Server, choose CIMPLICITY Development
Viewers. You cannot create a project with just a Development Viewer. You must
have a Development Server to create your initial project and application.

CimEdit
Combining industry standards with advanced interface designs, CimEdit and CimView
provide an intuitive package that makes system design, configuration and operation
simple. The Windows interface allows you to be productive, right out of the box,
with no complex setup, installation or programming to learn. And with crisp graphics
and superior animation, CimEdit and CimView are a pleasure to work with.
CimEdit makes it easy to draw screens that accurately depict your production
process. It enables you to import OLE and Windows Metafile objects, plus ActiveX
objects like Trending, SPC Charts and Alarm Viewers. Third-party OLE and ActiveX
objects such as Excel spreadsheets and charts, bitmaps, video clips and sound files
can also be included.

Unique to CIMPLICITY
Objects can be aligned
automatically with a
configurable grid, or
aligned in groups using
the object alignment tools.
A Point Browser dialog box lets you access any CIMPLICITY point on the entire
network and use it to animate an object.
Frame Animation is a compound object that allows you to define a series of frames.
Each frame can consist of different objects and is displayed based on the value of
an expression. As a result, areas of the screen can change like a slide show.
Metafile Import lets you copy and paste Windows Metafile objects produced by
programs like AutoCAD and PowerPoint into CimEdit. The imported images
can be decomposed into CIMPLICITY objects. They can also be fully animated,
unlike bitmap imports, which remain single, static objects.
Advantages
Over 2,000 symbols* and
SmartObjects included
Easier system creation
and maintenance
Linked Objects
Object Library
Linked Scripts
Object Help can be configured for any object on the screen and easily accessed
at runtime by users.
Dynamic Screen Testing enables you to test screen editing changes in CimEdit
without changing your original screen. By using the test button on the standard
menu bar, you can automatically start a CimView window to view your edits
without committing to them.
Object Model
Using OLE automation, the Object Model offers an extensive external programming interface for CimEdit and CimView. You can automatically create and modify any screen using CimEdit features and enjoy complete control of CimView
from either a script embedded in CimView or from any Visual Basic application.
The Object Model greatly reduces the time required to create new systems based
on design and requisition data. If many similar screens are needed, a Visual Basic
program can be written to automatically generate them.

Marquee is one of the fastest, most economical ways to share critical system
information with a large number of users. Used for years in the automotive industry,
marquees are message boards that can be mounted in factory aisles to give users
status information about a process. The Marquee tool lets you send informational
and alarm messages to multi-line marquee displays. If there is a problem, it is
displayed on marquees for all users in the area to see. Operators and maintenance
personnel know about problems immediately, so they can respond faster and
minimize downtime.
Marquee is fully configurable, with no custom coding required to retrieve alarm
or message information. You can determine which set of CIMPLICITY alarms you
want to send to the actual marquee. For each Marquee message, you assign a
message ID, alarm ID, alarm state, message header, message footer, message text,
the marquees on which to display the message, the attributes associated with the
message, and any CIMPLICITY point values to be displayed with the message.
The CIMPLICITY Marquee driver works with marquees produced by
Total Control Products, Inc., UTICOR Technology, Inc., Static Controls Corporation,
American Ledgible, Inc., and Adaptive Micro Systems, Inc.

Recipes
The fast and affordable way to design
and manage recipes
Advantages
Significantly reduces the
cost and time to design
and manage recipes
Intuitive interface is
easy to use
Flexible design allows you
to group similar recipes
Recipes can span
multiple programmable
devices and different
brands of devices.
Manual and automatic
upload and download
of recipes
The CIMPLICITY Recipes option lets you create, maintain, upload and download
recipes (a group of set points) to your production processes. Powerful, yet flexible and
easy to use, it significantly reduces your cost and time to design and manage recipes.
CIMPLICITY Recipes lets you maintain device-independent recipes, sending
a common set of parameter values to the equipment of your choicetheres no need
to maintain separate recipes for each piece of equipment. This configuration process
saves you hours of setup and ongoing maintenance of your recipes.
Recipes are easily downloaded through CimView and are designed and
maintained through a Windows-based interface. CIMPLICITY Recipes fulfills batch
and discrete part processing requirements. It performs manual as well as automatic
uploads and downloads of recipes based on system events.
Recipe comparisons
Automatic reconciliation
of recipe groups
Import/export of recipes
to CSV files
How It Works
Recipe configurations are maintained
in recipe groups. Presented in a table
format, a recipe group contains all the
information required to produce a
product. The example below shows
a recipe group for bread, with recipes
for white, raisin and rye bread. These
recipes are stored in one recipe group,
because they have similar ingredients

Redundancy
Increase availability for mission critical systems
Advantages
Cable Redundancy
CIMPLICITY supports the use of dual Ethernet networks to connect CIMPLICITY
servers and viewers. Information is transmitted on both networks simultaneously
so messages wont be lost if a failure occurs.
CIMPLICITY Redundancy assures that your system will continue to operate in the
event of a hardware failure. CIMPLICITY supports redundancy at several levels to
minimize the effect of any failure.
Easy to implement
Minimizes loss of
system functionality
Points and alarms are
synchronized on
redundant servers.
Maintains security without
forcing additional logons
Minimizes load on your
data acquisition network
Both the primary and the
redundant server log data
to independent databases,
assuring a complete
record of historical data.
Automatic failover
of server node and
viewer nodes
PLC Redundancy
Server Redundancy
CIMPLICITY projects can be configured so that a secondary system is ready to
take over operations automatically should the primary system fail. It provides
an automatic switchover from your primary system to a backup, in the event of
a hardware failure. All main HMI functions are transferred during the failure,
so critical data acquisition, alarming, logging and security operations continue.
During normal operation, the primary system collects data from your devices
and updates the secondary system. This reduces the data collection load on the
devices, improving response time. In the event of a failure, the secondary system
automatically begins collecting data from the devices, assuring alarm states and
point values are accurate.
Database logging occurs on both
y
systems. So, if the primary system fails,

CIMPLICITY supports redundant PLC configurations and will switch between PLCs
when one fails or takes over control operations.

CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC combines the advanced features of CIMPLICITY HMI
and our Open CNC products. It offers superior operator interfaces, comprehensive
production monitoring and reporting, simplified data acquisition and highly efficient
cell control.
Data Acquisition
CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC collects probe data directly from the CNC using
Ethernet or High Speed Serial Bus (HSSB) interfaces. And with its ability to connect
to hundreds of PLCs and I/O devices, it easily integrates with auxiliary systems,
gauging devices and vision systems.
All data can be displayed directly or logged to standard databases like Microsoft
Access or SQL Server. This simplifies report creation. You can also analyze and
display this data in charts or reports with the CIMPLICITY SPC option.
Cell Control
CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC has been a key component in automated cell control
applications. It lets you integrate barcode readers, palette and motion controls, and
other automation equipment into your application. Tool use can be monitored with
timer and counter functions that alert you when its time to replace a tool.
CIMPLICITYs Basic Control Engine offers Visual Basic-style programming,
so you can develop the high-level logic required to implement machining cells. For
example, Basic scripts can be used to automatically identify and download part
programs based on product identification with a barcode scan. With over 600 standard
functions, plus special Visual Basic extensions to interface with the CIMPLICITY
real-time Basic Control Engine, cell control is more affordable for machine tool builders.
and development of
CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC
applications, call your
sales representative.
Plant Management
CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC provides seamless integration with plant networks for
easier part program management. Files can be downloaded from networked
systems, as well as backed up. Centralized programs make it easier to control
changes and revisions and ensure that the right program is used for production.
With CIMPLICITYs plant management reporting functions, supervisors can
measure plant productivity by tracking machine utilization, downtime causes and
production results. And because CIMPLICITY is an open system, its easy to create
reports or integrate CIMPLICITY data with other manufacturing systems and databases.
CIMPLICITY HMI delivers real-time production and quality data at the local
machine or throughout the enterprise over TCP/IP networks. Maintenance or
supervisory personnel are alerted to process alarms through standard numeric
or alphanumeric paging systems. And access to production or diagnostic data
is available over the Internet or through dial-in connections.

CIMPLICITY ERP Connect provides a robust interface to SAPs R/3 directly through
Remote Function Calls (RFCs) and the PP-PI Module (Production Planning - Process
Interface). The PP-PI interface is based on the SAP PI-PCS interface specification
standard and utilizes RFCs for communication with R/3. This interface can request
