Proficy HMI/SCADA – CIMPLICITY - Sigmma

1 Proficy * HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY *Today s production and process environments share one important trait they are only as effective as the quality of the data they are built upon. Inorder to truly understand and control your operations, you must be able totrust that your data is fully accurate, relevant and up to date. Furthermore,you must be able to share that information with users across your part of GE Fanuc Automation s Proficy family of software and solutions, Proficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY gives you that power. With an open systemdesign approach, a true client/server architecture, and the latest web tech-nologies, CIMPLICITY allows you to realize the benefits of digitization for thecollection, monitoring, supervisory control and sharing of critical processand production data throughout your data collection, monitoring and controlGE Fanuc AutomationPowerful Data CollectionCIMPLICITY s open communications strategyenables you to connect to hundreds of othersystems and devices.

2 Through native driversand standard communication interfaces suchas OPC, you are capable of collecting data fromvirtually any third party device. The product strue client/server architecture provides for thisdata collection, as well as the seamless sharingof the information out to multiple users or otherplant EnvironmentCIMPLICITY WorkbenchPatterned after the Microsoft Windows Explorer, the CIMPLICITY Workbench provides an integrateddevelopment environment and gives users a new perspective on the application configuration,offering power and flexibility. CIMPLICITY ToolsEach CIMPLICITY system includes a complete set of tools that give you the functionality youneed to construct and integrate your mostdemanding applications.

3 These include: CimEdit the development environment for visualization screens that accurately depictthe production process CimView the runtime visualization environ-ment that displays process information in bothtext and graphic formats Symbols and Objects Library an extensivelibrary of symbols, along with the powerfulSmartObjects feature, that allow for an easyapplication creation and maintenance. WithSmartObjects, you can create your own customobjects and easily drag-and-drop them into the screens. Alarms and Alarm Management extremelyflexible alarm routing, sorting, filtering and blocking capabilities Basic Control Engine script and programapplications with a Visual Basic style language Point Control Panel allows you to verify the data collection and alarm configuration of your system without configuring a singlegraphics screen Alarm Viewer an ActiveX object that can be embedded into screens to create a single.

4 Seamless interface for your processAdvanced Visualization CIMPLICITY provides several visualization optionswhich give you a great deal of flexibility and control over how and where you view your HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY ViewerThe Proficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY Viewer is thestandard CIMPLICITY client . It serves as a traditional PC-based client in that it is installed on the hard disk and accesses data from a localor remote server. Applications that can be run on CIMPLICITY Viewer include real-time graphics,trending, alarming and reporting. A CIMPLICITYD evelopment Viewer option is available thatallows users to perform development on lineincluding building graphics and adding points to local or distributed HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY TerminalServer ViewerThe Proficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY TerminalServer Viewer is a thin client and web solutionthat makes use of the Microsoft Terminal Servertechnology and provides the capabilities of astandard CIMPLICITY Viewer.

5 From any CIMPLICITYT erminal Server Viewer station, users have complete access to their screens and the CIMPLICITY Server making full use of CIMPLICITYV iewer technology, ActiveX controls and thirdparty content .With Proficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY users can create powerful interactive screensthat allow users to review and control process HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY FeaturesProficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY WebViewProficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY WebView is an additional thin CIMPLICITY client solution for distributing information to many users. CIMPLICITY WebView is a fast , easy and cost-effective way to send CIMPLICITY information to users over the Internet or Intranet.

6 Master Objects Master objects are template objects that canbe created and used identically on multiplescreens. In addition, scripts can be linked to the master object that will be automaticallyreplicated as well. Database LoggerCIMPLICITY provides you with the ability tochoose how and where you want to store yourcritical and valuable production and processinformation. CIMPLICITY supports logging tothe Proficy Historian, Proficy SQL (MicrosoftSQL), and Oracle. You can choose to log to one, or all of these data repositories if you choose. TrendingTrending allows you to analyze data collectedby the CIMPLICITY system or by other third-party software packages.

7 This includes thecomparison of current trends with historicaltrends to quickly identify and correct processmalfunctions. ScriptingScripting is provided to extend the CIMPLICITY capabilities for tailoring individual applicationsaccording to specific needs. Scripts can beexecuted based on process events, such aschanging the value of a point , a specific alarmstate or can be based on time of day. System PointsCIMPLICITY provides many predefined SystemPoints on a wide variety of topics, such asproject and computer information, date andtime, and alarms. Dynamic Measurement SystemsCIMPLICITY projects can be developed to let youdynamically switch between different measure-ment systems with a simple point and click.

8 Dynamic Screen LocalizationThe Dynamic Screen Localization enables a CIMPLICITY application to be adapted to accommodate multiple users who speak different OptionsCIMPLICITY also offers a number of optional features that can further enhance the value of the software for your particular environment .Action CalendarThe Action Calendar gives you the power to cre-ate, maintain and execute a calendar scheduleof manufacturing events and correspondingactions. This allows controlling lights, heat andequipment based on a pre-defined HMI for CNC CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC provides the link of theHMI/ scada system to GE Fanuc s Open CNCproducts.

9 It offers operator interfaces, produc-tion monitoring and reporting, data acquisitionand cell control for a comprehensive integrationof CNC into the overall application. More infor-mation is available from s ToolkitThe Integrator Toolkit includes four powerfulapplication programming interfaces (APIs) thatenable users to develop custom applications,which integrate with CIMPLICITY include: Device Communications Toolkit Point Management API Login API Alarm Management APIsProficy HMI/SCADA CIMPLICITY can be enhanced with powerful option modules such as SPC that are fully operations can be monitored continuously and any SPC related alarms are handled with the same commonalarm viewer.

10 OLE for Process Control (OPC) OPC allows you to integrate CIMPLICITY with othersystems for seamless data exchange. There aretwo OPC components available within CIMPLICITY : OPC Client capabilities are built into HMIS ervers and allow for an easy integration ofthird-party device communications drivers OPC Server is a product option that providescapabilities to offer an open systems approachto integrating CIMPLICITY with other allow you to create, maintain, upload and download recipes (a group of setpoints) to the production process. In addition, they allowfor maintenance of device-independent recipes,sending a set of parameter values to the speci-fied equipment.
