Increased operationalproductivity andprocess improvementKeeping you ahead with the mostadvanced technologies, CIMPLICITYdelivers unprecedented insight into youroperations with powerful features thatimprove productivity and efficiency.Database Logger provides the ability to choose how and whereyou want to store your critical and valuable production andprocess information. CIMPLICITY supports logging to Proficy Historian,Proficy SQL, Microsoft SQL and Oracle.Trending allows you to analyze data collected by the CIMPLICITYsystem or other third-party software packages. You can comparecurrent trends with historical trends to quickly identify andcorrect process malfunctions; Quicktrends provide a fast, easyway to select any point and trend it with no configuration.Dynamic Time Handling enables dynamic time handling capabilityon the client side and allows the users to change timezones “on the fly”. This enables global applications and eliminatesthe guesswork on when the actual events occurred.Digital Graphical Replay 2.0 (DGR) allows you to replay andanalyze past events in slow motion, real time or up to 10x thespeed—enabling you to identify and troubleshoot issues andprevent repeat occurrences. DGR provides the ability to replaytrend data as well and drives more intelligent decision makingand accelerated issue resolution.Statistical Process Control (SPC) provides tools for data measurementand analysis, as well as process improvements andquality control. Collect data from sensors or manual input,receive alerts for problem conditions (i.e., out of control) and useanalysis tools to pinpoint the problem.Enhanced Security Protection reduces the risk of unauthorizedfile/program access and core system issues by only requiring aMicrosoft Windows ® Vista ® /Server 2008 standard user accountto develop and run your application. It’s fully operational whileusing a standard user account with no User Account Protection(UAP) security prompts.7proficy hmi/scada – cimplicity

A powerful graphics engine based on vectorgraphics enables high-performance runtime visuals.CIMPLICITY offers a variety of value-added optionssuch as SPC charts to monitor process quality.A powerful troubleshooting tool, DGR allows youto play back from a point in time, or you can havethe DGR search for conditions in the data andautomatically set start and stop times based onthose settings to determine the cause of events.www.gefanuc.com8

Enhanced control andminimized riskTo help you manage your systemsand protect your investments,CIMPLICITY delivers reliability, highavailability and performance.Powerful Data Collection enables you to connect to hundredsof other systems and devices. Through native drivers and standardcommunication interfaces such as OPC, you can collectdata from virtually any third-party device.Change-Based Execution Architecture enables you to acquiredata from field devices (either polled or via unsolicited communications),perform database math and logic, archive data,network data and run scripts—all based on change—unlikeother products that offer a scanned execution environment.CIMPLICITY Host Redundancy provides for the failover from aprimary computer to a secondary computer in case the primarycomputer fails, supporting redundancy at several levels to minimizethe effect of any failure.Change Management increases the security of your system,provides you with revision control of your projects and offerspowerful disaster recovery capabilities.Action Calendar gives you the power to create, maintain andexecute a calendar schedule of manufacturing events andcorresponding actions. This allows controlling lights, heat andequipment based on a pre-defined schedule.System Sentry provides real-time information about the healthof the computers and the CIMPLICITY application within anetwork—immediately alerting you to problem conditions andproviding tools to pinpoint the cause.Dynamic Configuration allows you to make changes, modificationsand updates to running CIMPLICITY projects withoutshutting down.9proficy hmi/scada – cimplicity

CIMPLICITY provides superior reliabilityand availability for the most demandingindustrial applications—maximizinguptime and continuous control forincreased productivity and profitability.www.gefanuc.com10

Faster time to solutionTo help you build your applicationquickly and easily, CIMPLICITY comeswith a powerful set of developmenttools and capabilities.Application Wizard guides you through the steps of gettingstarted with your new application so you don’t need to startwith a blank page, saving you hours of setup time.Screen Navigation helps operators easily locate the correctscreens. Using a drag-and-drop interface, you can create ahierarchical menu that appears in your tool bar, and configurecolors and fonts so that screens can follow themes.Scalable Screens allow you to modify dimensions of theCIMPLICITY screens without redrawing graphics. CIMView willscale the screens for various devices, so you don’t need todevelop new screens for different display sizes.Symbols and Objects Library features an extensive library ofsymbols, along with the powerful SmartObjects feature thatallows for easy application creation and maintenance. WithSmartObjects, you can create your own custom objects andeasily drag and drop them into the screens.Powerful Object Model provides an external interface toCIMEdit and CIMView to extend the capabilities of the system.You can drive behavior through a powerful API to integrate withERP and other external systems.Scripting extends CIMPLICITY capabilities and tailors the individualapplications according to specific needs. Scripts can beexecuted based on process events such as changing the valueof a point, a specific alarm state or can be based on time of day.Linked Objects allow you to create master objects as templatesand have those objects created and used identically on multiplescreens. The objects can contain graphics and scripts and arelinked to the master object—automatically replicating whenchanges are made to the master.System Points provide pre-defined information for your applicationssuch as project and computer information, date and time,and alarms.Powerful APIs allow you to develop your own direct interfaceswith the data and alarm information collected, managed, andmaintained by CIMPLICITY. This design provides seamless integrationof custom or third-party applications.11proficy hmi/scada – cimplicity

Dynamic Measurement Systems enable you to develop projectsand dynamically switch between different measurementsystems with a simple point and click.Dynamic Screen Localization enables a CIMPLICITY applicationto be adapted to accommodate multiple users who speakdifferent languages.Alarm Viewer is an ActiveX object that can be embedded intoscreens to create a single, seamless interface for your process.Easy to commissionOnce your project is developed, CIMPLICITY also offerstools for deploying and troubleshooting during thecritical commissioning phase.deployment server eliminates the need to manuallycopy the application files to the viewers, as updatedapplication files can be placed in the application server,and the viewers will automatically detect changesand update the files without user interaction. Runningviewers will have the option to update live displaysautomatically or ask the operator when to update.point control panel allows you to verify the datacollection and alarm configuration of your systemwithout configuring a single graphics screen.point cross reference enables you to easilylocate where various point data is being used to facilitatetroubleshooting your application.You can easily create navigation menus for your application.www.gefanuc.com12
