GE Fanuc took the years of experience gained working with true client server, multi-tasking, multi-user operating systems and brought it to the Microsoft Windows NT world.

At GE Fanuc, we have always worked in a bit world from our heritage with VMS and Unix-based systems, to today s Microsoft technologies it s just natural for us. Since GE Fanuc fully adopted the Microsoft standards into our product design we are accelerating the advancement of the product at a rapid rate in the market. And the results show in the product.

Viewers do more than just view you can perform control actions from them as well. This greatly reduces the time and effort required to implement and maintain a system. You can start small, and build on your success without limits. But we also understand that you probably don t care about acronyms you just want systems that are easy to install, easy to develop, easy to maintain, and won t be obsolete tomorrow.

That s the important aspect about adopting technology standards. ActiveX objects are selfcontained applications that can interact with other applications. ActiveX technology saves you development time by allowing you to drag and drop objects to create your applications.

Virtual points those points which only reside in the computer s memory are not counted. Viewers are used to view data from servers and have no limit to the number of values they can display. Development and Runtime options are available for all systems.

Development systems allow you to create new projects and can also function as a runtime system. Developm e n t Servers also allow you to run your project. For a single node application, a Development Server is all you will need. If you have several areas or applications you can create them on a Development Server and then deploy them on Runtime Servers.

This is often the case with OEMs or users with multi-node systems. Our team of engineers have a vast range of experience helping our customers and integrators implement their monitoring and control system solutions. Let us bring this experience to your project. You cannot develop a project with only a Development Viewer. You must have a Development Server that connects to a Development Viewer.

The Workbench provides an integrated development e n v i ronment that supports the comprehensive set of Power Tools. The Workbench provides ease-of-use feat u res such as drag-and-drop configuration, intelligent defaults, pro g ressive disclosure dialogs, configuration printouts, and pop-up tool tips.

Coupled with the Power Tools, you can significantly reduce integration time resulting in lower project implementation and maintenance costs. The Workbench window is divided into a left- and right-hand side.

By clicking on the appropriate folder or Power Tool on the left, you can view the corresponding configuration items on the right. For example, by selecting the Screens folder you can view the list of screens configured in the system on the right. You can open the Equipment folder and navigate down to a particular Device and view all of the points associated with it.

With the Workbench you have a new perspective on your configuration offering you more power and flexibility than ever before. The hierarchy of objects and folders on the left has been designed to organize your Power Tools into meaningful and time-productive groups. For example, the items such as Devices and Ports that are associated with Device Communications are now logically grouped into a folder. Once these are configured you may never need those tools again. That sub-tree can then be closed and you can put away those tools.

Drag-and-Drop The intuitive layout of the Workbench provides a great benefit for reviewing and understanding your project s configuration. But the ease-of-use improvements don t stop there! The Workbench provides drag-and-drop capabilities.

Developing, testing, and maintaining your projects has never been easier. You can easily toggle between modes.

When in Basic mode you are only presented with the configuration fields which are required to collect and alarm for a point. This m o d e reduces the number of possible configuration fields you see from approximately 64 down to 14! All that power is still available by simply toggling the configuration over to Advanced Mode. In Advanced Mode you obtain access to all of the point configuration c a p a b i l i t i e s. Progressive Disclosure is another way of simplifying Point Configuration.

For example, if you select to log information on a point, additional fields are displayed allowing you to select logging criteria.

Intelligent Defaults Point configuration has been improved with the introduction of Intelligent Defaults for certain configuration fields. Basic and Advanced Point Configuration The Power Tools consist of software options and ActiveX objects that provide the functionality you need to construct and integrate your most demanding applications. The object oriented graphics editor, CimEdit, and the run-time viewer, CimView, are easy to learn and use. They blend industry standards with advanced interface designs to provide you with an intuitive package that lets you perform operations easily and naturally.

Crisp graphics and smooth animation make CimEdit and CimView a pleasure to work with. Third party OLE and ActiveX objects such as Excel spreadsheets and charts, bitmaps, video clips and sound files can also be included in your screens. Windows users will quickly notice the toolbars located around the screen.

These provide the tools to create and modify your screens. Once objects are created, they can be resized, rotated or moved using the handles that appear when the object is selected. Any object can be animated by double clicking on an object to bring up its property pages. These property pages allow you to choose from a wide variety of animation and control functions. The object s property pages also allow you to navigate quickly and specify animation attributes including rotation, fill, movement, color and text annunciation, geometry, scaling, events, procedures and scripts.

Once the objects are placed on the screen, another toolbar provides a powerful set of alignment tools. Objects can be aligned automatically with a configurable grid, or aligned in groups using the object alignment tools, which include the ability to space objects evenly as well as align them in relation to each other. With this combination of graphic tools, drawing screens that accurately depict a production process is very simple. Standard Object shapes are provided for use in your system, including squares and rectangles, circles and ellipses, lines, polylines, arcs, pies, and cords.

Position, style, color and rotation are some of the attributes which can be defined. OLE and ActiveX embedded objects give your screens more power. Trend charts, spreadsheet charts, multimedia presentations, and live motion video can all provide power and extensibility to your system. OLE and ActiveX in-place editing of embedded objects allows you to view your screen as a single document without popping up other application windows.

Drag Excel charts into CimEdit. Drag objects from one CimEdit screen to another. You can also add to the library by creating your own set of SmartObjects. Group Editing provides the ability to edit properties of objects within a group without ungrouping the objects. Expression Variables provide the ability to use variables anywhere an expression or point can be used.

A variable can be replaced with either a string or numeric value. The substitution of a variable can take place at either edit time or at run time. Animation Movement and Rotation are two animations which can be performed on objects. Interior and Border Animation provides you the ability to animate the internal and outline aspects of objects. Interior Animation allows for color and pattern changes.

Border Animation changes the line surrounding the object. Visibility Animation allows an object s visibility to be controlled by an expression. If an object is invisible it cannot be selected. Scalable Objects provides the ability to change the size of an object based on the value of a point. The object can be scaled independently in the X and Y directions. Filled Objects allows you to fill from top, bottom, left, right, or bi-directional.

Bi-directional fill is a unique feature which allows you to configure a single object which can fill in two directions from a center point. This is ideal for bi-polar bargraphs.

Each frame can consist of different objects. A particular frame is displayed based on the value of an expression. This allows areas of the screen to change like a film strip. Hold Last Value can be defined on a project basis. This feature allows you to configure the system to hold the last known values of points in your CimView screens if the points go into an Unavailable State.

Text points in this state will display in a configured color determined for the entire project. This is in contrast to bitmap imports which remain as single static objects. Powerful animation techniques give smooth, flicker-free animation to your graphic screens. With CimView you will see your process information displayed in both textual and graphic format. Alarms, video clips, pop-up windows, and the large selection of animation features help you transform your process data into process information, allowing you to improve your quality, productivity and profitability.

With CimView you can: View easy-to-interpret process graphics and text information. Access powerful scripts by pressing a key or clicking on an object. Get a description of the animation and actions associated with an object with a click of the mouse.
