A GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 23, 2009

GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has announced the latest version of its Proficy HMI/Scada Cimplicity control and visualisation software.

'Cimplicity 8.0 delivers insight into operations with features that help reduce costs and increase productivity,' said Claire Cerrato, general manager, automation software products, GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms.

'It also supports the latest operating systems and development platforms with Microsoft Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003,' she added.

Cimplicity 8.0 introduces a new way for developers to interact with their HMI/Scada application.

It features a new look and feel for the CIMEdit development environment, based on Microsoft-fluent User Interface (UI) technology.

The UI follows the Ribbon Bar concept, which enables quicker access to galleries and the ability to create custom menus.

Version 8.0 has a new graphics-rendering engine, including a larger development canvas functionality for runtime and development, transparency abilities, improved gradient shading, anti-aliasing, native picture support and a pipe object tool.

With a built-in CIMView rubber-band zoom tool that enables dynamic zooming from the toolbar, users have enhanced visual accessibility.

Cimplicity 8.0 features a dynamic time handling capability - changing time zones 'on the fly' is now native to the platform.

This capability is key to handling multiple global clients and clients progressively moving through time zones.

Digital Graphical Replay (DGR) 2.0 lets users replay and analyse past events in slow motion, real time or up to 10x the speed to identify and troubleshoot issues and prevent repeat occurrences.

Cimplicity 8.0 requires only a Microsoft Windows Vista/Server 2008 standard-user account.

It has been thoroughly tested to ensure full operation while using a standard-user account with no User Account Protection (UAP) security prompts, therefore reducing the risk of unauthorised file/program access and core system issues.

Version 8.0 also includes 100 Proficy Historian tags, providing applications with true information - not just data - for enhanced decision making.
