representations of power management devices, complete with working controls that are linked to the corresponding devices in your facility. • Chapter 6 describes the Tabular Data wizards. These wizards list the data and setpoints of power management devices in a tabular format. Simply point and click to select the appropriate tab of information to display and view the related data. The examples and references in this guide enable you to create custom interfaces for your PMCS system, and allow you

Configuring a CIMPLICITY Project for PMCS Using the wizards is straightforward. The procedure outlined in this section describes how to place and configure a PMCS wizard in CIMPLICITY HMI. Later sections describe using/testing a wizard and go further into describing each kind of wizard. 1. From CIMPLICITY HMI, create a new project by clicking the New Project button or selecting File: New Project. The New Project window appears: 2. Enter the Project Name and select a directory where the project s

3. In the Project Properties window (Options tab), select the Enable project broadcast checkbox if you will be using CIMPLICITY HMI view nodes. Make sure the Computer name field matches the name of the host machine. Disregard the Startup Timeout field and the General tab. Select OK to open the CIMPLICITY HMI Project Wizard: 4. In the CIMPLICITY Project Wizard step 1 of 3 window, choose Finish to complete the project setup. 5. The CIMPLICITY Workbench is displayed as shown below: Double-click PMC

PMCS PowerBuilder - Configuring Advanced Wizards PMCS Power Builder is a powerful tool to drastical reduce development time, enabling you to quickly and easily add many devices to a new CIMPLICITY project. Besides enhancing your productivity as a developer, PMCS Power Builder also allows you to create more efficient applications which use fewer system resources and enjoy greater performance. This is due to PMCS Power Builder's integration with the PMCS Advanced Wizards. These wizards employ tech

Add Device – use this button to create a new device in your application. You can also add a device by double clicking any empty line in the device information section of the PowerBuilder screen, or right clicking and selecting "Add" from the drop down menu. Modify Selected – use this button to change the Description, Resource, and application information for an existing (selected) device. You can also modify a device’s configuration by double-clicking a listed device, or by right-clicking an exi

Device Configuration Dialog - most PMCS Advanced Wizards Select a Device Type from the pulldown menu and enter the device's name in the Device Name field. Enter a description (optional). Select a Resource from the pulldown menu. Complete the Application Name field with ION_LINK. Complete the Node Name field with the name of the computer running the Comm Server connected to this particular device. Complete the Gateway Name field with GE77GTWY. See the following note for details. Device Configurat

Choose the desired tabs to display on the Wizard, and use the right and left arrow buttons to move the desired tabs from the Available Tabs box to the Selected Tabs box. Device Configuration Dialog - 369 Complete the Application Name field; typically GE32MODB, but if UCA/MMS is selected, enter AXS4MMS or name of MMS Server. Select the Model of UR which you are configuring. This determines the contents of the Available Tabs list. Use the right and left arrow buttons to move the highlighted tabs b

When you are done adding devices, you can generate the screens for all devices in one step by choosing the Generate Screens button. The PMCS Power Builder tool creates one tabular screen per device type and one small faceplate per individual device, following the many-to-one architecture of the PMCS Advanced Wizards. Note: While PMCS Power Builder can generate screens for most of the PMCS Advanced wizards, there are some exceptions. The Annunciator Panel and the EPM7700 screens are not automatic

For the highly-flexible UR and 369 type devices, Power Builder creates a blank "framework" wizard, with no pre-drawn tabs. In CimEdit the wizard will show no tabs - the tabs will be dynamically redrawn based on the physical device being accessed. For example, if you use different models of the Universal Relay in your application, you might need to display a unique set of tabs for each type of relay. With dynamic redraw, you only need a single tabular wizard in your project to show any combinatio

Device Configuration - Special Considerations for EPM 7700 only The EPM 7700 Device Configuration dialog box contains two extra fields, which must be completed during configuration. The Node Name field requires that you enter the name of the computer running the Communications Server that connects to this particular device. Depending on the configuration of the EPM 7700 network, this can be either the Primary node computer, or a computer setup as a "Full Station" Secondary node. Refer to DEH-400
