HMI for CNC Enhancements

OverviewCIMPLICITY HMI for CNC represents an advance in state of the art integration with GE FanucOpen CNC products. CIMPLICITY HMI gives you a complete user interface for GE Fanuc Series150B, 160B/C, 180B/C, 210B, 160iA, 180iA, 210iA, and Power Mate H, i-H, i-D controllers.CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC includes the integration of run-time Open CNC Drivers and Libraries,and Basic Operation Package 1 offered by GE Fanuc.

GE Fanuc Open CNC products include the ability to access the internal data structures of the CNCvia a fiber optic high-speed serial bus (HSSB). The HSSB link allows a personal computer runningthe CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC software to communicate with the GE Fanuc CNC to exchangedata, part programs, and alarms with the controller.

Full client / server support is available with CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC product. You can combineCIMPLICITY HMI for CNC with other CIMPLICITY HMI Servers and Viewers to offer a completesystem approach.

The procedure for installing the CIMPLICITY HMI software is described in the CD Liner Notes andin the CIMPLICITY HMI Base System User’s Manual (GFK-1180).

After you finish installing v4.0 of the CIMPLICITY HMI software, reboot your computer beforeinstalling v4.0 of the CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC software.

The procedure for installing the HMI for CNC software is described in the CIMPLICITY HMI forCNC Operation Manual (GFK-1341) and the CD liner notes.

To upgrade your projects after you have installed this release, open each project from theCIMPLICITY Workbench. You will be asked if you want the upgrade to be performed. Once theupgrade is performed, you cannot run the project under previous releases of CIMPLICITY HMIsoftware.

Chapter 1 of the Basic Operation Package 1 Operator’s Manual (GFZ-62994EN/01) describes aprocedure for installing the Basic Operation Package. Please disregard these instructions. The BasicOperation Package is automatically installed during the installation of the HMI for CNC software.

Upgrading from Previous ReleasesBefore you upgrade from a previous release of CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC:

1. Run the CIMPLICITY HMI Registration program and write down all the serial numbers.2. Save your projects if you want them. Remember, after you upgrade your projects, they

will not work with previous versions of CIMPLICITY HMI software.3. Shut down CIMPLICITY HMI software.4. Start the CIMPLICITY HMI installation process.5. After the installation finishes, reboot your computer.6. Start the CIMPLICITY HMI for CNC installation process.7. Reboot your computer when the installation process tells you.8. After the computer reboots, the installation procedure will continue. You will be told
