Proficy HMI / S C ADA -CIMPLICITY

Proficy HMI / S CADA -iFix

Proficy HMI/SCADA - CIMPLICITY® is based on a client–server architecture consisting ofServers and Viewers. Servers are responsible for the collection and distribution of data.Viewers connect to Servers have full access to the collected data for viewing and controlactions.

Servers and Viewers can be easily networked together to seamlessly share data without the

need to replicate your point database from node to node. For example, points areconfigured once and only once on a server. Screens can be developed and stored in a singlelocation on the network and accessed by any other CIMPLICITY display on the network.

Proficy HMI/SCADA - iFIX® is a client/server-based HMI/SCADA component of GE Fanuc'sfamily of software automation products. Based on open, component-based technology, iFIXis designed to allow easy integration and interoperability between your plant floor andbusiness systems. It includes functional and architectural features that reduce the designtime for automation projects, allow simple system upgrades and maintenance, provideseamless integration with third-party applications, and increase productivity.

The SCADA portion of iFIX provides monitoring, supervisory control, alarming, and controlfunctions. It guarantees the absolute integrity of data and provides complete distributednetworking capabilities.

The HMI portion of iFIX is the window into your process. It provides all the tools you need todevelop pictures that operators can use to monitor your process.






Data Collection & Archiving

Proficy Historian

Proficy Historian is a high performance data archiving system designed to efficiently collect,store and retrieve time-based information at extremely high speed efficiently. The systemarchitecture consists of the following:

Historian Server – The Historian server is the central point for managing all the client andcollector interfaces, storing and (optionally) compressing data and retrieving data. All tag

data (numbers, strings, BLOBs) are stored in a proprietary format in the archive database.The Archive Database consists of several files, each of which represents a specific timeperiod of historical data.

The server also manages the storage and retrieval of OPC alarms and events in either a SQLServer or MSDE database.

Collectors – The Historian includes several types of data collectors for collecting data from awide variety of applications.

The Calculation collector is designed to perform math and analysis on Historian data andstore the results on the server. The Server-to-Server collector boasts the same calculationcapabilities as the Calculation collector, but it stores the results on a remote server.

Most collectors are capable of performing first-order “dead band” compression as well as a“browse & add” configuration and store & forward buffering.

Clients – All client applications retrieve archived data through the Historian API. TheHistorian API is a client /server programming interface that maintains connectivity to theHistorian Server and provides functions for data storage and retrieval in a distributednetwork environment.

Version Control

ProficyChange Management

Proficy Change Management is a system manager hosted in the Engineering Workstationenvironment. It is the version control, security, and Audit Trail system for your automationand control development process.

Proficy Change Management is made up of two programs: a Server and a Client. The Serverstores Proficy Change Management configuration files and the projects that are kept underversion and access control. Clients connect to the Server to acquire settings or requestproject files.

A typical Proficy Change Management system includes a Server installation on a networkcomputer and Client installation on each workstation.





Proficy Batch Execution from GE Fanuc is one of the most powerful and feature-rich batchautomation solutions on the market today. Featuring a fully graphical and straightforwardapplication development environment, Proficy Batch Execution delivers complete datacollection, robust batch management, clear process visualization and powerful supervisorycontrol capabilities for all of your batch production needs.

Lab Exercises

This exercise will:• Explain the classroom orientation and layout, including specifics about the student and

instructor PCs, as well as the classroom network.

Lab Exercise 1: Classroom Orientation and Layout.

This lab is meant to provide the students with an idea of how the classroom PCs andhardware simulators will be used during the training. This is an important preparation stepfor the hands on exercises you will be working through in upcoming modules.

Network and Software Deployment

The Instructor will take some time to discuss the network, addresses and equipment that willbe used. The Instructor will also explain how Proficy Process Systems has been deployed forthe class.

Fill in the following information as provided by the instructor.

Lab Exercise 2: Instructor Walkthrough of a completed PPS project

This lab exercise is a demonstration of key functionality unique to Proficy Process Systems.This functionality will be a shown with a real-time project built within Proficy ProcessSystems.

You will be building your own project starting in the very next module. By the end of thecourse, you will have developed a simpler version of the Demo project.

The Demo project contains a number of pre-built screens designed to highlight ProficyProcess Systems functionality.

o Cascade Loop.

o Ingredient Control.

o Level Indication and Alarm.

o Agitator Loop.

o Product Output.

o Condensate Output.





This sample application is affectionately known as “The Giant Latte” mixer.
