Proficy HMI / SCADA
Accelerate development with modern HMI/SCADA tools
Get your free trialDeploy solutions faster with powerful new RAD tools including OPC UA auto-discovery, which significantly speeds database creation from OPC UA data sources.
CIMPLICITY also introduces a Classes/Objects browser for animations and expressions and improves Smart Object building capabilities with enhancements to reduce or eliminate scripting.
With CIMPLICITY, you can employ object-oriented design for easy repeatability and faster time-to-value through modeled context.
You can use classes and objects to build a structured database quickly. Modeling capabilities in CIMPLICITY allow you to create templated applications for repeatable assets, further speeding configuration.
Save time with repeatability. CIMPLICITY provides powerful tools for building your application quickly.
Discover and build: Discover you OPC DA and OPC UA data sources and devices, select which tags or which data objects in the case of OPC UA, and automatically build your database.
Object oriented: CIMPLICITY allows you to define classes (object types) such as devices areas, etc. define what attributes and variables, the alarm settings, and what display options such as entire displays or graphical objects.
By creating your object instances, it will automatically create the database points, configure alarms, and allow you to drag onto a screen to create the associated graphics enabling you to save significant time and leverage repeatable applications.
Save time and increase consistency.
Smart objects
CIMPLICITY comes with a rich set of predefined graphical objects for quickly assembling displays. This includes common ISA symbols, meters, pumps, piping tools, and much more. You can use existing objects or build using the rich animation tools to create your own library.
Linked objects
Create a common master library for your project. When using linked objects, changes to the master version are automatically propagated to all the screens. Use this capability to quickly change common symbols, colors and more.
Vector-based graphics: CIMPLICITY’s graphics are vector based to automatically scale to any display resolution. This means you don’t need to recreate your displays whether using on a low-resolution monitor or on an ultra HD 8K monitor. Stretch displays across multiple monitors and create large canvases.
Pan/Zoom/Declutter: CIMPLICITY allows for zooming into areas of the screen. You can create large displays and zoom into the areas. The zoom-level can then be used to declutter.
Other development capabilities and tools: Application Wizard /Project Wizard, Integrated Development Environment, Navigation Bar, CIMLayout, Layout Tool, Long Point Names, Menu System, Dynamic Language Switching, Languages, Logic Oriented approach, VisiconX Tools, and Fluent Interface Technology.
CIMPLICITY delivers a standards-based open ecosystem for superior interoperability and the foundation for IoT. CIMPLICITY reflects GE Digital’s commitment to OPC UA, ISA 18.2, ISA 101, and more.
Out of the box, CIMPLICITY can act as an OPC DA and OPC UA client and server allowing you to get data from common devices and other systems and allow business system to retrieve data from the CIMPLICITY server.
CIMPLICITY also includes a rich set of protocols for common PLCs. Industrial Gateway Server allows for connectivity to over 200 devices.
CIMPLICITY offers the extensibility to develop the solution for your specific application.
