CIMPLICITY HMI is based on a client server architecture consisting
of Servers and Viewers. Servers are responsible for the collection and
distribution of data. Viewers connect into Servers and have full access
to the collected data for viewing and control actions.
Servers and Viewers can be easily networked together to seamlessly
share data without the need to replicate your point database from nodeto node. For example, points are configured once and only once on a
server. Screens can be developed and stored in a single location on the
network and accessed by any other CIMPLICITY HMI display on the
network.
Servers can be licensed to collect data from, for example, 75, 150, 300,
700, or an unlimited number of device points. Exempted from the
point count are virtual points, which reside only in the computer and
points collected by another server. This I/O count architecture satisfies
customers with small single node systems, and leverages CIMPLICITY
HMIs strong client / server architecture for multi-node systems.
CIMPLICITY HMI provides the flexibility to build a larger system
through multiple smaller nodes without forcing you to purchase large
and expensive server hardware to service multiple users.

System RecommendationsYour system must meet the following minimum requirements in order
to successfully install and run CIMPLICITY HMI software.
You should also check theImportant Product Informationdocumentshipped with your release for any last-minute changes to these
recommendations.
Note:CIMPLICITY HMI Server and Viewer software may be run onMicrosoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows
NT Workstation, or Microsoft Windows NT Server software. However,
Microsoft Windows NT Workstation imposes a limit of 10 network
connections. Due to this limitation, the number of remote client/server and
device communication connections may be limited. If you require
connections to multiple devices and/or multiple remote nodes, you should
purchase Microsoft Windows Server for these applications.
Using Windows NT on Intel ProcessorsYou will need a Pentium
class PC (we recommend 90 MHz or better),
a VGA monitor (Graphics Accelerator recommended), and access to a
CD-ROM drive. Depending on the system type, you will also need the
following:

Version 4.0
64 MB 300 MB
Viewer WindowsNT

If you plan to support third party drivers such as Data Highway Plus
and MODBUS Plus, you will need an ISA bus.
If you plan to network to other PCs or use the Series 90 TCP/IP driver,
you will also need an Ethernet adapter.

Version Upgrades
A Version Upgrade takes an older CIMPLICITY HMI system and
upgrades it to the current version. Contact your distributor for
complete information about ordering a Version Upgrade.
If your current installation is in the 90-day warranty period,
the Version Upgrade is provided at no charge.
If your current version is out of the 90-day warranty period,you must purchase the Version Upgrade.

Running the Demonstration Project
About CIMPLICITY HMI DemosCIMPLICITY HMI includes a demonstration project that showcases the
features of CIMPLICITY HMI software. This project is automatically
loaded if you select it during installation.
You can use the demonstration project in two important capacities:
1. Run a demonstration overview about CIMPLICITY HMI and itsapplications.
2. Use the demonstration project to open the CIMPLICITY HMIWorkbench, which is at the center of a projects configuration. The
demonstration project provides you with a useful reference when
you are in the Workbench and learning about CIMPLICITY HMIs
many features.
This chapter describes how to use the CIMPLICITY HMI demonstration
project in the two capacities listed above.
Demonstration of CIMPLICITY HMI
Take some time to look through the CIMPLICITY HMI demonstration. Thedemonstration describes CIMPLICITY HMIs numerous features. It also
provides you with several application examples.
The demonstration, itself, was constructed in CimEdit, the softwares
interface editor. You will be viewing it in CimView, the softwares runtime
interface. Therefore, as you look through the demonstration, you will not
only see descriptions and examples of CIMPLICITY HMIs many
configuration possibilities. You will be experiencing them as well.

Demonstration Project in the CIMPLICITY HMI WorkbenchBecause the demonstration project that contains the configuration for the
CIMPLICITY HMI demonstration is a CIMPLICITY HMI project, it can be
opened, like any other project, in the Workbench.
Therefore, when you open the Workbench and begin configuring your own
projects, you have a valuable reference tool.
Note:If you ran the demonstration, the project will be running when youopen the Workbench.
This section describes how to:
Display the demonstration project in the CIMPLICITY HMIWorkbench
Start and stop a project
Displaying the CIMPLICITY HMI DemonstrationProjectYou display the CIMPLICITY HMI demonstration project in the
Workbench. You can learn more about CIMPLICITY HMI configuration
when you are in the Workbench, because all of the documentation is
available through the Workbench.
Note:Documentation is also available through the Windows Start menu.
To display the CIMPLICITY HMI demo project:
1. Select CIMPLICITYon the Windows Start menu.
2. Select HMI.
3. Select Demo Project

Guidelines for using Adobe Acrobat reader, which is usedby the CIMPLICITY HMI Book Reader
There are no jumps from the Contents or Index pages of theCIMPLICITY documentation. If you find an entry in the
Contents or Index, you can use the Findtool to find the wordin the body of the document, or to find the page number.
If you are accessing online documentation over a networkshare, the DOCdirectory must be on a mapped drive (such asX:\doc). The index will not work with a UNC path name(such as\\computer\share\doc).
If you see books listed multiple times in your search results, itmeans you have the index file loaded multiple times. To
remove duplicate index entries:
1. Select Tools on the menu bar.2. Select Search.
3. Select Indexes.
4. Remove any duplicate index entries.
