CREATING YOUR OWN SCREEN

In this lab, you will create your own CIMPLICITY HMI screen. This will be very easy with the
CIMPLICITY Symbol Library, which is included with the product. These pre-designed objects can be
dropped into screens and provide a tremendous productivity boost. You can also create your own objects for
use in future projects. These pre-drawn symbols are also very handy if you’re not very artistic! If you follow
the procedure below, you will be able to see a number of features, which demonstrate how easy it is to use the
CIMPLICITY HMI product.

From the preceding lab, you should already have CIMPLICITY HMI up and running. If not, please go ahead
and get the demo project started.

Click Start, select Programs from the Start menu, select CIMPLICITY then HMI from the Programs menu,
and then select the Demo Project icon. This will open up the CIMPLICITY Workbench.

Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 3

As you can see, the CIMPLICITY Workbench follows a Windows Explorer type format with a right hand
pane that shows the contents of the directories listed in the left hand pane. It is also very simple to start and
stop a project from the Workbench. To start the project, click on the Triangular Run button in the toolbar. A
“Run” status will appear on the status bar at the bottom right of the screen.

If you wanted to stop the project, you would click on the Square Stop button in the toolbar. A “Stop” status
would appear on the status bar.

With CIMPLICITY running, turn on dynamic configuration by clicking on the “Light Switch” icon in the
toolbar. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THIS LAB. We will need that dynamic
mode for the labs.

The word “Dynamic” is displayed on the right of the status bar when dynamic configuration is enabled.
Turning on the dynamic configuration mode allows you to configure and edit points while the project is
running! This is fabulous for project development. You don’t have to shut down and restart every time you
add or change a point. For production, you can turn this off to protect your project’s configuration from being
changed. This is great for keeping all that development work safe!

Creating a New Point

Let’s start by defining a new point that will measure temperature. Click on “Points” in the left hand pane of
the Workbench – all points in the project will be displayed in the right hand pane. Now, click on the “New”
button in the toolbar to start creating a new point.

Enter T1 in the Point ID field. This will be the name of our point. Now, click on Virtual since we are not
connected to a PLC, and be sure to select Analog. When you have entered all this information, click on OK.

The Point Properties page is now displayed.

CIMPLICITY configuration has two modes: Basic and Advanced. The dialog box shown below is in Basic
mode and displays only the fields that need to be filled in. Click on Advanced if you want to see the
Advanced options that CIMPLICITY offers. However, all we need for the Workshop is Basic configuration.

Note: Make sure the Data type field is set to INT. If not, click on the down arrow to the right of the field and
select INT.

Now, click on the Alarm tab. The first thing that we will do is create our alarm message. Click on the “ >”
symbol to the right of the Alarm Message field. From the pop-up menu, select Point ID. This will place a
%ID character in the alarm message field. This is an alarm message variable. Instead of having to type out
the point ID, you just enter the variable.

Finish the message by entering in the following: %ID is %STATE , Temp is %VAL!!! (Notice that both
alarm variables and regular text appear in the message.) Just as you entered “%ID,” you can enter
“%STATE” and “%VAL” by selecting “Alarm State” and “Point Value” by clicking on the “ >” symbol.

You will also notice that four Alarm Limit fields have appeared as well as an Advanced button. In the alarm
limit fields, enter the following: Hi-2 = 90, Hi-1 = 80, Lo-1 = 20 and Lo-2 = 10.

Select OK.

Open CimEdit

Now you are ready to create your new screen. Double-click on the “Screens” directory in the Workbench to
launch the graphic screen editor.

Open Wizard Library, Copy Object

From the CimEdit Screen, we will use the Object Explorer. Selecting this icon from the CimEdit toolbar
brings up a new window with a Windows Explorer type screen for navigating around the various symbols and
wizards offered by CIMPLICITY HMI.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.
CIMPLICITY® HMI Educational Workshop
Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 7

As you can see, the directory structure is shown on the left and a set of graphic symbols and wizards are
shown on the right. As you move around the directories, the objects will automatically update to reflect those
found in each directory. This makes looking for just the right graphic object a snap! No longer do you have
to hunt around the hard drive, trying desperately to remember the name of that file - you know the one, it had
a cool picture of a tank, showing a cutaway of the inside, and animated to reflect the tank filling and
emptying. Not anymore! With the CIMPLICITY HMI Object Explorer, you can simply browse through your
graphic files and treat them like HMI clip-art!

Now, take a minute to browse through all the provided symbols. Watch out though! We have included the
Reichard Symbol Factory, which brings the number of provided objects to well over 2000! And, although we
won't get into it in this workshop, YOU can add to these libraries any of the symbols and wizards that you
develop and commonly use just by creating a directory and placing your files there. It can't get any easier
than this!

Now we are looking for a wizard object that has a couple of up & down arrows and a bar chart that shows the
current process value. It just so happens we have one in the “3D Tanks” sub directory under the
“CIMPLICITY SmartObjects” directory.

Double-click on the the following object to paste into your screen.


______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.
CIMPLICITY® HMI Educational Workshop
Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 8

The object that you have just pasted in your screen is what’s known in CIMPLICITY as a “Smart Object.”
This symbol has already been designed for animation. Each “Smart Object” has it’s own set of configuration
properties. All you have to do is “fill in the blanks.”

There are two pre-defined variables in this Smart Object: Fill Value and Maximum Fill Level. Click on the
ellipsis (…) button to the right of the Fill Value field to bring up the point browser. Browse through the
points within the project and select T1 as the Fill Value.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.
CIMPLICITY® HMI Educational Workshop
Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 9

The Maximum Fill Level variable indicates the maximum value for the Temperature variable. We will give
it a range of 0 to 100. So, in that field, enter 100, and click on OK to accept these definitions.

The CIMPLICITY Group or Object properties is the standard for showing the attributes that make up a
complex group of objects or a single object. These properties are what color, define, and animate the object.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.
CIMPLICITY® HMI Educational Workshop
Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 10

Since we chose a Smart Object (pre-designed/configured), we were prompted with the simple variable
configuration window. All we had to do was assign values to the fields. If you want to make a change to the
object and how it works, you need to access the group or object properties. (The designer of the Smart Object
configured it all here in the Group Properties).

The Temperature object is a complex object, meaning that it is made up of other objects. To see all the
objects that compose the Temperature object, bring up the Properties dialog box by right-clicking on the
object and selecting Properties. Click on the Group tab.

Click on the “+” to the left of each symbol to expand the group object details. This group consists of many
sub-items. Scroll through the list and look at some of the items.

Notice that when you select one of the items, a white frame draws around that actual piece on the object.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.

Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 11

This is how you navigate through complex objects!

Click OK to exit the Properties dialog box.

Test Screen

We will now go into the test screen mode. Click the light bulb icon in the top toolbar.

This will start up CimView and put the screen you have been editing into runtime mode. Click on the up
arrow of the temperature object. You should see the fill bar start to fill upward. Clicking on the down arrow
will cause the fill bar to lower.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.

Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 12

Close the test screen by clicking on the “ X” at the top right of the window border. You should now be back
at the CimEdit screen! Click on the Save button on the toolbar. Save this screen in the screens directory (the
default) of the Cimpdemo project as “MYSCREEN.”

While CIMPLICTY HMI is running, you have defined a new point, added a new screen, and used a symbol in
the project. Not bad for your first time using the package!

The next few sections walk you through the construction and use of several more objects. They show you
how to add movement and rotation to graphic objects. If you have enough time, we recommend that you go
ahead and do each of the following sections. If you are running tight on time, just read along for now.
Remember, you can always go back and try these extra sections later or even another day when you have
more time!

Additional Objects
We will follow similar procedures to add some additional items to the screen and continue to show the ease of
creating and configuring screens!

Slider Object
Let's take advantage of the Object Explorer again. Moving through the available wizards, click on the sliders
sub-directory. We see a few likely candidates. Let's use the first one. A quick double-click and we've got it
in our CimEdit screen all ready for fine tuning to meet our needs!

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.

Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 13

Now let’s configure the slider Smart Object for use in our screen. This slider will also represent our
Temperature point (T1).

For the “Value” field, browse for and select the point T1. Enter "Degrees F" for the Units and
"Temperature" for the Label. Use double-quotes so that the text shows. Finally, click on OK to accept this
definition and to close out the Variables dialog box. Our wizard is now completely configured!

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.

Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 14

Before going on, let’s take a quick look at the alignment feature of CIMPLICITY.

Position the new slider object somewhere to the right of the Temperature object you already have in the
screen. Select the new slider object and then the Temperature object WHILE holding down the shift key
(they should both be selected now). Select the "align top" toolbar icon or click on the “Format” menu and
select “align - top” to align the tops of the two objects. Fast and easy - like using a drawing package!

Hint: Always select the object you want to align FIRST and then select the object you want to align to.

Voila! We are all done!

Note: You can also alter the properties of the object by going to the Group Properties of the Slider Object. If
you have time, look through the group and make some changes to text color, etc. Remember, to access the
properties of an object, you can right-click on the object and choose properties from the menu or use the key
command Alt and Enter.

Test out your screen! It should look something like this:

Creating a Simple Tank With Cutaway

Ready for another one? Let’s draw a simple tank first. Click on the rectangle button on the toolbar.

Now, hold down the left mouse button on the CimEdit screen and drag diagonally to create a rectangular tank.
To make this object look more like a tank, let’s double-click on it to bring up the Properties dialog box.

Click on the Colors tab. In the Fill section, click on the down arrow to the right of the Style field and choose
the Gradient option. This will bring up the Fill Effects dialog box.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.

Choose Color 1 as gray, Color 2 as white and select Vertical as the Shading Style. Finally under Variants,
select the lower left option and click on OK to return to the Properties box. Click on OK again to accept the
definitions. Now our rectangular object looks more like a tank!

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.

The next step is to select a tank cutaway to show the movement inside of the tank. Using our Object
Explorer, let's go to the Symbol Factory directory and click on the Tank Cutaway subdirectory.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.
CIMPLICITY® HMI Educational Workshop
Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 18

There's one we can use! Again, a fast double-click on the following and it’s ours!

Using predefined wizards and symbols is the fastest way to build screens. And since you can add your own
favorites, you can customize the library for the ones you use the most.

Now, let's change the properties of the cutaway to reflect the changes within the tank. Double-click on the
cutaway to bring up the Properties dialog box. Click on the Rotation/Fill tab. In the Fill section, click on the
“>” symbol to the right of the Expression field and click on Browse Point ID. This will bring up the point
browser dialog box.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.

Let’s select the DEMO_SAWTOOH point to show the movement within the tank. Click OK to return to the
Properties dialog box. Now you need to choose a color that will allow the animation to be visible. Let’s
choose yellow.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 20

We are now done with the tank cutaway. Click on OK to accept these definitions.

Now is a good time to show how to “group” objects together. After placing the cutaway over the tank, select
both objects while holding down the SHIFT key. Then click on the “group” button in the toolbar so that the
two objects are treated as one.

Now that you have a great-looking tank that actually shows what’s going on inside of it, it would be nice to
show the actual value of the contents of the tank. This is easy to do. Simply open up the Workbench and list
out the points. Single click anywhere in the right hand window pane of the Workbench. Type the letter “D”.
This will automatically bring you to the points that start with D. Find the point Demo_Sawtooth. Click on it
and Drag and Drop it into the CimEdit Screen.

There’s another way to add points to your screen. You can also click on the Text toolbar button.

Click somewhere above the tank that you have just created. A Properties dialog box will automatically come
up. Under the Text tab in the Display Value section, click on the “ >” symbol to the right of the Expressions
field to bring up the point browser. Select the DEMO_SAWTOOH point since it reflects the contents of the
tank. Click OK on the Properties box to accept the definitions.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.

Your screen should now look something like this:

Finally, it would be nice to have a way to start and stop the tank movement. Let’s create a button that will do
this.

Click on the Button icon in the toolbar.

Hold down the left mouse button somwhere underneath the tank and drag diagonally to re-size the button.
Double-click on the button to bring up the Properties dialog box. Under the Text Button tab, write the
following in the String field: Start/Stop.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Also, make sure that “Auto size” is checked – this will automatically size the button to the size of the text.

Now, click on the Events tab. Click on the down arrow located to the right of the Event field and choose the
Mouse Up option.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.
CIMPLICITY® HMI Educational Workshop
Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 23

Now let’s give this mouse up event an action by clicking on the “ >” symbol to the right of the Action field
and selecting “New Procedure” to bring up the Procedure Information dialog box.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.
CIMPLICITY® HMI Educational Workshop
Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 24

Click on the NEW button to create a new procedure. Click on the down arrow located to the right of the
Action Type field to choose Toggle Setpoint. Next, click on the “ >” symbol to the right of the Point ID field
and click on “Browse” to bring up the point browser.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.

Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 25

The DEMO_POINTS_START_STOP point is a predefined demo point that starts and stops all DEMO points.
Select this point and click OK to accept the new procedure.

That’s all there is to it! Your screen should now look something like this:

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.

Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 26

Now all you have to do is test it out! Before you do, though, let’s see the Point Control Panel at work. Bring
up the Workbench and click on the Points directory in the left hand pane. Now, select all the DEMO points
and the T1 point by using the CTRL key. Once they’re highlighted, right-click and select Point Control
Panel.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.
CIMPLICITY® HMI Educational Workshop
Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 27

As you can see, the Point Control Panel shows all the values of each selected point.

In order to start all the DEMO points, DEMO_POINTS_START_STOP needs to be set to a 1. To do this, just
double-click on the point to bring up the Point Properties dialog box, and enter a 1 in the Value field.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.
CIMPLICITY® HMI Educational Workshop
Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 28

To control the rate at which the DEMO points’ values change, you can double-click on the
DEMO_RATE_OF_CHANGE point in the Point Control Panel and set its value between 1 and 5, with 5
being the fastest rate of change.

Now let’s test your screen! Remember, you can also control the DEMO_POINTS_START_STOP point by
clicking on the Start/Stop button that you created.

Alignment and Even Spacing


Now, let's neaten things up!! First, select the text, tank and button objects while holding down the SHIFT
key. Now, we’ll space the three objects evenly in the vertical direction. Use the pull-down menu “ Format, -

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Space Evenly - Vertically” to spread them out evenly. Next we’ll align the objects. Use the pull-down
menu “Format – Align – Center.”

SCREEN BEFORE

You can also use the alignment grid feature to help position objects. This is literally a snap! As you move
objects around the screen, they will “snap” to the grid locations. You can also turn the grid off for even more
flexibility in positioning things.

SCREEN AFTER

Don’t forget to save the changes to your screen!!!

Color Animation

Another great feature of CIMPLICITY is the ability to do color animation! Let’s test this out with our
Start/Stop button. We will have the button turn green when it’s started and turn red when it’s stopped. To do
this, double-click on it to bring up the Properties dialog box. Then click on the Color Animation tab.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.
CIMPLICITY® HMI Educational Workshop
Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 32

Click on the Edit button to bring up the Expression List Attribute Animation Dialog box. This is where you

will create your color animation definitions. Click on the point button to the right of the Expression
field to bring up the Edit Expression Dialog box. Click on the Point ID button to browse for and select the
DEMO_POINTS_START_STOP point. In the Edit Expression Dialog box, add “EQ 0” to the expression as
follows:

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.
CIMPLICITY® HMI Educational Workshop
Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 33

Click on OK to accept the expression.

Continuing in the Expression List Attribute Animation Dialog box under the Details area, check the Fill
option and select Solid and Red. Repeat this process to define the Start color animation with its expression
being: DEMO_POINTS_START_STOP EQ 1. Also, check the Fill box and select Solid and Green as below.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.
CIMPLICITY® HMI Educational Workshop
Educational Workshop - Building a Screen 34

Click on Close to accept the definitions.

Now click on the Text Button tab. Choose the “Color Animate Button Face” option so that the button
changes colors, not the text.

We’re all done! Now, test out your screen! When you have the DEMO_POINTS_START_STOP point
started by setting to a 1, it should look like the following screen:

Rotation, Fill, Movement of an Object

Draw a rectangular box at the bottom right hand of the screen. Double-click on it to display the Properties
dialog box and edit as follows:

 Rotation – under the Rotation/Fill tab, enter DEMO_SAWTOOTH as the Rotation Expression
and make the Expr. Min/Max values 0 to 100.

 Fill – again, under the Rotation/Fill tab, enter DEMO_SAWTOOTH as the Fill Expression.
Enter 0-100 as the Expr. Min/Max values. Select a solid pattern and then Fill-from-bottom.
Under the color selection for the fill, click on the down arrow to the right of the field and select
your favorite color.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
GE Fanuc Automation North America, Inc.

Now you have a box defined. What’s it going to do? Well, it is going to fill up AND it’s going to move
around the screen for you. The filling action can be used to create bar charts, tanks of various types,
indicators, dials and gauges. And the movement? Well, that was just to make it fancy! No, really. You
could show railroad tank cars being filled and then moved along the track or grain hoppers in a farming
application that carries grain. Hmmm…maybe hoppers of minerals in a mining application being filled as
they move. How could you use this in your application?

Test out your screen!

Text with Movement and Rotation

Where would we be without text? Let's add some into the screen. Enter some text at the top of the screen
(your name, for example) using the text button in the toolbar.

In the Text tab, enter your name in the “String” field.

Click on the Movement tab. In the Vertical Movement section, enter DEMO_SAWTOOTH as the
expression,
0 to 100 as the Expr. Min/Max, and -100pt as the Move Offset.

Click on the Rotation/Fill tab. In the Rotation section, enter DEMO_SAWTOOTH for the rotation
expression, 0 to 100 as the Expr. Min/Max, and 0 degrees for the Center offset. You can play around with the
center offset and Max/Min angle to see how it changes the rotation of the text.

Test the New Screen

What’s it going to look like? Let's see right now! We don’t have to wait for all the other screens to be built.
We don’t even have to leave the screen editor! Just click the Test Screen icon in the toolbar.

Click on the Start/Stop Button you created. The rectangle should move upward while rotating and filling.
Note how we maintain the fill orientation from the bottom of the screen. Wouldn’t want that stuff spilling
out, would we? Can’t any package do this? Well, frankly, no. This is another example of the features
available in a full function package like CIMPLICITY HMI. By the way, look at that text going. Not
everyone can do that either. Use that to move the labels around the screen as you animate other objects in
your screen.

Click on View and select Zoom to Best Fit. Shrink the test screen down to about 1/4 of the screen. Place the
window in the upper left-hand corner of the screen.

One last trick – place the mouse over the bakcground of the test screen, right-click, and select Quick Trend.
This tool allows you to immediately view new trends at runtime. If you position the mouse over a single
point, you’ll trend only that one data value.

Congratulations!! You’ve finished this section of the Workshop. You took advantage of pre-built symbols to
save you time. And you used the points already defined in the application to create another way of looking at
the same data - a way that works for you. With CIMPLICITY HMI Viewers, you can set up many users to
have access to the data. Each can either build their own screens to fill their needs, or they can take advantage
of screens built by someone else. Either way, their CIMPLICITY Viewer gets data from a CIMPLICITY
Server doing all the hard work of collecting and logging data.

Save your work! We’ll use this screen again later.
