CIMPLICITY HMI for Windows NT (Intel) Version 4.01 with HMI Service Pack 9 or CIMPLICITY HMI for Windows NT (Intel) Version 5.00 with HMI Service Pack 1is required. Other versions of CIMPLICITY may not be compatible with PMCS.

If you are installing CIMPLICITY HMI, follow the directions provided with the software (inside the CD jewel case). Choose CIMPLICITY HMI as the product to install, then select either the HMI Server or Viewer as the product option to install, and C:\CIMPLICITY\HMI as the installation directory. If you install the Server option, also install Server Option - Communications - Advanced DDE/DDE

Client.

Installing Additional Software

Install any additional software, such as Microsoft Excel, at this point in the procedure. Follow the instruction procedures provided by the manufacturer.

For instructions on installing SISCO Systems' MMS Server for use with PMCS, refer to the section titled Using MMS Servers with PMCS.

RS485 PMCS Network Interfaces

If you are using an RS485 interface card to connect to the PMCS network, install the card following the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Be sure to install any Windows NT drivers provided by the interface-card vendor. Typically, drivers are installed at Control Panel>Network>Adapters>Add Adapter by following the instructions. You may be prompted to insert the manufacturer’s disk into the A: drive.

From the Network control panel, select the Adapters tab, then click Add.
