Configuration Procedure

Follow the procedure below to efficiently configure your system and minimize your time to startup.

Host PC Configuration

1.Configure the DDE Server. Your Host PC will likely have several versions of the DDE Server installed (RS485-Modbus, TCP/IP Modbus, TCP/IP Encapsulated Modbus and Ethernet-TCP/IP). Configure only the server appropriate for your PMCS network interface (GE32MODB, GE32MTCP, GE32GTWY or GE32ENET). See GEH-6510, Network and Device Configurator, for complete details.

2.EPM 7700, EPM 7600 and EPM 7500 users only (all others proceed to step 3): Configure the Communications Server and GE 7700 Gateway Server. If you installed the EPM software options and you are going to use EPM 7700, EPM 7600 or EPM 7500 devices in your PMCS network, you will need to configure both the Communications Server and the GE 7700 Gateway Server. For Comm Server configuration instructions, refer to EPM Software Components Configuration later in this guide. For GE 7700 Gateway Server configuration instructions, refer to DEH-40035, the GE 7700 Gateway Server User’s Guide.

3.Configure the user interface. If your system was provided with a generic HMI software application, either load or create the custom HMI (using the Interface Toolkit wizards, if appropriate; see DEH-210, CIMPLICITY PMCS Interface Toolkit or refer to the HMI software’s documentation.

4.Configure the applications. As appropriate, configure the following application modules, referring to the instruction manuals provided.

•Event Logger, GEH-6512

•Waveform Capture, GEH-6511

5.Test the applications. Test the functioning of all applications to ensure proper Host PC operation. Do not proceed to step 5 until you are sure the Host PC operates as expected.

6.Set up NetDDE. If your system has one or more View Nodes, set up NetDDE shares and trusts in the Host PC, following the procedures in GEH-6510, Network & Device Configurator and the CIMPLICITY HMI documentation.

7.Set up NetDDE. If your system uses the PMCS Waveform Capture client, and you intend to access waveform data from View Nodes, set up NetDDE shares and trusts for the PMCS Waveform Server following the procedures in GEH- 6511, PMCS Waveform Capture Module.

Viewer Workstation Configuration

1.Configure the user interface. Load the custom MMI. Refer to the CIMPLICITY HMI documentation as appropriate.

2.Configure the applications. As appropriate, configure the application modules, referring to the instruction manuals provided. See step 3 of the Host PC Configuration for the appropriate instruction manual numbers.
