Introduction
Welcome
The PMCS Interface Toolkit i s a POWER LEADER Power Manag em ent Contr ol
System (P M C S) tool that provides a cus tom toolki t to efficient ly create flexible,
accurate, and friendly user interfaces to your power management data. With the
PMCS Wizards (accurate graphical representations of power management devices
and other commonly encountered objects), you can create applications to provide a
customized interface that accurately represents physical, electrical, and geographical
plant layouts. The wizards can significantly cut new system development time,
providing results in less than an hour.
The PMCS Interface Toolkit allows you to create one-line diagrams, elevation views,
and fl oor plans that you ca n com bi ne with tabular data s cr eens and thr ee-dimensi on a l
device wizards to create a virtual representation of your facility and equipment. With
this graphical us er in terface, you a ctually see and control devices on the screen,
withou t having to mak e a trip ou t to the mete r o r tr ip unit.
The Toolkit, which consists of the CIMPLICITY
coupled with GE’s PMCS wizards, is easy to use, taking advantage of state-of-the-art
drag-and-drop technology. Wizards are provided for all the devices most commonly
used with the PMCS DDE Server. Creating a custom interface is as easy as selecting
wizards for the devices installed in a facility and placing them on the screen.

Installation
To install the Interface Toolkit from the CD-ROM, refer to the instructions provided
in DEH-211, the PMCS Read This Book First . When install ing CI MPLICITY HMI
4.01, be sure to include the Advanced DDE Communications" option.
For PMCS View Nodes, be sure to install the appropriate PMCS software to support
CIMPLICITY wizard operation. A runtime view node installation provides files
needed to operate the wizards, th e wi z ard help fil es , and the Even tViewer and
Waveform client applications. Without these files, your screens will not function
corr ectly on the view node.
For WebView users, pl ease note th at the EventViewer and Waveform client
applications cannot be viewed, but all information displayed in the wizard is
available.
You can verify successful installation of the PMCS Wizards into CIMPLICITY HMI
by opening CimEdit, and clicking the Object Explorer button to display the symbols
library window. The PMCS Wizar ds should be li s ted in the dir ectory stru cture on the
left side of the Symbols window as shown below. If they are not, reinstall from the
PMCS CD-ROM. PMCS Advanced Wizar d s (device wizard s) are l ocat ed in the
PMCS Advanced Wizards directory; standard PMCS Wizards (such as Elevation and
Floor Plan wizards) are located in the PMCS Wizards directory.

Configuring a CIMPLICITY Project for PMCS
Using the wizards is straightforward. The procedure outlined in this section describes
how to place and configure a PMCS wizard in CIMPLICITY HMI. Later sections
describe using/testing a wizard and go further into describing each kind of wizard.
1. From CIMPLICITY HMI, create a new project by clicking the New Project
button or selecting File: New Project. The New Project window appears:
2. Enter the Project Name and select a directory wh ere the project s hould be st ored
(usually in the cimplicity\hmi\projects\ ). Under Options, select
PMCS Power Builder. Finally, click the Create button to write the project file to
disk and open the Project Properties window:

PMCS PowerBuilder - Configuring Advanced Wizards
PMCS Power Builder is a powerful tool to drastical reduce development time,
enabling you to quickly and easily add many devices to a new CIMPLICITY project.
Besides enhancing your productivity as a developer, PMCS Power Builder also
allows you to create more efficient applications which use fewer system resources
and enjoy greater performance. This is due to PMCS Power Builder's integration
with the PMCS Advanced Wizards. These wizards employ tech nology and
configuration techniques that take advantage of the power of CIMPLICITY HMI
version 4.01. The PMCS Advanced Wizards use a two-step configuration process
where the device dat a points are configur ed separatel y from the graphi cal portion of
the wizards. This section explains the procedures for configuring and using these
new wizards.
Beginning at the CIMPLICITY Workbench, double-click the PMCS Power Builder
option to begin adding devices to this project.
The PMCS Power Builder tool appear s:
The command buttons displayed in the PMCS Power Builder window are:

also a d d a devi ce by double clicking an y empty line in the device information s ection
of the PowerBuilder screen, or right clicking and selecting "Add" from the drop
down menu.
Modify Selected – use this button to change the Description, Resource, an d
application information for an existing (selected) device. You can also modify a
device’s configuration by double-clicking a listed device, or by right-clicking an
exist ing device and selecting "Modify Sel ect ed" from the drop down men u. Device
Name an d Devi ce Type cann ot be m od ified once a device is cr eated. If you need to
chang e the device na me or device type, you must del ete the sel ected device and add
a new one.
Delete Selected – use this button to completely remove the selected device and its
points from the project. You also delete a device by right clicking and selecting
"Delete S elected" from the drop d own menu.
Refresh – use this button to refresh the display of devices in the PowerBuilder
display. You can also refresh the display by right clicking anywhere within the
device i nformation area and s electing "Refresh" from the drop down menu.
Help – use this button to access PMCS Power Builder help information.
Select the Add Device button to begin adding device points to this project. The
Device Configuration dialog appears, prompting you to select a device type to add:
Select the device type to add, and the Device Configuration dialog dynamically
expands to display the device-specific configuration parameters. For example, while
most devices require only five parameters (Type, Name, Description, Resource, and
the Server's Application name), some more complex device types require additional
parameters, such as selecting which Tabs will appear on the Tabular wizard screen at
runtime.
Most PMCS Advanced Wizards share a similar configuration dialog, as shown in the
first example below. However, as mentioned above, some more complex device
types such as the Universal Relay, Multilin 369, and EPM 7700, require some
addit ional confi g uration in formation, and these examples are sh own s ep arately.

When you are done adding devices, you can generate the scr een s for all devices i n
one step by choosing th e Generate Scr eens but t on. Th e PMCS Power Buil der tool
creates one tabular screen per device type and one small faceplate per individual
device, following the many-to-one ar ch itectur e of the PMCS Advanced Wizards .
Note: While PMCS Power Buil der can gen erat e scr eens for m ost of the PMCS
Advan ced wi zards, th er e are some exceptions. Th e Annunciator Panel and the
EPM7700 screens are not automatically drawn by PMCS Power Builder, but instead
must be created manually after the points are created by PMCS Power Builder.
Follow the manual configuration instructions provided elsewhere in this guide to
configure the Annunciator Panel and EPM7700 points.
When Power Bu ilder ha s finished gen er ating scr eens for the configured d evi ces , click
the Done button to finish. PowerBuilder has automatically updated the project
configu ration and started the project for you. You can now browse the d evices,
poin ts, and screens created for you by PowerBui lder in th e Workbench. I f you don’t
see some i tems, hit the F5 key to refresh the Work bench displa y.
12 • Configuring and Using PMCS Wizards PMCS Interface Toolkit
For th e hi gh ly-flexibl e UR and 369 type devices, Pow er Build er creates a blank
"framework" wizard, with no pre-drawn tabs. In CimEdit the wizard will show no
tabs - the tabs will be dynamically redrawn based on the physical device being
accessed . For exam ple, if you use different models of th e Universal Rel ay in your
application, you might need to display a unique set of tabs for each type of relay.
With dynamic r e draw, you only need a single t abula r wizard in you r pr oje c t to show
any combination of tabs for any UR device. (The dynamic redraw feature can be
disa bl ed ; see Disabling Dynamic Redraw (369 and UR Tabular Wizards) for details.)
PMCS Interface Toolkit Configuring and Using PMCS Wizards • 13
Device Configuration -
Special Considerations for EPM 7700 only
The EPM 7700 Device Configuration dialog box contains two extra fields, which
must be completed during configuration. The Node Name field r equires that you
enter the name of the computer running the Communicati ons Server tha t con nects to
this particular device. Depending on the configuration of the EPM 7700 network,
this can be ei ther the Primary node comp uter, or a computer setu p a s a "Fu ll Station "
Secondary node. Refer to DEH-40035, the GE 7700 Gateway Users Guide, and
GEH-6514, PM CS Read This Book First, for m ore inf ormation on network
configuration. The Node Name field is required because the EPM 7700 does not use
the sam e DD E server as the rest of the standard PMC S devi ces , and the wi zard must
be directed to the location of the correct Communications Server for proper
configuration of DDE topic names.
Also, the Application Name field must be completed as ION_LINK rather than
GE32MODB or GE32ENET for the EPM 7700 device. The ION LINK program is
installed during initial PMCS setup if the EPM 7700 software option is selected.
When configuring Wizards on Secondary nodes, the Application Name field entry
does not fol low the PM C S wi zard convention of “\\Rem ot eC om p uter\I ON _ LI N K ” .
EPM 7700 Secondary nodes run a local copy of the ION LINK server, thus the
application name for EPM 7700 Large Faceplate wizards is always “ION_LINK”
whether the wizar d is install ed on the Primary node or a Secondary node. The Nod e
Name entry determines if the wizard is on a Secondary node.
The Gateway Name field must be completed with GE77GTWY, the application
name of the GE 7700 Gateway Server program. When configuring the EPM 7700
Tabular wizard on a Secondary node, the Gateway Name does follow the PMCS
wizard convention of “\\RemoteComputer\GE77GTWY” in the Gateway Name field,
where ‘ Rem oteComput er’ is the name of the PC wher e the GE 7700 Gateway
application is running – the Primary Node. The previous figure shows a Tabular Data
Dialog box as it would appear when configuring a Tabular Data wizard on a
Second ary node. The Node Name field contain s th e na me of the Primary Node
computer, the Application Name field is ION_LINK (as it is for ALL EPM 7700
wizards on ANY node) and the Gateway Name field points to the GE 7700 Gateway
Server running on the Primary Node PC.
Refer to DEH-40035 for information on the Communications Server and 7700
Gateway Server.
14 • Configuring and Using PMCS Wizards PMCS Interface Toolkit
Manually Configuring Wizards without using PMCS
Power Builder
This section explains the procedures for manually creating a device graphic wizard.
With on e ex cep tion (the EPM 7700 device type), the Advanced wi zards all share the
same configuration procedures.
NOTE: If you are configuring an EPM 7700 wizard, skip this section and go to
Manually Configuring the EPM 7700 on page 17, which details this wizard’s special
requirements.
To config u re the device g r aphics for a PMCS Advanced Wizard:
1. Open a new CimEdit screen.
2. Select a P MCS Advanced Wizard usin g th e O bject Explor er and drop it into the
ne w win dow.
3. Dropping a wizard in the CimEdit screen causes the Device Setup dialog box to
appear, as shown below.
4. Choose a default view for the wizard by selecting or deselecting the Tabular
View checkbox. If the Tabular View checkbox is s elected, the Tabular wi zard
will be displayed whenever this window is opened. If the Tabular View
checkbox is not selected, the Large Faceplate wizard is displayed by default.
5. To complete the Device N a me and Trend S cr een fields , click the ell ipsis butt on
to the right of each of these fields. This button displays a list of the devices
available in the project. (If no devices are available, stop and restart the project,
then continue; the devices should appear.) The Select Device dialog box is

Manually Configuring the EPM 7700 Wizard
The EPM 7700 device type is more complex than the other PMCS Advanced
Wizards, and its wizard reflects this. Dropping the EPM 7700 wizard into a project
creates eight separate screens, each linked to the others. Another unique property of
the EPM 7700 wizard is that the wizard itself is disposable. It is used only for the
initial configuration, and should be deleted after configuration is completed. The
eight s cr eens created by the wizar d ar e left for run- time use. The procedure for
configuring an EPM 7700 wizard is explained below.
Important: Follow the procedure to configure an EPM 7700 carefully - the wizard's
configuration should not be altered after it has been dropped. Changing the wizard
once it has been dropped requires you to delete the screens and re-create the wizard
with the desired prop erties.
1. Open a new CimEdit screen, using the Screens>New command.
Tip: If you plan to implement a Trend Window, create it before configuring the
EPM 7700 wizard, so that it will be available when you configure the device
graphics portion of the wizard.
2. Select a n EPM 7700 wizard using th e O bject Explorer an d dr op it into the new
window. You may see a warning message about not being able to undo this
action - disregard th is message .
3. Dropping a wizard in the CimEdit screen causes the Wizard Setup dialog box to
appear, as shown below. Note that there is no Tabular View checkbox; because
each of the Tabular s creens is cr eated independently of one another and the
Large Faceplate screen is also an independent screen, you are free to navigate to
any desired view. The notion of a default view does not apply to the EPM 7700
wizard.
4. To complete the Device N a me and Trend S cr een fields , click the ell ipsis butt on
to the right of each of these fields, which displays a list of the devices available
in the project. (If n o devices are availabl e, stop and restart the pr oject , then
continue; the devices should appear.) The Select Device dialog box is shown
below.
PMCS Interface Toolkit Configuring and Using PMCS Wizards • 17
5. Select t he appropriate EPM 770 0 devi ce from the list and cli ck OK.
6. Select a Trend Window using the trend window list available by clicking the
ellipsis to the right of the trend window text box.
7. When the wizard has completed its configuration, close the current window and
DO NOT save it – it is not a functional part of the wizard, and it cannot be used
to create graphics for additional devices. All of the functional wizard screens
were created and sa ved during the configuration process.
8. Stop an d r estart the project, th en hi t F 5 to r efresh the list of screens in the
project .
Repeat steps 1 – 8 to create additional EPM 7700 device screens as necessary for
your application.
Note: Refer to the Sample Application section when de s igning your project to
understand and take advantage of PMCS Advanced Wizard functions such as the
many-to-one relationships possible with Advanced Small Faceplate Wizards and
Large Faceplate/Tabular Wizards. The configuration techniques available may save
considerable development time and effort, especially with regard to the EPM 7700
device type.
The fig ure below shows the one of the eight Tabul ar screens r es u lting from the
correct configuration of the EPM 7700 wizard. You can verify that there are in fact
eight separate screens rather than multiple pages of a single screen by selecting
different tabs at the bottom of the tabular wizard. Observe the file name at the top of
the window - the file name will change to match the selected tab.

Sample Application
The scenario described in this section illustrates the integration and time-saving
benefi ts of the PMC S Advanced Wizards.
The Small Faceplate wizards are often used to create visually accurate
representations of physical equipment line-up. Each Small Faceplate has a one-to-
one relationship with not only the physical device, but also the Large
Faceplate/Tabular wizard for that device. Clicking the Small Faceplate wizard for a
particular device opens a unique Large Faceplate/Tabular wizard associated with the
same physical device. We'll call this a one-to-one relationship of Small Faceplate to
Large Faceplate/Tabular.
PMCS Adva nced Wizard s may be used in th e standard, one-to-one m an ner.
However, they also support many-to-one configuration. In this scenario, several
Small Faceplate wizards of the same device type may all refer to a single Large
Faceplate/Tabular wizard. When the user clicks a particular Small Faceplate wizard,
the unique device identity information associated with that wizard is passed to the
Large Faceplate/Tabular wizard, which displays the data for the requested device.
Thus, with a single Large Faceplate/Tabular wizard, all the devices of a given type
may be viewed. The user navigates from the overview to the elevation view, then
selects a small faceplate wizard to open the tabular screen. However, instead of
configuring many separate tabular screens, only one is required. Obviously, this
saves considerable configuration time, as well as saving substantial system memory
during runtime. The one drawback of the many-to-one configuration is that since the
Small Faceplates all share access to the same Large Faceplate/Tabular wizard, only
one device's data may be displayed at a time. To display a Large Faceplate/Tabular
screen for multi ple PMCS Advanced Wizar d s at on ce, they must be configur ed in the
one-to-one manner, sacrificing the configuration time and system memory savings.
In the following example, the application has an Intro screen, from which the user
can access either of two panel boards of equipment. Panel Board #1 is equipped with
three EPM 7300 devices, while Panel Board #2 is equipped with two EPM 7700
devices and a single EPM 7300 device. Each device has an individual Small
Faceplate Wizard, which provides access to the Large Faceplate/Tabular wizard.
With th is architecture, only one Large Fa cep late/Tabu lar wizar d mu st be configured
for ea ch d evi ce type. Each of the Small Fa cep late wizards has access t o the
appropriate Large Faceplate/Tabular wizard, and when a Small Faceplate wizard is
invoked, it passes its identity information to the Large Faceplate/Tabular wizard,
which displays the data corresponding to the device associated with the invoked
Small Faceplate wizard.

Small Faceplate Wizards
Usage
The Small Faceplate wizards are icon-sized graphics typically used to create accurate
elevation views and one-line diagrams. These wizards are provided with logic to
open another window, typically either a Large Faceplate/Tabular Data Screen
wizard. There are several directories of Small Faceplate wizards to choose from.
PMCS Interface Toolkit Configuring and Using PMCS Wizards • 23
Small Faceplate Config uratio n
The Small Faceplate wizard for the PMCS Advanced Wizards offers additional
fun c tions beyond sim ply opening a designated wind ow. If you so c hoose , you may
configure a single Large Faceplate/Tabular wizard for each device type, regardless of
how many actual devices of that type are installed, and use multiple Small Faceplate
wizards to access data on each device. This feature operates by assigning an identity
to each Small Faceplate wizard, and passing this identity information to the Large
Faceplate/Tabular wizard when the Small Faceplate wizard is selected. The single
Large Faceplate/Tabular wizard opens, displaying the data for the selected device.
The many-to-one wizard configuration offers substantial configuration time savings
and mem ory saving s, esp ecially for the EPM 7700, where each Large
Faceplate/Tabular wizard actually consists of eight separate screens. A minor
drawback to this approach is that you may only display the Large Faceplate/Tabular
wizard for a single device at a time. To view data on a different Advanced Wizard
sharing this Larg e F aceplate/ Tabular screen, you must close th e Large
Faceplate/Tabular wizard and open it again through the desired device's Small
Faceplate wizard.
If you ch oos e to use this man y-t o-one technique, select the Advanced check box i n
the Wizard Configuration dialog, as shown in the following figure. If the Advanced
checkbox is not selected, the Small Faceplate wizard functions like any other Small
Faceplate wizard, simply opening the selected screen.
Selecting the OK button in the Screen To Open dialog box, with a device screen
selected and the Adva nced checkb ox s elected, d isplays th e Wizard Setu p dialog box
(shown below), prompting you to choose the identity of the device you wish to
associate with this Small Faceplate Wizard.

Large Faceplate/Tabular Wizards
Usage
Large Faceplate/Tabular Data Screen wizards are three-dimensional representations
of device faceplates that can be used to display data from the device. These three-
dimensional wizards include extensive logic that provides an accurate reproduction
of the actual display and keys of the device. Large Faceplate wizards are typically
placed in overlay windows.
By clicking on the display of a Large Faceplate wizard, you can display a tabular
data s cr een portion of the wizard . Tabular Dat a Screen wizar ds contain or g an ized,
comprehensive, tabular layouts of device parameters including additional
configuration and remote control features. To make the Tabular Data Screen portion
of the wizard display by default, select the Tabular Datasheet checkbox in the
configuration window.
You can move and resize Tabular Data Screen wizards as desired.
Special Considerati o ns
The button controls on the 3-D representation emulate the controls of the actual
device. This may be useful for reducing software training time for personnel already
familiar with device operation.
Each Tabular Data Screen wizard contains buttons for activating the help file, trend
window, setup window (if applicable) Event Logger, Waveform Capture, and for
closing the window .
Depending on the device, there may be multiple file-tabs beneath the tabular data
section. These switch among various pages relating to data and setpoints.
The detailed features of each of the Tabular Data Screen wizards are described in the
section titled Features of Tabular Data Screen Wizards. The detailed features of
26 • Configuring and Using PMCS Wizards PMCS Interface Toolkit

Configuration
The PMC S A d vanced Wizard device types require s p ecial config uration for their
Large Faceplate/Tabular wizards. See the instructions provided in Configuring
PMCS Advanceds Wizards, earlier in this chapt er , and refer also to the Sample
Applica tion section, which provi d es an ex ample of Advanced Wizards in use.
A summary of the Large Faceplate/Tabular wizard configuration procedure is:
1. Config ure the Device P oi nts.
2. Stop an d r estart the project.
3. Config ure the Device G r aphics.
369 Motor Management Relay
The 369 wizard's Device Configuration dialog allows you to customize the
appearance of the wizard by selecting only those tabs that display data of interest to
you. For ex ample, if you a re not usin g optional Remot e RTD accessory units with
your 369 you can leave the RRTD tab de-selected. This results in fewer points in the
CIMPLICITY database, yielding better performance.
PMCS Interface Toolkit Configuring and Using PMCS Wizards • 27
EPM 7700
The EPM 7700 Device Configuration dialog box is slightly different from the other
PMCS device types, containing two extra fi elds and req uiring min or di ff erences in
configuration. The Device Configuration dialog for the EPM 7700 is shown below,
followed by the special configuration requirements.
The Node Name field requires that you enter the name of the computer running the
Communications Server that connects to this particular device. Depending on the
configuration of the EPM 7700 network, this can be either the Primary node
comput er, or a comput er setup as a “Full Station ” S econdary node. Refer t o DE H-
40035, the GE 7700 Gateway Users Guide, and GEH -6514, PMCS Read This Book
First, for more information on network configuration. The Node Name fiel d is
requ ired because the EPM 7700 does not use th e same D DE s erver as the r es t of the
standard PMCS devices, and the wizard must be directed to the location of the
correct Communications Server for proper configuration of DDE topic names.
Also, the Application Name field must be completed as ION_LINK rather than
GE32MODB or GE32ENET for the EPM 7700 device. The ION LINK program is
installed during initial PMCS setup if the EPM 7700 software option is selected.
When configuring Wizards on Secondary nodes, the Application Name field entry
does not fol low the PM C S wi zard convention of “\\Rem ot eC om p uter\I ON _ LI N K ” .
EPM 7700 Secondary nodes run a local copy of the ION LINK server, thus the
application name for EPM 7700 Tabular Data Wizards is always “ION_LINK”
whether the wizar d is install ed on the Primary node or a Secondary node. The Nod e
Name entry determines if the wizard is on a Secondary node.
The Gateway Name field must be completed with GE77GTWY, the application
name of the GE 7700 Gateway Server program. When configuring the EPM 7700
Tabular wizard on a Secondary node, the Gateway Name does follow the PMCS
wizard convention of “\\RemoteComputer\GE77GTWY” in the Gateway Name field,
where ‘ Rem oteComput er’ is the name of the PC wher e the GE 7700 Gateway
application is running – the Primary Node. The following example shows a Device
Configuration Dialog box as it would appear when configuring a Tabular Data
wizard on a Secondary node. The Node Name field contains the name of the Primary
Node computer, the Application Name field is ION_LINK (as it is for ALL EPM
7700 wizards on ANY node) and the Gateway Name field points to the GE 7700
Gateway Server running on the Primary Node PC.

Disabling Dynamic Redraw (369 and UR Tabular Wizards)
As described earlier, UR and 369 type devices are highly flexible, and are typically
redrawn on-the-fly by CIMPLICITY, rather than having a static set of tabs. For these
devices, Power Builder creates a blank "framework" wizard, with no pre-drawn tabs.
In CimEdit the wizard will show no tabs - the tabs will be dynamically redrawn
based on the physical device being accessed. For exam pl e, if you use different
models of the Universal Relay in your application, you might need to display a
unique set of tabs for each type of relay. Dynamic redraw permits you to use a single
tabular wizard to show any combination of tabs for any UR device.
If for some reason you do not want to have the screen redraw itself, simply
recon fi g ure the blan k fr amework wizard. In CimEd it, open the fr amework wiz ar d
screen for the UR or 36 9 devi ce. Righ t- click on the wizard grap h ic, and from the
contex tual menu di splayed, choose "Trig g er Smart Object," as shown in th e

Select a device from the displayed list an d cl ick OK, then cli ck O K a ga in to accept
the devi ce you've selected. Th e fol l owing message appears:
Choosing NO will ca u s e th e wi z ard to be redrawn once with the tabs specifi ed f or
the selected device. The wizard’s configuration is then fixed – it will function like a
conventional wizard, disp laying the configured tabs as soon as th e wi n d ow op ens,
without redrawing them. This way you can place one framework wizard into your
project for each distinct flavor of 369 or UR device type you intend to use. For
example, if you have two F60 UR devices, and a C30 UR device you could create
two different UR framework wizards. The two F60 UR's can share a wizard since
they display identical information. The C30 requires its own tabular wizard since its
tab panel displays will not match the F60s. Once the various unique tabular wizards
are created, modify the small faceplates created by Power Builder so that the small
faceplates point to the correct tabular wizard screen.
After generating the screens and updating the configuration, small faceplates can
then be t aken from the MainMenu. cim file and placed in other s creens such as
switchgear elevations. These Small Faceplates act as device-specific front ends or
links into the appropriate Tabular wizard screen. Each device you added with PMCS
Power Builder is represented by its own Small Faceplate, but each class of device
share a single Tabular wizard. In the sample application described earlier, five MVT
small faceplates are generated, but only a single MVT Tabular Wizard. When a
PMCS Interface Toolkit Configuring and Using PMCS Wizards • 31
specific MVT small faceplate is selected at runtime, its identity information is passed
to the sh ared Tabular wizard, whi ch recognizes which device is bei ng selected and
displays the data for that individual device. This many-to-one sharing of Tabular
wizards provid e s a tremendous savi ngs of system resou rces and dra mati c a lly
increases perform ance. However, as has been discussed, the Universa l Relay an d 369
devices are highly flexible and may represent different models of physical devices,
so the Tabular Wizard must be dynamically redrawn based on the nature of the
selected device. This may result in momentary delays in the display of data as the
dy namic redra w oc curs.
You can still create individual device wizards independent of the many-to-one
archi tecture. Creating individual devi ce wizard s by dr opping a single wizard into a
project without the use of PMCS Power Builder allows you to avoid the dynamic
redraw case for UR and 369 device types, but requires additional system resources.
This tradeoff must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis depending on the nature of
the project being developed.

Annunciator Panel Wizard
Usage
The Annunciator Panel wizard provides an industrial-style annunciator display panel,
consisting of a bank of 48 indicator lights which change colors and blink to indicate
various device conditions. For instance, a circuit breaker could be associated with an
annunciator pan el wizard to display grey wh en closed and change to red if it trips.
This wizard requires the PMCS Event Logger software to be installed and properly
configu red before it can be used, beca u s e i t operat es b y monitoring special DD E tags
which ch ange state ba sed on alarms or events recorded by th e Event Logger.
The panel consists of an array of 48 buttons (six columns by eight rows), each of
which may be labeled with up to three lines of text, and each of which is associated
with a particular device (topic) at the PMCS DDE Server.
The annunciator panel wizard provides buttons for acknowledging alarms, resetting
acknowledged alarms, and for viewing an alarm summary via the PMCS Event
Logger.
Annunciator Panel Theory of Operation
The Annunciator Panel wizard provides a screen full of indicator tiles, each relating
to a particular device, event, or group of events. These tiles are displayed in different
colors to indicate different alarm conditions. The Annunciator Panel wizard monitors
selected DDE items in the Event Logger and responds to changes of state in these
items by changing the colors of individual indicator tiles. For example, you might
configu re a relay trip event to have a tile in the Annunciator Panel wizard. The
wizard monitors a DDE tag at the Event Logger corresponding to the trip status of
the rel ay and displays a grey indicator if th e relay is operating proper ly, and a red
indicator if the relay has tripped.
42 • Configuring and Using PMCS Wizards PMCS Interface Toolkit
From the Event Logger’s perspective, there are two parts to configuring the
Annunciator Panel. First, each DDE Item that will be displayed on the Annunciator
Panel wizard must be added (using the Add Items dialog). For the example we’re
discussing, we’ll assume you’ve created a DDE Item named Trip1. Each DDE item
will connect to an individual tile in the Annunciator Panel wizard.
The second part consists of defining events which will turn individual DDE items
ON or OFF. Each DDE item (or Annunciator Panel tile) can be turned on or off by
any number of device events you define. Th e events are logi cally ORed toget her to
determine ON or OFF condi tions; i.e., if any of the events occurs, the DDE item is
ON; if none of the events have occurred, the DDE item remains OFF.
We’ll continue the relay exam p le we began above. For example, you might
configu re the Trip1 DDE Item to be ON i f any of the followi ng event s occurs: th e
relay is tripped, or the relay reports an error condition, or the relay senses an
overvoltage condition. The Annunciator Panel wizard displays a grey indicator tile
for the relay for as long as the DDE item remains in the OFF condition. If the
Annunciator Panel wizard sees the DDE Item change from OFF to ON, it reacts by
changing the indicator tile from grey to red. The Event Logger Annunciator Panel
logic will also change the state of a DDE Item in response to actions performed at
the Annunciator Panel Wizard. The user can both acknowledge and reset individual
Annunciator DDE Items. The following diagram shows the relationship of the
Annunciator Panel wizard, the Event Logger, and the PMCS DDE Server.

In the upper illustration, the Event Logger watches for any of the three events
configured to cause a change of state to the Trip 1 DDE Item. None of these three
events have occurr ed , so the sta t u s of the Tri p 1 DDE Item is at OFF. The
Annunciator Panel wizard is monitoring the configured DDE Items at the Event
Logger, but all DDE Items are “OFF” so the Annunci ator Pa n el displays green
indicator tiles.
In the lower illustration, the Event Logger has recorded a “Trip” event for the unit in
question, and changed the state of the Trip 1 DDE Item to “ON”. The Annunciator
Panel wizard sees this change, and responds b y ch anging the color of the ann unciator
panel tile for Relay 1 to red.
Each "Alarm indicator" as defined by the Event Logger will appear to CIMPLICITY
as a DDE Integer item which can have the following values/states:
State Tag

Each panel button displays one of five different colors, based on the states defined
above. A fill color animation link controlled by an indirect integer tag is used to
change colors. The fill color link is set as follows:
<= 9: Dark Grey
10 -> 19: Grey
20-> 29: Grey (will also have a flashing Red animation link)
30 -> 39: Red
>= 40: Yellow

Confi guration
Note: Prior to configuring an Annunciator Panel Wizard, you should have completed
configuration of the Annunciator Panel Items at the PMCS Event Logger. Refer to
GEH-6512, PMCS Event Logger Users Guide, for details.
Using PMCS Power Builder, add an Annunciator Panel device to your CIMPLICITY
project by selecting Annunciator Panel in the Device Configuration dialog. The
Device Configuration dialog box expands to display additional options specific to the
Annunciator Panel:
Complete the Device Name, Description, and Application Name fields as desired,
then configure the indicators of the Annuciator Panel with the desired text display.
Clicking on any of the 48 indicators at the bottom of the Device Configuration dialog
displays the Annunciator Panel Configuration dialog box:
46 • Configuring and Using PMCS Wizards PMCS Interface Toolkit
Enter up to three lines of text that you wish to display on the selected Annunciator
Panel indicator. Complete the Event Item field with the DDE Event code that
triggers this indicator. Finally, select Done to close this dialog box.
As each annunciator panel button is labeled, the Annunciator Panel Dialog reflects
these cha nges by showing th e Row/Colu mn coordinates of th e labeled buttons. F or
example, R1C1 indicates that the indicator button in Row 1, Column 1 has been
configured.
After con figur i ng each of the i ndicator panes, c hoose OK i n th e De vice
Configuration dialog box. When you close this dialog box, CIMPLICITY
automatically creates virtual points for each panel button. These tags are named
xxx_R1C1 through xxx_R8C6, where xxx is the name assigned to the wizard (for
example, Panel1), and R1C1 indicates the row and column position on the
annunciator panel.
You may now drop the Annunciator Panel wizard itself into a new screen in your
project. Dropping the Annunciator Panel wizard displays the following configuration
dialog box:
In th e Ann unciator Panel Name fiel d, select the device name you enter ed in the
Device Configuration window.
In the Individual Cell Color Values panel, assign colors to each of the annunciator
indicator conditions by clicking in each radio button (Disabled, Alarm Off, Alarm
On, et c) an d ch oosi ng the desired color for each from the color pull d own menu.
Selecting the Alarm On radio button enables the Flashing checkbox. You may select
this checkbox to make the indicator flash during an Alarm On condition.
When you have configured the Col ors for the sel ected Annunciator Panel, choose
OK to final ize th e W izard be ing droppe d into your project.
At run-time, CIMPLICITY will receive DD E data fr om the Event Logger which will
control the color s of all indicat ors that have be en configured proper ly.

Creating Floor Plans, Elevation Views, and One-Line Diagrams
Introduction
This section illustrates how to use the GE wizards described earlier to create
animated displays of the facility floor plan, switchgear elevations, and system oneline diagrams. These examples are typical, but are not intended to display the limits
of creative system design.
Elevation Views
Elevation views of switchgear and switchboards are typically created first, because
miniature bitmaps of the elevations can be conveniently placed in floor plans as
navigation items.
To build an elevation view, place GE Elevation and Small Faceplate wizards into the
window, as follows:
1. Place the appropriate cabinet.
2. Place panels onto the cabinet.
3. Add namep lates, lo u vers, handles, and fas tene rs to create the desired le vel of
detail.
4. Place GE Small Facep late wizards representing the com p onents in stalled in the
equipment on top of the elevation wizards, as shown in the figure on the
following page.
5. Config ure each of the Small Facep late wizard s to open a window con taining an
appropriate Large Faceplate or Tabular Data Screen for the device.
PMCS Interface Toolkit Creating Floor Plans, Elevation Views, and One-Line Diagrams • 49
6. You can add additional navigation buttons (using standard CIMPLICITY
controls) to open windows containing one-line views or other information.
7. If the switchgear shown in the elevation view is fed from or feeds another
lineup, you can add buttons to navigate to elevation views representing those
lineups.
50 • Creating Floor Plans, Elevation Views, and One-Line Diagrams PMCS Interface Toolkit
Floor Plans
A floor plan should be a recognizable overhead representation of a facility. These
windows are built using the GE Floor Plan wizards. They can be made as detailed or
as simple as desired. The example below shows an overview of a facility, showing
all of the areas cont aining equi p ment.
You can link each of these areas in the main window to a more detailed window by
adding a labele d navigation button (using standard CIMPLICITY controls ) that is
configured to show that window. In this way, you can provide paths to move up and
down through a complete floor plan hierarchy.
Floor plans may be as detailed as you desire and may include miniature bitmaps of
equipment elevations. The procedure for creating a miniature bitmap in a floor plan
view is as follows:
1. In the floor plan window, use the toolbox to create a bitmap object with the
desired size of the miniature switchgear.
2. Switch to the desired elevation window, and select and copy the elevation view.
3. Swit c h back to the floor plan window.
4. In the floor plan window, use the Paste Bitmap command to insert the elevation
view into the bitmap object.
5. Double-click on the miniature elevation bitmap to configure a link to the full-
sized elevation view window.
6. You can add additional buttons, using standard CIMPLICITY controls, to
navigate to windows containing one-line views of the switchgear or other
information.
PMCS Interface Toolkit Creating Floor Plans, Elevation Views, and One-Line Diagrams • 51
Electrical One-Line Diagrams
One-line diagra ms are built by pl acing and linking circu it elements using th e On eLine wizards, then creating scripts to provide animation for those wizards whose
status can be determined or controlled, such as breakers and switches.
A one-line diagram is drawn by placing GE One-Line wizards into a window. All
animated One-Line wizards ha ve at least on e di s crete tag t o i n di cate the status of the
bus feed to the device, while oth ers may have tag s for in and out conn ections an d for
device status. If you do not require animation, link the wizard’s discrete tags to a
constant tag with a value of tr u e.
After configuring Horizontal or Vertical Bus wizards, several objects can be selected
and grouped together.
When a one-line diagram is too large to comfortably fit into a single window, place
navig a tion buttons with links to other wind ows near each bu s line that continues t o
another screen. This allows intuitive navigation up and down a distribution system
hierarchy.
To accurately animate your one-line diagram once all the graphics are in place,
condition scripts must be written with the logic for the distribution system. See the
CIMPLICITY documentation for details of the scripting language. The following
example shows a simple double-ended substation with a tie breaker and the scripting
that animates it.
An example of the scripting for th is one-line diagram is shown in the following

Creating a basic interface
We’ve lea rned about the various p arts and pieces of the Int er face Toolkit; now let’s
put it to work.
Suppose we have a very basic power management system installed at our corporate
home office. The system consists of four trip units and a PQM (Power Quality
Meter). We’d like to set up a computer in the front office to provide a front end to
this system, allowing us to monitor all these devices at one station without having to
walk back to the indivi dual devices on th e plant fl oor.
We plan the application on paper first so that we know how many screens to create
and what each screen will look like. This will help us save time when in
development by pr ovid ing a star ting point and a map of what we’re trying to create.
This ‘storyboard’ for our applic ation looks something like th is:
As shown above, for this basic application, we’ll need four screens — an
introdu c tion s c reen, a shot of the panelboard showin g all fi ve of our power
management devices, and then a large faceplate/tabular screen for each type of
device, one for the PQM, and another for the trip units. We’ll link the Large
Faceplate/Tabular screen for each unit to the Small Faceplate wizard shown on the
Panel board screen, and, from the Large Facep late, we can click on the d evi ce’ s
display to jump to the Tabular data screen for that device. To make it easier to
PMCS Interface Toolkit Sample Application • 59
navigate the screens, we’ll create extra buttons on the bottom of the Faceplate and
Tabular screens that will jump back to the Panelboard screen.
With our plan in hand, and after completing the installation procedures described in
Chapter 1, we’re ready to begin development.
Launch CIMPLICITY and create a new project file as described in Chapter 2. Use
the PMC S P ower Builder to create 5 new devi ces in your project:
PQM Device type = MLPQM
Trip1 Device type = EMVTC
Trip2 Device type = EMVTC
Trip3 Device type = EMVTC
Trip4 Device type = EMVTC
Click the “Generat e S creens” button and let PowerBuild er create the device screen s .
When Power Bu ilder is finished your project con tains thr ee windows:
MainMenu.cim – contains all the small faceplates for the project
wzEMVTC-D.cim – Trip Unit Faceplate/Tabular wizard
wzMLPQM.cim – PQM Faceplate/Tabular wizard
Rename the "MainMenu.cim" screen "Panelboard". Add a new window called "Main
Screen", and use the CIMPLICITY tools to sketch a floorplan of the facility, as
shown below:
In th e Manufacturing Floor area, create a button labeled " C lick here to begin…," and
give it an animation link to the screen named Panelboard.
Open the Panelboard screen. Use the PMCS Elevation wizards to add a mock-up of
the panelboard, then move the existing Small Faceplate wizards to populate the
panelboard with our PQM meter and th e four trip uni t s. The Pan elboard screen
should look like t his:
60 • Sample Application PM CS Interface Toolkit
We’ll include a note about the panelboard’s location, describing where to find the
real panel, and also a note of instruction: "Click a device to see the large faceplate
screen."
Now we’ll configure some navigation buttons to enable the user to return to the
previous window. Select the "wzMLPQM.cim" window, then use CIMPLICITY’s
tools to create two new buttons, "HOME" and "Go back to Panel." Modify the button
properties to tie these buttons to the Main Screen and Panelboard windows,
respectively. The screen should look similar to the following:
Add simil a r navigation buttons t o the "wz EMVTC -D.cim " window, and you’r e
done. We’ve just developed a PMCS application using the GE CIMPLICITY HMI
PowerBuilder and Wizards.
Note: If the you prefer to use screen names other than the default provided by PMCS
PowerBuilder, simply open the screen in CimEdit and save it under a different name.
PMCS Interface Toolkit Sample Application • 61
For our sample project, you could save the default "wzMLPQM.cim" screen as
"PQM". Then open the Panelboard screen and reconfigure the PQM small faceplate
to open the new "PQM" screen instead of the "wzMLPQM" screen. Finally, delete
the "wzMLPQM" screen from the project. You can modify any of the PMCS
PowerBuilder generated screens as your application requires.

About the Large Faceplate Wizards
This chapter contains descriptions of the functions available with each of the GE
Large Faceplate wizards. While a majority of the most popular data available at each
device have been made available in the Wizards, some functions available with the
actual devices are not provided in the Large Faceplate representations, such as the
following:
• Test Mode or Simulation Mode on some devices is not fully supported
• Details on status/alarm/trips other than the information displayed by the
front LEDs and a brief text message (see Tabular Data Screens for
detailed status/alarm/trip information)
• Any flashing status messages which may be produced by a device
• Some actual values are not displayed on the Large Faceplate Wizard,
but ca n be found on T abular Data Scree n Wizards
Users should be aware that not all values displayed by the GE Large Faceplate
Wizards are automatically updated. Also, some rapidly changing values, especially
those requiring calculation, cannot be displayed as rapidly on the wizard as on the
actual device’s screen.
For a more detailed description of the functions of a device, see the user’s guide for
that d evice.
