^Summary

^{GE Fanuc is pleased to announce the release of CIMPLICITY OpenProcess 7.0. This release of OpenProcess includes many new features, including the provision of support for new hardware modules.}

 

^{New Features}

 

^{New Strategy builder this new editor makes developing your control strategies more efficient.  The new drag and drop interface with auto line connects makes it easier to create the SAMA style control schematics.  Other new features for the builder include:} 

^{Function blocks are divided into functional catalogs making them easier to find and use.}

^{Automatic pan and zooming is now available.}

^{Line connects now move with function blocks.}

^{Pre-compilation of drawings is performed as function blocks are added, deleted, or edited.}

^{The speed of drawing compilation has been increased to let you get your work done faster.}

^{Support for template drawings allows you to re-use existing work.}

^{Drawings can now be any size.}

^{New look and feel for Workbench provides a familiar environment for most users since the Designer Workbench has a familiar Explorer-type view.  The new workbench provides:} 

^{Client/server support allows multiple users.}

^{Ability to organize data into single or multiple projects consistent with implementation of your system.}

^{Color coded status indicators for project drawings allow for quick verification of items yet to be completed.}

^{Robust error checking and reporting catches errors as they occur and before they propagate throughout the system.}

^{Faster I/O compilation to implement system changes more quickly.}

^{New interface for configuration of I/O modules uses drag and drop interface to make it easier and faster.}

^{Now uses MSDE as the underlying database allowing for larger projects and custom fields}

^{Full on-line help provides how to examples for the most frequently asked questions.}

^{New function blocks OpenProcess now includes the following additional function blocks:} 

^FAULT

^IMCB

^MCB

^SEQUSUB

^SSB

^THRESHOLD
