Appendix 3: CIM Display Panel Operation
CIM Display Panel Operation
Overview
This appendix is adapted from the Maxum Maintenance Manual section
describing the use of the CIM Display. This chapter is intended for
operating and maintenance personnel.
All of the Maxum II’s operational and daily routine maintenance tasks can
be performed from the CIM color touch screen display. The CIM Display
is the physical hardware that is installed in the door of the Maxum II. It is
controlled by a processor board called the CIM Board. The combination
of board and display is referred to as the CIM (Control Interface Module).
The CIM runs an enhanced version of the HMI software that is used to
control the Maintenance Panel originally equipped in the Maxum.
Because this chapter deals primarily with the operation of the software,
the term HMI may be used at times to refer to the software even though
the hardware is the CIM or CIM Display. In addition, the display emulator
in the workstation software is referred to as the HMI emulator.
The HMI software on the CIM utilizes interactive display screens, menus,
and icons for common functions. In addition, the software is equipped
with context sensitive help for most functions. This makes the device
intuitive and simple to use once the user is familiar with the basic
operation.
A PC-based graphical simulation of the physical CIM Display, known as
the HMI emulator, is available using the PC based workstation software.
This emulator is capable of performing all of the functions that are
available with the physical unit. The emulator is a graphical
representation of the physical display. Because of this, some aspects of
the emulator appear slightly different than they appear on the physical
unit.
Older versions of the HMI emulator were designed to function like the
original Maintenance Panel. When the newest versions of the System
Manager and Gas Chromatograph Portal software are installed to
support the CIM Display, the emulator software will also be updated to
function in a similar manner to the CIM Display.
