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 screens created by the wizard are 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 properties.
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 an EPM 7700 wizard using the Object Explorer and drop it into the new
window. You may see a warning message about not being able to undo this
action - disregard this 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 screens is created 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 Name and Trend Screen fields, click the ellipsis button
to the right of each of these fields, which 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 shown
below.
