Proficy* Machine Edition
GE Intelligent Platforms’ Proficy Machine
Edition enables users to connect and
collaborate. This automation software
deploys HMI, motion, and multi-target
control and provides a common user
interface, drag-and-drop editing, and
a rich set of development tools. Proficy
Machine Edition increases productivity and
performance, and reduces programming,
configuration, commissioning, monitoring,
and maintenance costs.
Proficy Machine Edition supports
Ethernet connectivity to assets globally.
The user can view, troubleshoot, modify
and validate applications regardless
of location.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Boost Performance Quickly and Easily.
Combining the best of traditional
programming and graphics applications
with such powerful open industry-standard
technologies as COM/DCOM, ActiveX, OPC,
and XML, Proficy Machine Edition provides
a smooth migration to the latest
development tools.
Improve Efficiency through
Tight Integration.
In addition to sharing common development
tools, all Proficy Machine Edition
components — View, Logic Developer,
and Motion Developer — share a common
database and common objects across
applications, including logic, scripts, and
animation. Once a variable is created, it
can easily be used in all other components
of the project.
Proficy Machine Edition allows the user
to open multiple Proficy Machine Edition
sessions on one PC and then connect
each session to a controller simultaneously.
This allows the user to view multiple,
operating application programs at the
same time, from a single PC.

Connect and Control with MachineLevel Graphics.
Proficy Machine Edition includes an intuitive,
machine-level HMI for shop-floor devices,
including PLCs, CNCs, motion controllers,
and other machine-level components.
An all-inclusive graphics tool allows you to
place objects within the common object
repository, or “Toolchest.” Applications
can be developed for QuickPanel*, and
QuickPanel View. View supports
communication protocols for all major
PLCs and includes OPC client and server
drivers and lets you publish your data and
graphical panels over the Web to a standard
web browser.
Add Flexibility and Scalability in PLC and PC
Control Environments.
Whether you work in a PLC or PC-based
control environment, or both, Logic
Developer provides all the tools you need
to develop, monitor, and troubleshoot your
applications. In addition, Logic Developer
provides full scalability from Quick Panel
Control units to embedded controls as well
as across the full spectrum of GE PLC and
PACSystems* controllers.
