CIMPLICITY software is scalable from a Human Machine Interface to a fully networked Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The networking capabilities inherent at all levels within the product line let you achieve levels of integration that virtually eliminate redundant configuration within a network.

CIMPLICITY is based on a client–server architecture consisting of Servers and Viewers. Servers are responsible for the collection and distribution of data. Viewers connect into Servers and have full access to the collected data for viewing and control actions.
Servers and Viewers can be easily networked together to seamlessly share data without the need to replicate your point database from node to node. For example, points are configured once and only once on a server. Screens can be developed and stored in a single location on the network and accessed by any other CIMPLICITY display on the network.
Servers can be licensed to collect data from, for
example, 75, 150, 300, 700, 1500 or an unlimited number of device
points. Exempted from the point count are virtual points, which
reside only in the computer and points collected by another server.
This I/O count architecture satisfies customers with small single
node systems, and leverages CIMPLICITY's strong
client-server architecture for multi-node systems. CIMPLICITY
provides the flexibility to build a larger system through multiple
smaller nodes without forcing you to purchase large and expensive
server hardware to service multiple users.
