A runtime user can view Machine Edition variable values directly from the Machine Edition project.

However, you can also set up the CIMPLICITY project and configure CIMPLICITY points to access Machine Edition variables. During runtime, the CIMPLICITY points will display the Machine Edition variable data.

Important: The following steps are very straightforward. However, they include several details that are required for successful communication.

Steps to configure the CIMPLICITY project and points are as follows.

Step 2.1	Add a remote project to the CIMPLICITY project.
Step 2.2	Add a Machine Edition user to the CIMPLICITY project.
Step 2.3	Create a resource for the Machine Edition project.
Step 2.4	Enable the Machine Edition resource for the Machine Edition user.
Step 2.5	Create a port to communicate with the Machine Edition project.
Step 2.6	Create a device to communicate with the Machine Edition project.
Step 2.7	Create CIMPLICITY device points to access Machine Edition variables.
