CitectSCADA Time Scheduler An integrated tool which automatically controls equipment based on calendar events. CitectSCADA Pocket Provides an operator interface for the remote monitoring and control of your plant anytime, anywhere. Tightly integrated with CitectSCADA, this easy-to- use offering enables operators to change set-points and outputs as well as acknowledging alarms. CitectSCADA Batch Delivers a highly flexible, scalable, S88 based batch management solution to increase productivity and achieve consistent high quality. Providing unrivalled reliability, this easy-to-use offering integrates tightly with existing systems and facilitates compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11.

Reliable, Flexible, Performance

OPTIONSCitectSCADA Reports during project configuration, or dynamically at runtime. This enables plant operations to become more responsive to the different manning requirements. Global view clustering would be used, for example, at a large plant with a number of remote sites and a single, central control room. During day-time operations, the remote sites can be manned using local operator interfaces. After hours, the entire system can be monitored and controlled from the central location, thereby maximizing operational efficiencies. CLIENT-SIDE ONLINE CHANGES Client-side online changes ensure that operators can continue monitoring the plant whilst changes to the system are being deployed. V7.0’s new online changes have been designed to minimize interruption whilst maintaining reliability and decreasing risk. Graphics, tags, alarms, trends and reports now update automatically when changes are made without the need for clients to be restarted. Changes can be made to any of the clustered servers. Once the server process(es) required by the change is restarted, the changes are instantaneously available to all clients across the network. A powerful, plant-wide reporting tool that collects, historizes and delivers reporting data from multiple, disparate systems. Unlike other historians, it utilizes 100% Microsoft SQL Server 2005 as its embedded historical data store, bridging the gap between plant and business systems and providing IT and System Engineers with secure, familiar, easy-to-use and easy-to-access reporting technology. SPLIT SYSTEM CLUSTERING Clustering can also be used to split a system to create reliable sub-clusters, maintained through a centralized set of servers. This approach is useful when you need to expand your site, increase overall system capacity, or when you want to have reliable, localized control for specific sites.Where CitectSCADA v7.0 excels is in providing the ability to pair ‘1 to n’ number of clustered servers with one central server. By positioning servers close to the process (distributed), and pairing them with the central server, not only do you have increased reliability, but you can dramatically reduce hardware costs. Split system clustering also enables you to manage load share. For example, you can add an additional sub-cluster to your alarming system to take advantage of remaining process capacity when your current limits (64,000) have been reached. Alternatively, you can add a second pair of trends servers to enable increased trending, without altering the interface of your plant operations. CHANGE-VALIDATE-DEPLOY You or your Integrator can now make changes offsite using your existing engineering tools by employing the ‘Include Projects’ in v7.0. Following engineering best practices, unlike with other SCADA systems, changes in CitectSCADA can be completed, validated and deployed at a single instance in time. This can then be deployed online at the site, without having to restart the client. This significantly reduces time and disruption, and removes the risk of operators trying to operate the plant using half-completed changes. MINIMAL DISRUPTION When changes are made which are not able to be processed by the clients without a restart, (eg changing code in a file), operators are given the option to ‘update now or later’, enabling them to continue with their current tasks. REPLICATIVE CLUSTERING

“Clustering is ideally suited to our type of operation since the site is really four or five independent zones. If we did have a network issue through fibre or server loss, with the current configuration we would not be able to get trend or alarm reports. Clustering can remedy that. We will be going from a 10-server network down to around 5 servers. This halving of server cost is another significant benefit”.

Replicative clustering is the fast and simple way for organizations to use the same configuration for a project multiple times, and have that configuration automatically replicate for each cluster. Once one project has been tested, it can be replicated and rolled out over any number of systems without having to test each system individually. Operators can now select and view multiple projects, driven by different clusters at different times on one, on- screen display page.
