Scada system tackles powerful monitoring task
The Process Analyst is one of the major new features of CitectScada V6 and allows operators and process engineers to analyse the cause of process disturbances.
Software boosts yacht energy efficiency
Through clustering, control environments can reduce the high costs associated with multiple redundancies in hardware, while still ensuring server availability.
CitectScada V6 is the latest evolution of a fully integrated package that maximises business competitiveness and improves return on assets for global manufacturers.
V6 operates with intuitive graphics and introduces the Process Analyst - a next generation visualisation tool that enables operators and process engineers to quickly analyse the cause of process disturbances by bringing together trend and alarm data, which are traditionally stored separately.
The new tool also goes further: helping operators to recognise patterns that lead to particular process disturbances, so that in future they can be avoided.

Migration software eases Scada switchover
The latest version of Switch2Citect provides enhanced functionality, not only to migrate but also to improve the conversion of legacy systems.
The Process Analyst optimises production time by eliminating the need for engineers to build custom analysis screens: providing instead an integrated trend and alarm viewer.
This means that, rather than having to compare a separate historical analog trend display with an alarm summary or log printout, users can simply view them all on a single integrated display, which itself benefits from the introduction on V6 of high quality, true 32bit colour and also the addition of over 500 new graphics symbols.
Together, these make it easier and faster for engineers to create intuitive pages.
Complementing its improved analysis and visualisation facilities, CitectScada V6 also enhances decision making, courtesy of a new web client.
The client allows secure, reliable and easy access from anywhere in an enterprise, and offers users the benefit of concurrent licensing, which saves money.
The web client provides zero maintenance, fully functional clients for CitectScada control systems that can be viewed simply using Internet Explorer.
It provides a link directly to the first page of the Scada system and allows online changes to graphics pages.
The client offers full functionality, with support for all CitectScada features; support for user files and also Active-X controls.
In addition, it also provides data file compression to cater for slow links.
Among its many other benefits, CitectScada V6 also consolidates Citect's leading position in providing the most comprehensive range of drivers available.
V6 provides direct online access - via a secure connection with encrypted passwords - to the latest drivers without browsing the web.
Assisting this process, a software tool compares the already installed drivers with the updated ones, enabling Citect Gold membership customers to select which drivers to download. Request a free brochure from Citect ...
