New Configuration

Clustering

The ability to maintain any number of separate functional control systems while providing complete system visibility. Independent of hardware Independent of include project structure Independent of operator areas of control

Clustering Styles

Operational Clustering

Global clients can display information from both systems.

Servers(Site A)

Servers(Site B)

Global Client(Alarms, Trends, Reports & Graphics)

Reliable Clustering

Many systems made redundant with a single server.

Client/Server(System A)

Client/Server(System B)

Client/Server(System C)

Redundant Server(System A+B+C)

Expansion Clustering

System expansion without risk of disruption.

Client/Server(System A+A+)

Server(Expansion)

Segmentation Clustering

Divide your system to match your business.

Client/Server(System A+B+C+……)

Ad-hoc Clustering

Combined alarms and trends without project integration.

Server*(Site A)

Server*(Site C)

Server*(Site B)

Server*(Site D)

Server*(Site E)

* Utilises CitectSCADA Web Clients for graphics

Repeatable Clustering

Utilise the same configuration for multiple machines.

Global Client(Project A)

System(A1)

System(A2)

System(A3)

System(A4)

System(A5)

Functional Clustering

Use different data sources but the same graphics page.

Client/Server(System A)

Simulation / Replay(System A)

Clustered Systems

Clustered Variables Alarms

Includes SPC

Trends Client displays any single

cluster

Reports Accumulators

Devices Tags = Mycluster.TagName

Non-Clustered Graphics Pages

No duplicates

Code No duplicates

Summary

Fast, Flexible & Reliable CitectSCADA is no

longer limited to a single server system

CitectSCADA is designed for systems integrators to maintain

A redundant system accepts most changes while retaining control system visibility

Upgradeable Citect is committed to

implementing new technology in CitectSCADA.

CitectSCADA retains an upgrade path for all existing customers

CitectSCADA is preparing for the future
