AVEVA Plant SCADA 2020 R2 is now available!!

Citect SCADA is now AVEVA Plant SCADA, and we’re pleased to announce the release of AVEVA Plant SCADA 2020 R2. AVEVA Plant SCADA 2020 R2 (formerly Citect SCADA) helps make our customers’ plant information accessible from anywhere, securely with the addition of Industrial Graphics, OPC-UA Server, IPv6 networking, and more!

 

AVEVA Industrial Graphics

AVEVA Industrial Graphics provides a new thin client solution for the delivery of HTML5 graphics to desktop browsers and mobile devices. This consists of a new modern graphics editor, new graphics technology, and new web client runtime experience offering HTML5 visualization, all available alongside the existing Graphics Builder editor, legacy Graphics format, and high-performance desktop runtime.

 

Improved Connectivity (IPv6, OPC-UA Server)

In Plant SCADA 2020 R2, IPv6 addresses are supported throughout the configuration, including PC Network Addresses, I/O Devices (for supported drivers), Servers and Clients. In addition, Plant SCADA supports native OPC-UA server functionality to share your plant data throughout your organization.

A new Connectivity Server component has been created to be the foundation of OPC-UA communications, and to serve data updates to drive animations within our new HTML5 graphics.

 

Other Enhancements

In addition to the keynote features mentioned above, the following enhancements are also now available within Plant SCADA 2020 R2:

  • Determine usage of Graphics Library items throughout your project (integrated for both legacy Graphics and new Industrial Graphics Libraries) within Plant SCADA Studio IDE
  • Persistent GoTo Object dialog settings within Graphics Builder
  • Display dialogs from Graphics Builder on correct monitor
  • Hide ‘Add’ button in Special Days view of the BACnet Scheduler at runtime

Plant SCADA supports direct upgrade from Citect SCADA, with both online and offline upgrade options available (depending on your existing version). Review the product documentation for more information.

Plant SCADA 2020 R2 is now available for download from our Product Hub.

  • The AVEVA Industrial Graphics feature looks really interesting but can you clarify - it is not possible to build a system just using this graphics toolkit? (ie for the operator control stations).

  • Hi  ,

    It is possible to create an AIG only graphics system or project. You would still obviously need to define the system topology (IO, Trend, alarm servers, etc.) and the variable tags. Once you get your SCADA Server running, AIG Web Server running (which has the connectivity service), the AIG Web Clients can use this data on the pages you've created in the new graphics toolkit.

    See example topology here:

    Please note that this initial release of Industrial Graphics does not support Trend or Alarm data from Plant SCADA. We are looking to add this capability in a future release. It only supports real-time data from IO at this point in time.

  • I had to dig through all the documentation to find this, but these are the other current limitations of AIG that I came across: no tag writes, alarms, alarm properties as tags, quality tag extensions, Plant SCADA historical trends, web widgets, import/export between Aveva products, conversion of native Plant SCADA graphics, or redundant Industrial Graphics servers. This is now published in TN3481
