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.
