11 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 Clustering OperationalReliableExpansionSegmentationAd-hocRepeatableFunctional

Operational Clustering Global clients can display information from both systems. Servers (Site A) Servers (Site B) Global Client (Alarms, Trends, Reports & Graphics) Operational

Reliable Clustering Many systems made redundant with a single server. Reliable 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. Expansion Client/Server (System A+A + ) Server (Expansion)

Segmentation Clustering Divide your system to match your business. Segmentation 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 Ad-hoc

Repeatable Clustering Utilise the same configuration for multiple machines. Repeatable 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. Functional Client/Server (System A) Simulation / Replay (System A)

Upgrade 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
