11. Server Licensing Servers are point based, ranging from small to large;
500, 1500, 5k, 25k, 50k+
Server includes integral ViewX license
Redundancy and standard drivers are included
DNP3.0 Master & Slave,
IEC & 104,
Modbus Master & Slave
WEB Server is optional
Points includes metadata depending on protocol
What is the difference between a Point and Tag?
A tag generally refers to a single I/O reference or register in an external Device or RTU, whereas a point includes other property attributes like time-stamp, data quality flag, previous value, alarm limits etc

12. Client Licensing
ViewX -Full function Windows client. No point count limits!
Used for Operator station and Development
Any ViewX client can be used for system development provided user has security permissions
Alarm banner and audible alarms
All graphics are vector based - resizable to any windows resolution
Vector graphic displays are small in file size compared to bitmap therefore high performance over WANs
Support for multi-head displays (several monitors under Windows)
Single ViewX license connects to 64 Power RICH System servers simultaneously ('clustering')
- Zero administration client, no database or graphics to install
WebX - Zero configuration thin Web clien
- No WEB Server to install or manage – it is built in the system
- Full monitor and control capabilities as per security configuration
- No development supported

13. Integrated Development Environment
Power RICH System uses a single "ViewX" used to configure and control the SCADA system. Providing both operators and engineers use the application to both control and monitor/configure based on security settings simultaneously
- Single point of configuration for whole system
- On-line development - NO COMPILING or shutting down
SCADA database is object oriented and this saves 75-90% development effort over traditional systems.
Change in thinking, you start configuration by mimicking physical assets and operational areas rather than tags and displays.
In example shown, we create folders and hierarchy based on customer's business. Folder colors show templates and instances

14. Object Oriented
Common devices can be represented as a template, then 'instances' provide rapid deployment for system
Any Power RICH System object can be included in a template, so this is much more than graphics and tags
Templates can be nested ie. 'PumpStation' template can include 2 individual 'Pump' templates
Changes to templates are automatically reflected in all instances. There is provision for object property override to allow individual settings i.e. alarm limits, or controller station address to be different per instance

15. Embedded Objects
Embedding objects is another time saving tool for rapid system deployment.
In Power RICH System you can embed graphics, trends, lists, html pages and live video.

16. Data Quality
The Power RICH System server keeps an image of all the SCADA points in its real-time database. It is important to understand what is included in a point object as this metadata is more than just a tag. Attributes such as value, data quality, alarm limits, over range indication, data time-stamp, previous values & point statistics are managed at the point level.

17. Vector Graphics
Power RICH System native graphics are vector based, this provides scalable displays without pixilation, typical 1/20 size of bitmap graphics, suitable for any windows resolution and performance over WAN links
800x600 for field laptop and 1680x1050 for control room - no modifying displays
Pan & Zoom for map based displays and layer support for de-clutter
Graphic displays are stored in Power RICH System server only, no maintenance on client workstations.
Can import .DXF, .EMF and .SVG graphics formats
Desktop Display 1280 x 1024
Control Room Multi-Head 21” Displays 2048 x 1536
Power RICH System EE Server
Field Laptop 800 x 600
Vector based Graphics are Scaled by Client

18. Navigation
Power RICH System has several options available for navigation of project:
1. Create hyperlink (button) to open objects such as graphic pages, trends, alarms, lists and reports
2. Use the built-in database hierarchy to select objects
3. Use built-in context sensitive menu available on most objects i.e. ACK alarms, display events, view notes etc.
4. Create user configured menu that may be embedded on page template

19. Alarm Management
Alarms are configured as attributes on any point object
This means you do not need to configure additional tags for alarms
Alarm filtering, suppression and redirection are standard features & no code required
Send Text Messages or based on Alarm conditions. Acknowledge alarms by replying to
Filter by device, folder, area, user, time range, severity level, state etc.
Suppress for fixed, variable time or logic condition
Up to 1000 severity levels
Power RICH System has a standard alarm banner & built-in alarm page

20. Alarm Redirection
Alarm redirection supports business rules to ensure the right user(s) are alerted at the right time when critical events occur in the system.
The trigger condition is generally an alarm; either individual, group or severity level, and if after a predefined time delay when the condition has not cleared or acknowledged, a notification will be sent to the user via , pager or voice.

21. Alarm Redirection - continued

22. Trend - Historian Trend Types Current Trend Raw Historic
Available on any point and does not need to be preconfigured

26. Reports
Report templates are developed using industry standard 'Crystal Reports'.
Report development and viewing is directly embedded in the ViewX client.
Report templates and generated reports are managed by Power RICH System Server
Inherent report redundancy, management of historic Reports
Multiple report formats, multiple export targets. , PDF, HTML, Excel, CSV, SQL Export.
Generate reports on schedules, ad-hoc, automatically on exception

27. Security Power RICH System security is granular down to object level
User management is through individual user accounts and groups
Security policy includes minimum password length, aging, dictionary and inactivity logout. Full audit trail on all actions
Single sign on for clustered systems, all interfaces are secure: Web, OPC, ODBC & OLE Automation

28. Expansion Database expansion Add server(s) Add clients Add systems
Object-based templates offer a significant time saving in configuration when you need to expand your system. Simple drag and drop means that you replicate devices, groups or even entire sites within minutes.
Adding additional Power RICH System Servers or Clients is simple, 'click in box' without any reconfiguration of the system
Database expansion
- full on-line configuration
- increase points, upgrade server size if necessary
Add server(s)
- as mirrored server for complete system
- as performance server for local users
Add clients
- ViewX for operators or additional development PC
- WebX for remote access
Add systems
- ViewX can cluster to multiple servers without any configuration
- server can be deployed as test system with drag and drop configuration

31. Management
Power RICH System includes software tools to remotely manage the Power RICH System
For the customer project, ViewX can do all configuration remote from Server including across WAN.
For Power RICH System Server setup and monitoring, two applications are available: Server Status and WebX client
All access complies with preconfigured security permissions

32. Management

33. Diagnostics
Power RICH System has a number of built-in drivers to self monitor critical areas:
1. Exposes server status as OPC points
2. PRS-EE protocol drivers include statistics and 'live diagnostics' via telnet session
3. 'Performance Monitor' driver for accessing operating system components such as CPU memory, disk space, network traffic etc.
4. SNMP and ICMP drivers are integrated for monitoring network devices such as UPS, LAN switches and even 'pinging' ViewX clients.

34. Ad-hoc Reporting
PRS-EE includes an easy-to-use ad-hoc query tool to access all internal database tables for analysis and reports.
The resulting dataset is displayed as a list and this list is updated dynamically
The list can be filtered (F7 key) and you can copy the underlying SQL query to an embedded list if you wish to view often
