CitectSCADA V7.10 SCADA software upgrade

Citect has equipped the latest edition of CitectSCADA, V7.10, with Windows Integrated Security and support for Microsoft Windows Vista.

Windows security integration allows for easier maintenance of CitectSCADA as it is no longer necessary to create and maintain user accounts within the SCADA system. Instead, users of the SCADA system can simply use their network username and password to access the CitectSCADA system.

Compliance can be easily implemented with the Dual Signature functionality which provides a second level of authorisation for actions. Some operations may have regulatory, environmental or other consequences, and processes dictate that a second level of authorisation is required before the action proceeds.

CitectSCADA V7.10 introduces other features including new symbols, Microsoft Excel 2007 integration and graphics enhancements that make the package easier to configure, operate and maintain.

Enhancements have been made to the custom alarm fields within CitectSCADA V7.10. This functionality can provide guidance on actions to be taken as a result of an alarm, more easily disable or temporarily shelve alarms for maintenance and improve the filtering capability.

Citect continues to improve the security of CitectSCADA and various security upgrades have been made in the V7.10 release.
