7. ClearSCADA Intro. • More than just a communication server, ClearSCADA is an integration platform, automation software, data analysis package, HMI and more. • The platform offers: • Integrated Web-Server • Seamless redundancy and reliability • Historian • Configuration tools: Object orientated, templates, symbols, drag & drop • Productivity tools: trends, reports, lists • Full suite of standard protocols • IEC 61131 logic • Native support of CMI products

9. Open Standards • OPC Data Access • OPC Historic • OPC Alarm & Events • ODBC • OLE/DB • HTTP/XML • Visual Basic For Applications

10. A comprehensive security model allows flexible assignment of login access and privileges. User access level and types can be defined for ViewX, WebX or remote users including group association such as “operators”, “engineers”, or “administration”. For each object in the database permissions are set for users and groups, thus defining the features available to each group. Exclusive access to database areas ranging from the entire database to single objects is possible. The WebX server supports SSL in conjunction with the built in model. System Security

11. Architecture

12. Distributed redundant servers with bump-less automatic transfer of configuration and historic data (Dual and Triple Redundancy). Performance Firewall / Permanent Standby Server for large systems with many clients. ViewX client automatically attaches to the most network efficient database server in a redundant system. Dual network redundancy. Efficient bandwidth usage from Kbyte to Gbyte redundancy links. Redundancy

13. Object Orientated • Objects represent all points, devices and sites. • Once defined, database can be used in templates and subsequently appear in all instances. • Object Properties: OPC based structure, contains all information related to the object. • Any number of database objects can be part of a complex template (e.g. substation), including nested template instances. • Apply global changes easily and efficiently by modifying the template. Changes automatically update in instances. • SCADA controls and actions are easily associated with objects and mimics for operators to perform tasks without additional programming.

14. Supports an array of standard protocols including Modbus and DNP3.0 Supports Ethernet based network protocol communications including, Modbus/TCP, DNP3.0 TCP/IP and SNMP. New protocols added using software developer kit. Device communication redundancy utilizing any medium: cabled, wireless, dialup. Time stamping and unsolicited event reporting is natively supported. Supports extended communication facilities including multiple communication connections using different mediums and protocols. Communications

15. Components • Configures the connections between ViewX and Database Servers. • Online documentation describing ClearSCADA functionality and operation • Provides functionality for license implementation • Provides access to Server configuration and Registers • Server Start and stop function. • ClearSCADA user friendly database viewer and configuration including WebX interface using standard web technology.

16. Connections • Allows Connections to be made between ViewX and System Servers. • For each system four possible connections can be defined. The most efficient is used. • Allows for ViewX/Server Timeout options, TCP/IP tuning and licensing.

17. Configuration • Systems can be setup to operate in a manner best suited for the application. • The type of information available for configuration is varied, falling into the following categories: • Database Configuration - items relating to database structure. • Global Parameters - related to driver properties. • System Configuration - related to properties of the system. • Registers - a list of registers created and used by the server and ViewX.

18. Service Manager • ClearSCADA Services can be shut down and started from this window.

19. Full configuration from anywhere on the LAN/WAN (with Security). Seamless access to multiple servers and multiple systems. Access segmentation based on user log-in and security. ViewX does not utilize a local data base copy – all configuration changes are communicated to the data base on the server(s). Client side scripting. ViewX can connect to multiple Server Systems. ViewX

20. True online configuration – no need to shut down and recompile. Configuration from any ViewX client using appropriate security access. Configuration changes appear instantly on all clients automatically. Concurrent configuration by multiple users. Advanced configuration tools provide reduced cost in system deployment and maintenance by re-using common configuration items (animated symbols template and instances, embedded mimics). ViewX cont..

22. Mimics • Displays Static Objects and Dynamic Database Information. • Integrated functionally to other ViewX Facilities using ‘Pick Actions’ • Create Symbol libraries for dynamic mimic reuse. • Pan and zoom with de-clutter • Mimic, Graph and List Linking • Multiple layers

23. Trends & Graphs • High performance long term historian – built in to ClearSCADA • OPC historic data access • Aggregate displays & automatic calculations • Pan & zoom navigation • Intelligent axes and markers • Ruler • Annotations • Modify, insert and delete • Cut and paste into clipboard

24. Alarms • Alarm list: • Full screen alarm view • OPC alarm and event compliant • Alarm banner: • Permanently displayed (optional) • Configurable columns, colours and priority

25. Lists • Live tabular display of data • Flat alternative to the hierarchical navigator • Lists can be filtered and sorted • Present live data and are dynamic

26. IEC 61131-3 Logic • Graphical and textual programming facility: • Function Block Diagrams (FBD) • Structured Text (ST) • Structured Function Charts (SFC) • Ladder Diagrams (LD) • Integrated into templates. • On-line debugger. • Applications: • Custom calculations • Automated processing • Alarm management • Support software Librariesfor code re-use.

27. Configuration tools that provide time saving configuration methods using templates and instances. Fast configuration of multiple sites or processes that share properties. Templates can be nested so you can uniquely structure projects. A group of objects can be copied and reused for multiple instances with similar characteristics. Significantly reduces deployment time and cost. Templates & Instances

28. Embedded web server Full access to view data and execute controls using a standard browser Security policies to restrict access and privileges Secure Socket Layer Cost effective client deployment. WebX Client

29. Tight Integration with ClearSCADA. Fast deployment & configuration allowing the addition of a new controller to the SCADA network with ease. Automatic distribution of configuration changes across the system. Upload and download configuration files. Version control. Clock synchronization. Remote diagnostics. SCADAPackES

30. OPC server core architecture supporting OPC Data Access, OPC Historic and OPC Alarms and Events. OPC client interface to allow the integration of third party servers. Full support for open interfaces such as ODBC, OLE/DB, VBA, SQL. Integrated web server with secure sockets and login support. Web client allowing wide scale deployment at a reduced cost. Outstanding redundancy and auto-recovery providing extra reliability. Flexible architectures for systems ranging in size from a few hundred data points to hundreds of thousands of data points. Use of configuration tools that reduces configuration and maintenance time, reducing cost of deployment. Security feature that provide control of individual/group access to the database down to single object resolution. Summary
