Configuring a CitectSCADA project

Initially you use CitectSCADA's configuration environment to identify and address the devices and datasources included in a project by tagging the variables associated with each.

You can then use templates to design graphics pages that reference these tags, creating an interface your staff can use to view and control the system.

With these graphics pages, you can:

• use animations to display the operating status and performance of a plant
• provide operators with centralized or local control of production equipment using keyboard commands and graphical tools
• develop a multi-layered security system that controls user access according to functional groups or geographical areas
• implement historical and millisecond trendingAllows you to use a trends sample period of less than one second. of tag data in a graphical format.

A powerful scripting language is also included to enable customized, programmable functionality.
