Parameters

Parameters determine how each CitectSCADA computer operates in the CitectSCADA configuration and runtime environments. For example, there is a parameter which allows you to show or hide the toolbar in the Citect Project Editor, and there is a parameter which determines whether the primary and redundant reports servers send out heartbeat signals to each other at runtime.

UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

Read and understand the applicable material in this manual before changing or removing any citect.ini parameters.
Never change or remove any undocumented citect.ini parameters.
Before deleting sections of the citect.ini file, confirm that no necessary or undocumented parameters will be deleted.
Do not edit your configuration file while your project is running.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Note: Always seek the advice of Technical Support personnel for this product regarding necessary and undocumented features.

You can set operating parameters in:

The project database.
From v7.10, CitectSCADA expects the Citect.ini file to exist in the config folder of the CitectSCADA User and Data folder selected during installation. If the file is not found in the location, it will not search elsewhere and will instead display an error. If you need to store your INI file elsewhere, specify the path to it on the command line when starting citect32.exe and ctexplor.exe. See Text Editors for more information.
Both the project database and the citect.ini file (see Parameter Precedence).
