The launch of CitectSCADA V7.0 from Citect provides companies with many new architecture options, such as supporting clustering across multiple sites, hybrid solutions of centralized and distributed control, with the ability to pair many local control servers with a single central standby server, and segmenting the control system on the same hardware to reduce the impact of system expansion.Version 7.0 also helps provide standardization and a single point of change when CitectSCADA is used as the central control system and on local control panels. Customers can also benefit from the improved licensing included in this version. The same project configuration can be used across an entire site, but only the tags used at each operator display are counted. Rapid change deployment allows users to roll out changes to graphics screens without restart, permit changes, without client restart, to alarms, trends and reports, and deploy changes to the entire system in a single step.
