April 2008
SCADA/HMI
According to the suppliers, ClearSCADA, equally at home in a wide range of industrial and utility environments maintains the efficiency and ease-of-use that customers expect throughout the entire scada system life cycle. Whether users are designing, building, operating or maintaining critical scada infrastructure, the ClearSCADA architecture and online object database provide a state-of-the-art, third-generation scada platform.
Reliability
Based on industry-standard open interfaces and protocols, ClearSCADA systems scale easily from a single client/server to a large installation of dedicated servers and dispersed clients. Built-in system redundancy and data-backfilling features assure the highest degree of data reliability, without the need for code development.
Operational features
Packed with intuitive features and powerful development, viewing, and reporting tools, ClearSCADA offers two client types that meet the needs of all system users. As a full function client, ClearSCADA ViewX provides highly developed operator-interface components including dynamic displays, alarm banner and event list, live and historic trending, and report generation. It is also the development environment with a wide range of productivity tools. ClearSCADA WebX is a thin client providing full operational functionality and process control over a secure Internet connection via a web browser. Using concurrent licensing, WebX clients allow systems to be viewed and controlled from anywhere.
Deployment
With power features such as templates, templates within templates, instantiating and power deployment of servers, multiple redundant servers, clients, new mimics, engineering time and maintenance is drastically reduced.
Security
With today's enhanced security requirements, scada systems must provide state-of-the-art security technology at all levels of operation. ClearSCADA security features are based on FDA 21 CFR Part 11 recommendations. Security is granular, configured at the object level and is based on user-access profiles and object permissions. All ClearSCADA system interfaces are inherently secure. Features include minimum password length and expiry.
