Schneider Electric – SCADA Activity

Schneider Electric – SCADA Activity (formerly known as Citect) has been providing world-class automation software solutions and services for over 35 years. Renowned for the innovation and application of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Human Machine Interface (HMI) solutions, the development of powerful and reliable industrial software capable of withstanding the rigours of large-scale operations is one of our core strengths. Our commitment has only strengthened following the recent integration with parent company and global energy management specialists, Schneider Electric.

The SCADA range is a vital part of the Schneider Electric offering, and includes CitectSCADA, CitectHistorian, Vijeo Citect, Vijeo Historian, SCADA Migration Services, Educational Services and SCADA Global Support.

Surveillance, remote monitoring and control functions have become critical for many businesses. Companies require the ability to closely monitor critical processes, high-value equipment and strategic production materials. All these tasks can now be accomplished easily thanks to the ability to integrate Pelco cameras into the SCADA system so that live video can be viewed directly on SCADA screens.

The integration of camera/video surveillance on operators’ SCADA screens:

• Provides a visual validation of the actual equipment, perimeter, zone or site in question, helping to improve the quality of decision-making.
• Confines the need for site visits to genuine security/process incidents, resulting in optimised management of field staff, lower travel costs and a reduced carbon footprint.
• Improves the effectiveness of intervention through more informed insight into the scale of a problem and, consequently, reduces risk to staff in potentially hazardous conditions.
• Hastens emergency response times with less disruption to operations thanks to richer, context-sensitive assessments.

The Pelco Integration Interface version is 1.20 and the SCADA versions are 7.0, 7.10 and 7.20 of CitectSCADA, CitectFacilities and Vijeo Citect.
