For designers with a Citect background

Engineers developing Power Operation with a background in Plant SCADA and process automation may be unaware of the importance of the differentiated Power Operation development tools and the Power Applications that Power Operation is used for.

INOPERABLE SYSTEM

Ensure that you have received training and understand the importance of the Power Operation productivity tools and workflows.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in overly complex projects, cost overruns, rework, and countless hours of support troubleshooting.

NOTE: Power Operation is built on Power Operation Studio and includes productivity tools that are designed and optimized to create the tags you need to configure power-based SCADA projects. If you have prior experience using Power Operation Studio, do not rely exclusively on Citect tools to build a SCADA project.

 

Ensure that you and your engineers are aware of Power Operation’s unique tooling and workflows. The following features only are supported using Power Operation tooling and workflows:

  • HTML5 built-in graphics, alarms, and waveforms
  • Event Notification Module
  • Interoperability with Advanced Reporting (specifically ETL for PME)
  • Interoperability with EcoStruxure™ Building Operation (specifically Power Operation EWS implementation for EBO)
  • LiveView
  • Basic Reports
  • One-line configuration
  • Power Operation power graphics libraries, i.e. genies
  • I/O Device Manager
  • ION and Power Modbus drivers will be complex to set up without Power Operation tooling
