Power SCADA Anywhere component

Power SCADA Anywhere is a legacy solution that is being substituted with the new HTML5 PO 2021 web client.

Power SCADA Anywhere is an optional component. It is an HTML5 streaming application that allows for the visualization of the Power Operation Runtime from any HTML5 compliant browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, etc) by streaming a remote desktop application from a Client Access.

Browser requirements

Power SCADA Anywhere is supported in the following browsers:

  • Internet Explorer 11
  • Edge
  • Chrome
  • Safari

When using the Power SCADA Anywhere client, we are assuming that the various components listed below are integrated into a runtime experience that is being used in a Client Access such as Power SCADA thick client graphics pages including 1-line diagram/engine built with Citect graphics:

  • PME reports, PME dashboards and PME WebReach Diagrams
  • Power Operation Basic Reports
  • LiveView (Power SCADA Real Time Tables implementation)
  • Event Notification Module (configuration tools)

When these components are integrated into a runtime that is being streamed using Power SCADA Anywhere all HTML5 client browsers listed previous are supported.

Multiple instances of Power SCADA Anywhere can be opened at the same time in a web browser.

Windows Active Directory support

Power SCADA Anywhere users can only be managed via Windows Active Directory. The machine hosting Power SCADA Anywhere must be installed on a machine that is part of a Windows domain.

Licensing options

Each Power SCADA Anywhere license allows up to 5 concurrent connections to the runtime via HTML5 web browsers. For more information on licensing, see License keys.

Design considerations

  • Power SCADA Anywhere requires an equal number of Power Operation Client Access to be licensed.
  • Power SCADA Anywhere requires a domain to use Windows Remote Desktop licenses.

    • The Power SCADA Anywhere host cannot be installed on a domain controller.

  • Since Power SCADA Anywhere uses Windows remote desktop connections, it requires an equal number of Windows Remote Desktop Services (RDS) client access licenses to be purchased.
