Project development structure

The following image shows an example project development structure for a multi-clustered system.

NOTE: Arrows point from the include project to the project that includes them. For example, The SiteX_Common_Include project is an include project of the Site_X_EPMS_P1 project.

Follow the preceding example project development structure for each site. In the example, two clusters are created in SiteX_EPMS_P1 phase. The clusters can also be created on any individual phases.

SCADA Project	Description
Site_X_Primary	Primary (sometimes called a master) project used to combine all individual site phase projects (SiteX_EPMS_P1,P2, P3, etc.). This project has the site menus, one-line menus, and other page links that are available only on that site. The SiteX_Primary project does not have any Servers or I/O devices.
SiteX_EPMS_P1	This project works without the need for any other phases. In the example project, the initial project will have two clusters. Additional clusters can be created on this initial project or on subsequent phase projects. Each cluster has its own I/O, Alarm, Trend and Report Servers. The SiteX_EPMS_P1 project must have the computer and network information that will be used for the site. Other projects do not need computer and network information.
SiteX_EPMS_P2	This project is an example additional phase project include that has the original SiteX_EPMS_P1 project as an include. This means it receives all the site information (Clusters, Computer, Network, etc.). It can create its own cluster and unique servers if necessary.
SiteX_Common_Include	This is an include project that will contain all the unique pop-ups, pages, genies, etc. that will be specific to the particular sites.
PLS_Include	Default Power Operation include project. This is a default project that is required on any project. This project will be the same throughout all the sites.
