Migrating from Plant SCADA (formerly Citect SCADA)

notice

LOSS of data

Backup your project and other relevant historical data files from all servers in the system.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in a loss of data.

Before the introduction of Power Operation, some customers used Citect SCADA for power management edge control applications. Customers using pre-7.x versions of Citect SCADA can migrate their systems to Power Operation to take advantage of the power management features unique to Power Operation.

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. It is important to use these productivity tools when migrating a pre-7.x Citect SCADA system to Power Operation.

The following Power Operation features are only supported using Power Operation productivity tools and workflows:

  • PwrModbus driver
  • Profile Editor and I/O Device Manager
  • Advanced One-line Configuration
  • Waveforms (Comtrade)
  • Built-in Notifications
  • Power Diagnostics tools (PSO 9.0)
  • Basic Reports
  • Advanced Reporting and Dashboards Module
  • Interoperability with EcoStruxure Building Operation
  • LiveView
  • Power Operation Power Graphic Libraries
  • Support for 2-factor authentication and Single-Sign-On with Advanced Reporting and Dashboards Module
  • Historical data from Power Operation to Advanced Reporting and Dashboards Module database via ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tool
  • Thermal Monitoring Application
