SCADA Projects

SCADA projects are repositories that hold the configuration information for your system that includes information such as servers and other system components, I/O devices, tags, alarms, and graphic pages that are used to build a runtime system, and Cicode/CitectVBA.

The configuration for a runtime system can be spread across multiple projects depending upon the scale of operations. Small, simple operations may require only a single project that houses all components required for runtime. For larger, complex operations or multi-site operations, several projects can be created based on specific plant areas, engineering processes or libraries, which are “included” together to form a single merged configuration used at runtime.

This section includes the following project-related topics:

• Restore a project
• Use the Migration Utility
• Before you add a project
• Add a project using Project Setup
• Compile a project
• Backup a project

In the Plant SCADA help file ( ..\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric\Power Operation\v2024\bin\Help\SCADA Help), see also:

• Plant SCADA Projects for information about the components that make up a project. This topic also discusses physical layout, requirements such as architecture and security, and project design.
• Project Types for information on preparing for a project.
