Sticking with Citect?
If you’re building additional functions on top of a legacy Citect system, Enterprise Automation offers a host of strategic products to enhance system performance, visibility, and connectivity without requiring a full system replacement.
Our team is experienced in integrating Historian, AMPLA, and other compatible products. Multiple members of our engineering team have been awarded the Citect SCADA Certified Expert (CSCE) qualification and the Citect SCADA Certified Professional (CSCP) qualification.
Upgrading to Plant SCADA?
If you’re ready to upgrade Citect SCADA, AVEVA Plant SCADA is the most straightforward and recommended path, as it’s the direct successor to Citect and offers additional benefits.
- The updated graphical interface offers an intuitive experience, allowing operators to easily interpret complex processes through clear, customizable dashboards and displays. Additionally, the system embraces modern visualization technologies like web clients and mobile applications, enabling secure access to real-time data and control capabilities from a variety of devices.
- Users of Plant SCADA benefit from improved performance and greater scalability, thanks to an optimized software architecture that accelerates data acquisition, processing, and rendering. Compared to earlier versions, Plant SCADA can handle a significantly larger number of tags, devices, and users, supporting the demands of expanding and more complex operations.
- By preserving familiar features from Citect SCADA, Plant SCADA provides a smoother transition for both operators and engineers, resulting in reduced training requirements and quicker system adoption.
What to know before converting
For the smoothest transition, we suggest doing a comprehensive system inventory and documentation that includes:
- Cataloging all components, listing existing Citect SCADA projects, graphics, tags, alarms, scripts, communication drivers, and third party integrations
- Auditing hardware and network and document all hardware and verify their specs and compatibility
- Verifying system requirements and planning hardware upgrades for any servers, work stations, or network components that need updating or replacement
- Gathering existing system configurations, network layouts, user roles, security settings, and operational procedures
- Performing full backups of all projects, databases, and configuration files
Although Plant SCADA includes tools and migration paths to support upgrades, the conversion process is not a small investment. Your automation consultant should improve your understanding of the long-term ROI and operational improvements that are possible.
With the right partner, upgrading your SCADA system isn’t just a routine maintenance task. It can be a critical step in your facility’s master plan and accomplishing your organization’s strategic vision.
