Features


Equipment-based tag referencing

Equipment-based tag referencing

Equipment structures let you organize projects hierarchically by asset. When you represent a pump as equipment, AVEVA Plant SCADA groups its tags, events, alarms, permissions, communications, scheduling, and scripting in one place. You can also link the pump to a geographic area or a functional process.

Centralized client-server architecture

Centralized client-server architecture

Centralized project deployment enables controlled transfer of project changes to servers and clients. Native version control supports local and remote rollback, while delta-only transfer minimizes network load and reduces downtime.

Connectivity library

Connectivity library

AVEVA Plant SCADA’s connectivity library supports communication through 150+ native protocol drivers, configurable to your requirements. Connect a wide range of production devices across common industrial protocols, including OPC UA, BACnet, IEC 61850, Modbus, DNP3, and IEC 60870.


Comprehensive programming language

Comprehensive programming language

Cicode is a powerful and easy-to-use programming language unique to AVEVA Plant SCADA. This gives you deep customization and flexibility in design and scripting with over 1,000 built-in functions.

Process analyst and trends

Process analyst and trends

AVEVA Plant SCADA’s Process Analyst helps operators compare and analyze trend and alarm-tag data—both real-time and historical—while the system is running. It works within your existing AVEVA Plant SCADA server architecture to deliver operational insight without disrupting runtime operations.
