Industrial Graphics Server Functionality Limitations

Note: AVEVA Industrial Graphics is now deprecated within Plant SCADA and future releases. It will no longer be supported or maintained in future versions, monthly updates or security updates. AVEVA recommends customers cease using AVEVA Industrial Graphics within Plant SCADA runtime systems and decommission any Plant SCADA Industrial Graphics web servers from production and engineering systems. See AVEVA™ Industrial Graphics for more information.

With the current release of Plant SCADA, the Industrial Graphics Server has the following functionality limitations:

• Alarms are not supported.

• Only English locale is supported by the Industrial Graphics Server.

  • For decimal points you need to use "." (period).

  • For thousand separators you need to use "," (comma).

• The status of write operations is not reflected by the status element or quality styles applied to elements. Design your pages so that an operator can determine if a write has been set or rejected by displaying the current value.

• Local variables cannot be referenced.

• Alarm Properties as Tags are not exposed.

• Quality tag extensions are represented as a numeric value. Only OPC quality should be used for an Industrial Graphics application.

• Extended quality modes "Control Inhibit" and "Tag Override" are not available.

• Plant SCADA trends are not supported, however, instant trends via an I/O tag or AVEVA™ Historian are available.

• Web widgets are not supported.

• Industrial Graphics cannot be imported/exported between Plant SCADA and other AVEVA products.

• Native Plant SCADA graphics cannot be converted or imported into Industrial Graphics applications.

• Redundant Industrial Graphics Servers are not supported.

  Note: It is recommended that you review the list of supported graphical elements and limitations before you start creating an Industrial Graphics application. See the topic Supported Graphical Elements and Known Limitations in the AVEVA™ Industrial Graphics section of the Plant SCADA documentation.
