Upgrade Path

Upgrade path refers to the versions you need to install to get from your existing version of Plant SCADA (or Citect SCADA) to the latest version of Plant SCADA.

Some versions included substantial changes to the product, which require incremental upgrades involving intermediate steps between versions. The number of necessary steps will depend on whether you do an offline or online upgrade (see Upgrade Method).

• For an offline upgrade, you can upgrade a project directly from any version of Citect SCADA from 5.21 onwards.

• For an online upgrade, you can go directly from the following versions:

  • Citect SCADA v2020 R2 Update 2 (March 2022) or later.

  • Plant SCADA v2023 (or later).

    If you would like to perform an online upgrade from an earlier version, you will firstly need to temporarily upgrade your system to one of the versions listed above. For more information, see the Installation Guide for the intermediate version.

    You can download the installers for earlier versions from the Products page of the AVEVA™ Knowledge & Support Center (located at https://softwaresupport.aveva.com/).

For both offline and online scenarios you need to:

• Apply the latest patch to the version you are upgrading from.

• Perform the upgrade to Plant SCADA 2023.

• Apply the latest updates to Plant SCADA 2023.

  Note: Any patches released from July to October 2020 should not be used in an online upgrade scenario.
