Plant SCADA and AVEVA Integration Studio

AVEVA Integration Studio is an infrastructure-as-a-service virtual development environment that is delivered on AVEVA's cloud services platform CONNECT.

Integration Studio lets you run and manage software applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the physical infrastructure typically required when developing and launching software. You can create templates for virtual machines and deploy multiple instances on demand.

AVEVA Integration Studio offers the following benefits:

• Provides virtual infrastructure for AVEVA servers and software that is pre-installed, configured, and licensed

• Enables management of your projects from one consolidated virtual dashboard

• Provides a fully virtual environment for training your staff and customers

• Simplifies IT overheads, thereby delivering efficiencies and reduced costs.

For more information, see the AVEVA Integration Studio documentation.

Note: Integration Studio is intended for use as a platform to develop and test software applications. It should not be used to operate a live production facility.

You can create collaborative simulation systems using the following components:

• Project templates include all of the settings needed to launch a simulation system. They define the different types of virtual machines required for a system as a set of "Nodes".

• Instances are the virtual machines generated from the Nodes defined in a project template. They form the simulation system accessed by your end users.

• User accounts give people access to AVEVA Integration Studio. Accounts are created and managed by administrators on your team.

• Licenses and Credits are applied to your AVEVA Integration Studio subscription. They control the number of nodes that can be created, however every node is equipped with a full unlimited license for the installed application. There is no need to apply or reconfigure licenses, and you do not need to use the AVEVA's License Manager.

  Note: AVEVA Enterprise Licensing pages will still appear in Configurator on the virtual machines created by Integration Studio. You do not need to use these pages. See Known Issues.

  

To manage AVEVA Integration Studio, you need a CONNECT account with administrative privileges and a paid subscription to Integration Studio. See Access AVEVA Integration Studio.

Note: The following Plant SCADA features are currently not supported by Integration Studio:
• If you use the Setup Wizard to assign the role HMI (Standalone, no networking) to a virtual machine, it will not be able to acquire an HMI license and will run in demo mode.
• Dual network interface cards are not supported.
Installing and using Plant SCADA Access Anywhere is also not supported by Integration Studio.
