Citect SCADA 2015 SP1 Release Notes

New features and enhancements

• Scheduler integration for Bacnet

  New properties have been added to the Scheduler ActiveX control to allow you to control:

  • The selected cluster

  • The selected equipment

  • The selected tab

  • The selected special day category

  • To remove the configuration view.

• Tag Import improvements for Bacnet

  Variable tags for Bacnet schedules can now be imported directly from Bacnet compatible devices into CitectSCADA using the Tag Import feature. Equipment can automatically be created Bacnet schedules and Bacnet calendar objects which allows integration into the Scheduler.

• Generate Project Summary

  The project summary is an xml based file that contains information about the current project and usercreated include projects. The project summary contains statistics on:

  • Variable Tags

  • Alarms

  • Trends

  • I/O Devices

  • Internal Cicode functions used

    A project summary can be generated by selecting Generate Project Summary from the tools menu in Project Editor. All information in the project summary is anonymous.

• Cicode Profiler

  The performance of user created Cicode functions can now be measured using the Cicode profiler. This feature will create a report showing the amount of time each Cicode function has taken to execute. This is useful for debugging large projects with complex Cicode.

• Exclusive Redundancy

  I/O Devices now support exclusive redundancy. This can be enabled by setting the “Exclusive” setting to true for an I/O Device and all of its matching redundant devices.

  When Exclusive redundancy is enabled, only one redundant device will send requests to the field device at any one time. All I/O Devices will still create a channel to the field device.
