SCADA with Windows integrated security

CitectSCADA V7.10 introduces support for Windows integrated security and Microsoft Windows Vista. Windows security integration allows for easier maintenance of CitectSCADA as it is no longer necessary to create and maintain user accounts within the SCADA system. Instead, users of the SCADA system can use their network username and password to access the CitectSCADA system.

Compliance can be easily implemented with the Dual Signature functionality which provides a second level of authorisation for actions. Some operations may have regulatory, environmental or other consequences, and processes dictate that a second level of authorisation is required before the action proceeds. A typical scenario where Dual Signatures can be used is when an operator needs to change a critical setpoint for an operation, but before the change is sent to the controller, their supervisor also has to enter their user name and password to confirm the action.

CitectSCADA V7.10 also introduces other features, including new symbols, Microsoft Excel 2007 integration and graphics enhancements, that make the package easier to configure, operate and maintain.

Enhancements have been made to the custom alarm fields within CitectSCADA V7.10, now providing guidance on actions to be taken as a result of an alarm, more easily disable or temporarily shelve alarms for maintenance and improve the filtering capability.
