Schneider Electric StruxureWare SCADA Expert ClearSCADA

Schneider Electric has announced an updated release of StruxureWare SCADA Expert ClearSCADA, its open software platform for management and optimisation of remote assets in critical infrastructures.

The user interface has been updated to make the user experience more seamless and intuitive, and  new functionality has been added, including a tabbed document interface, recent documents list, asynchronous server communications and enhanced multimonitor capabilities. These functionalities are embedded in a new ribbon-style framework that is the current standard for other Windows applications, while still providing the familiar core SCADA Expert ClearSCADA functionality.

Users will also notice improved security and protection of system information, with restricted access to sensitive IP Address and Node Name information (including servers, clients and other IP-connected devices) and unsuccessful user logons.

Operational intelligence has been enhanced, due to an advanced OPC driver, 3D trending and integration with Aquis (Schneider Electric’s software for water network modelling). Set-up time has also been reduced, with simplified calculations for internal points and the Bulk Edit tool.

SCADA Expert ClearSCADA is suitable for demanding telemetry applications in the oil and gas industry as well as water and wastewater as it eliminates the need for additional software to collect data from remote devices.
