2 Vijeo Citect V7.20 Objectives Helping you to Reduce development time & risk Make smarter decisions Optimise assets production & resources Adapt to new business requirements Secure the automation investment System Values 2

3 What s New V7.20 3

4 What s New Simpler to build, smarter to operate and more secure to maintain! Make more educated decisions as tag extensions provide more tag context information Minimise system downtime thanks to server-side online changes that enable server reloads without restarting Take advantage of the new widescreen LCD templates, named associations and metadata to reduce development time and effort 4

5 What s New (continued) Prolong the life of your system with the introduction of support for Windows 7 The ability to integrate Pelco cameras for remote monitoring of operation and security New OFS driver for tighter integration with Schneider Electric hardware Take advantage of security, performance and quality improvements to stay ahead of your competitors Use Process Analyst to better understand your process by plotting new data against historical data 5

6 Benefits at a glance Optimise your assets, production and resources Gain a more holistic picture of your processes Make more informed decisions Improve operator effectiveness Tighten asset security Reduce development cost, time and risk 6

7 Optimise assets, production and resources 7

8 Server-side Online Changes Change the configuration, recompile and ask the server to reload the configuration 8

9 Online Changes Alarms, Trends & Reports Able to add a new set of alarm, trend and report configurations to the system without restarting Process Reload new configuration on demand, adapting to changes in operational requirements Rapid application of changes during production is now possible without system interruption via the server-side online changes. 9

10 Minimise Downtime Alarms, Trends & Reports Minimise interruption to processing the valid configuration even if servers are reloaded with unexpected issues Process System changes can be automatically detected and applied by the client The operator will be alerted if the new page is affected by system changes 10

11 Secure your automation investment 11

12 OFSOPC Driver Take the advantage of tighter integration with Schneider Electric hardware through the new OFSOPC driver for use with the OPC Factory Server (OFS) Take advantage of specific OFS features such as push data and individual element array writes Added ability to collect a number of write operations to be executed in a batch Easy to get up and running as no INI settings need to be applied to Driver is Pre-tuned to give the optimal performance 12

13 Windows 7 Support Support for the latest Microsoft operating system Windows 7 Managing risk through enhanced security and control No functional differences when migrating from Vista to Windows 7 13

14 Continuous Improvement Security Enhanced inter-server security Roles available for all user types Quality Frequent Service Packs Better Diagnostics tools Logging Synchronisation Performance Improved... Overall, about 83% of tested V7.20 functions have significantly surpassed V7.10 and V6.10 performance. 14

15 Adapt to new business requirements 15

16 Rich Tag Information Time-stamped data and its quality provide a more holistic picture by providing additional information See when the value last changed See when the quality last changed See when a communications update occurred Tag extensions hold the value, quality and multiple timestamps for each variable tag Time-stamps are distributed system-wide from the I/O Server Some RTU-based protocols get the time-stamp at the source 16

17 Tag Extensions A Tag Override function allows you to manually define a system value if there is a sensor or device problem Indicates that a particular value cannot be trusted Displays a value that has been reported by direct observation The Control Inhibit function allows changes to be blocked to ensure unexpected changes do not impact system operation Protect against system failure 17

18 Applications Alarm state changes are time-stamped based on the variables time-stamps Better indication of the actual sequence in which events occurred Improved synchronisation between servers in the event of disconnection Trend tags have an individual dead-band Stores every update even when limiting the frequency of updates to clients to save network bandwidth Saves on storage space by not storing minor value deviations 18

19 New Installation Options A runtime-only option for the client and server install Eliminates unnecessary access to the configuration environment by staff who should not be making system changes Reduces maintenance by limiting the software installation footprint Installation is faster thanks to the reduction in components A single-file version of the runtime-only client Ready to download and install from an easy-to-access location in your system so new clients can be installed quickly and easily 19

20 Make more informed decisions 20

21 Pelco Camera Integration View video feed from Pelco cameras directly on the control system displays Keep a greater watch over secured areas and high-value equipment and materials to improve security Protect equipment by visual verification of the system operation in conjunction with the live operating metrics Reduce risk to field staff in potentially hazardous situations Effective remote monitoring functions via pre-programmed positions of the camera pane 21

22 Improved Data Analysis Instant Trend Variable Tags See a short-term trend of any variable in the system without the need to configure a Trend tag Historian connection Compare historical process patterns with a current process Gain access to a far greater amount of process data across much longer time periods 22

23 educe development cost, time and risk 23

24 New Templates Improved user interface Modern look and feel in line with the latest applications New Tab Style menu system More functionality with less code New Page functions to make systems easier to design Aspect ratios for modern display resolutions 1280 x 1024 [5:4], 1920 x 1200 [16:10], 1920 x 1080 [16:9], 1024 x 768 [4:3] 24

25 Object Enhancements Metadata added to all the animation objects to hold custom object specific information that can be used for almost any purpose Hold operating parameters Complex object data store Supports Genie substitution Super-Genie associations Built-in functions Less user Cicode Shorter development time Easier project maintenance 25

26 Page Enhancements Named Associations are now available for use in SuperGenies rather than having to remember/record what number applies to each association Easier project maintenance More powerful SuperGenies Default value Used if no Association is set Value on Error Description Used if the Association did not succeed Document the application 26

27 New Application Icons Introduction of a new set of application icons that illustrate some of the key software functions in a more intuitive style 27
