Packed with new features, including a powerful Process Analyst; zero-maintenance Web Client; support for true colour and 500 additional symbols, V6 saves time in configuring projects and in analysing information, enabling manufacturers to improve efficiency and productivity, and reduce operating costs.
CitectSCADA V6 is the latest evolution of a fully integrated package that maximises business competitiveness and improves return on assets for global manufacturers.
V6 operates with intuitive graphics and introduces the 'Process Analyst' - a next generation visualisation tool that enables operators and process engineers to quickly analyse the cause of process disturbances by bringing together trend and alarm data, which are traditionally stored separately.

Work with the complete new Citect SCADA suite FREE
Citect is offering the opportunity to work with their complete new SCADA v5.5 suite for free: the software has a run time limited to 15 mins, but users can start developing SCADA projects now!
The new tool also goes further: helping operators to recognise patterns that lead to particular process disturbances, so that in future they can be avoided.
The Process Analyst optimises production time by eliminating the need for engineers to build custom analysis screens: providing instead an integrated trend and alarm viewer.
This means that, rather than having to compare a separate historical analogue trend display with an alarm summary or log printout, users can simply view them all on a single integrated display, which itself benefits from the introduction on V6 of high quality, true 32 bit colour and also the addition of over 500 new graphics symbols.
Together, these make it easier and faster for engineers to create intuitive pages.
Complementing its improved analysis and visualisation facilities, CitectSCADA V6 also enhances decision making, courtesy of a new Web Client.
The Client allows secure, reliable and easy access from anywhere in an enterprise, and offers users the benefit of concurrent licensing, which saves money.
The Web Client provides zero maintenance, fully functional clients for CitectSCADA control systems that can be viewed simply using Internet Explorer.
It provides a link directly to the first page of the SCADA system and allows online changes to graphics pages.
The Client offers full functionality, with support for all CitectSCADA features; support for user files and also active-x controls.
In addition, it also provides data file compression to cater for slow links.
Among its many other benefits, CitectSCADA V6 also consolidates the leading Citect position in providing the most comprehensive range of drivers available.
V6 provides direct online access - via a secure connection with encrypted passwords - to the latest drivers without browsing the web.
Assisting this process, a software tool compares the already installed drivers with the updated ones, enabling Citect Gold membership customers to select which drivers to download. Request a free brochure from Citect ...
