Citect SCADA has been designed with flexibility in mind; therefore, a system may be
configured to suit your industrial application and project requirements.
Citect SCADA suits both small and large applications and can be configured to keep pace
with the plant and information requirements as they change and expand.
Citect SCADA is easy to learn and use. Features such as templates, genies, and wizards help
reduce the time and effort required to configure the system.
Use these suggested learning objectives to increase your understanding of the topic.
Start Citect SCADA and open each of the programs that make up the
Configuration Environment.
Further Reading
Some of these activities allow configuring the logical representation of the plant whereas the
Deployment activity allows controlling and monitoring of the version runtime project on
each computer.
The Citect Studio comprises an Activity Bar to allow for navigating between different
activities and global commands like Compile and Run.
Use these suggested learning objectives to increase your understanding of the topic.
Describe how to navigate in the Citect Studio using the Activity Bar
Define what is the Command bar and the Compile Messages Area
Understand how to perform various actions in the Grid Editor such as sorting,
filtering, adding and deleting rows and exporting/importing data to/from
Microsoft Excel
Further Reading
Citect SCADA projects are repositories that hold the configuration information for your
system that includes information such as I/O devices, tags, alarms, and graphic pages. The
Projects activity is used to create, manage, and configure projects. Fundamental tasks such as
creating, deleting, backing up, and restoring projects are also performed in the Projects
activity.
Use these suggested learning objectives to increase your understanding of the topic.
Further Reading
Citect SCADA communicates directly with the I/O devices in the plant or factory, allowing
data transfer to, or from, the device and supervisory control of the system.
In Citect SCADA, the Topology activity allows the configuration of the SCADA systems to
support the above mentioned communications. Citect SCADA supports a client-server
network architecture. This provides the flexibility to adapt a Citect SCADA system to any
production scenario, with support for scalability, server clustering, and system redundancy.
Use these suggested learning objectives to increase your understanding of the topic.

mouse.
Privileges and areas may be assigned to each of these and a message can be sent to a log file
each time an operator performs a command.
Use these suggested learning objectives to increase your understanding of the topic.
Further Reading
Devices are similar to I/O devices in that they both allow Citect SCADA to exchange data
with other components in a control and monitoring system.
