Enhance security and safety
Simple and smart security in SCADA
The integration of camera/video surveillance helps enhance process efficiency
with a birds-eye view of actual operations as well as providing added security
for valuable company assets and equipment.
The ability to seamlessly interface with Pelco cameras is a standard feature
of Schneider Electric™ Vijeo Citect, making our security solution simpler,
smarter and more secure. It provides operators with:
> Greater flexibility and control over the security and management
of company assets
> Rapid detection of potential security events
> Integrated tools to help supervise people and equipment
> Central viewing of remote events, helping them to make more

An integrated solution
Traditional methods of access control and monitoring of your personnel and
equipment in hazardous areas are often difficult to manage, prone to human
error and neglect, and slow to produce critical information. Regulatory bodies
have become involved and are now stepping up demands for site managers
to find better ways of addressing these issues. A simple yet highly effective
option is the integration of camera/video surveillance on operators’ SCADA
screens. This additional capability:
> Provides a visual validation of the actual equipment, perimeter, zone or site
in question, helping to improve the quality of decision-making
> Visualizes the situation before responding to process or security incidents
> Effectively supervises the security of plant and assets
> Helps minimize risks to field staff in potentially hazardous situations.

Monitor all your plant
from a single control location
Unify any number of HMI/BOX PC clients into a
single ‘clustered’ SCADA system providing users
with the optimum topology. While each local HMI
can view its own control process, global control
clients can be implemented to view across the
entire control system, complete with unified alarm
lists and the ability to compare trended data
across the entire plant floor. The ability to monitor
all your plant processes from a single control
location affords you:
> Better operational efficiency
> Better maintenance efficiency
> Better energy efficiency
> Less manpower requirements
> Reduced operating costs.
Redundancy out
in the field thanks
to BOX PC
SCADA (Central)
server with clusters
Cluster 1
Cluster 2
Cluster 3
Bring the servers closer to your process thanks to the ruggedized Magelis
industrial PCs. Its allows very large processes to be hosted in the field
and share the central redundant server out in the field, with the clustering
topology by SCADA. You reduce the risk of network outage and system
downtime. You increase process efficiency and performance by maintaining
the redundant long-distance process itself on the plant floor.
Open and scalable
multi-protocol architecture
The integrated offer can communicate with a large
selection of programmable logic controllers (PLC),
peripherals, and other equipment, all connected to
a single HMI terminal. The equipment can include
different models from various manufacturers with
different types of connections.
With its multi-protocol architecture, you can adopt
it into an existing system without upgrading or
modifying existing equipment, or you can design
an entirely new automation and control system
from scratch.
Support for dynamic clustering means each BOX PC can be
monitored and controlled from a central control room at the
same time, enjoying the full server functionality and redundancy
out in the field.
