Schneider Electric StruxureWare SCADA Expert ClearSCADA 2014 R1

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.

SCADA Expert ClearSCADA is scalable for large enterprise environments and effective for small systems alike. Distributed system architectures provide high performance and availability as well as disaster recovery capabilities, while the integrated historian facility and open standard interfaces allow long-term storage and analysis of data. Historical field data is made available to local and remote users via integrated clients and third-party data management applications.

The major update features include a refreshed interface, updated functionality and enhanced multimonitor capabilities. These functionalities are embedded in a 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 logging of unsuccessful user logons. It also offers enhanced operational intelligence, due to a new advanced OPC driver, 3D trending and integration with Aquis (Schneider Electric’s software for water network modelling).

SCADA Expert ClearSCADA is designed to allow users to turn field data into actionable business information that is instrumental to improving their efficiency. It is suitable for demanding telemetry applications in the oil and gas, and the water and wastewater industries as it eliminates the need for additional software to collect data from remote devices.
