no compilation of code or the need to shutdown the server following an
addition or change. Any work done within the Display Client is
immediately incorporated into the system and becomes live. In addition,
multiple clients shall be able to simultaneously be connected to the PCMS
server, each giving its end-user the ability to perform individual tasks and
objectives. This allows teams of engineers to work in a fully collaborative
environment, developing the PCMS system database without the need to
merge the work of individual contributors.
The IDE shall provide all the necessary tools for efficient configuration of
database objects. These include as a minimum: edit toolbar, alignment
toolbar, operating toolbar, navigate and debug toolbars, as well as,
cut/copy and paste, drag and drop, and context sensitive object menus.
Localized object-based context sensitive menus allow the engineers fast
access to all functions that can be performed on or with a database object.
System commands shall also be part of an object menu and shall be
available at any point in the database allowing for easy access during the
creation of new objects and instances of template objects.
Online Configuration
The system database configurations shall be able to be modified on line.
This includes activating the configurations when modified, as well as,
propagating the changes to standby and performance system nodes.
Display Client caches shall be updated when next accessed. Features that
can be modified online without disrupting system operation include:
add communication channels
add devices to an existing channel
add points to an existing device
modify channel, device & point attributes
enable / disable or modify event and historic recording
attributes
add or modify mimics
add or modify pre-defined trends

9.2.2
The computer and software shall be capable of running other Microsoft
Windows compatible packaged software programs, such as, word
processing, spreadsheets, database, while constantly monitoring the
PMCS field networks. The PMCS system shall provide access for 3rd
party applications to the entire configuration database, real-time and
historical process data, alarm, and event history. Applications shall be
able to interface using SQL Queries (ODBC), OPC (Object Linking and
Embedding for Process Control), and through an OLE Automation
interface. The OLE automation interface shall provide the capability to
use a 3rd party application, such as Microsoft Excel with VBA (Visual
Basic for Applications), to configure or modify system databases. This
will allow users to optionally use VBA, C#, C++, or another application
to configure and maintain the system. For example, an Excel spreadsheet
that holds the configuration data for each substation could be used to add
other Substations. Data could include, number of breakers, feeder names,
pump names, network addresses of SIUs and IEDs, etc. The information
in the spreadsheet would then be used by an Excel Macro using VBA to
configure the PCMS systems using existing breaker and sub-station
templates. Any modifications to the system shall be logged and shall be
subject to the permissions of the security system. The software shall be
user-intuitive with menu-driven graphic screens with the following
features:
a.
The one-line for substations shall not be overcrowded with too
many device parameters, but shall utilize standard meters or
metering parameters with pop-up metering displays for more
detailed information. These meters shall provide all information
for all types of field devices, but retain the same “look and feel”
from device to device. For example, the phase currents shall
always be in the top left hand corner of the window, while the
power factor and frequency shall be on the right side of the
window. A button to remove the pop-up shall be provided, the
pop-up window shall be movable, and multiple pop-up display
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 18 of 6
windows can be used on the same screen, allowing the user to
move between them for full comparison viewing. In addition,
there will be a real-time graphic trend parameter button on the
detail information pop-up windows.
9.2.3
b.
The system shall provide a predefined set of real-time trend plots
for immediate user viewing of these parameters. For example, the
four phase currents are predefined as a pop-up real-time trend plot
with a single user stroke.
c.
All one-line screens shall display the current and device status at
all times in clear understandable indication plus color, with pop-up
windows for more detailed parameters as energy. All pop-up shall
have the device identification, device status, current time and date.
Any alarms shall be shown on all screens (in a header on each
screen) and a direct “go to” the alarm shall be provided from the
alarm acknowledgement screen. The parameters of a device alarm
shall be available to the operator within two operator strokes.
d.
The status information on the one-line screens and alarms screens
shall indicate the device status: OPEN, CLOSED, TRIPPED, and
COMMUNICATIONS status. The alarm screens show the reason
for the alarm, type of alarm, who acknowledged the alarm or if the
alarm has not been acknowledged. Addition information may be
added or deleted from the alarm report pages by the user or
customized by system integrator.
Connectivity / Historian Highlights
Software shall include PCMS-to-Enterprise connectivity including a inbuilt data historian for PCMS events (including alarms) and historical
(trend) data including, but not limited to, reports, user operations, any
event. The software connectivity and historian facilities include:

Automation interface) –authentication secured
Annotate history (operator comments) – requires security privilege
Historic databases are replicated in real-time between PRS EE Main,
Standby and Performance servers.
Where a Performance server is used as an Historian server, the
historic and event journal records can be kept online for longer
periods than the Main / Standby servers.
Open system interfaces provided to all databases:
○
ODBC interface to Real-time database, Event Journal and
Historic database
o
OPC-AE interface to Alarm and Event Journal
o
OPC-HDA interface to Historic database
o
OLE-DA and OPC-XML-DA provider license for 3rd party
OPC clients
Pre-defined and User definable “Historic Views” providing preprocessed virtual database tables simplifying external data access and
reducing storage of raw and derived data
As detailed above, the PMCS software natively provides the user
interface for Historian data access. Historian data shall be accessed
through full function PMCS viewer (Display Client) or Web Client.
Configuration of the historian shall be part of the standard PMCS
configuration.
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 20 of 6
9.2.4
Reports
The system Integrated-reporting engine shall use Crystal Reports
providing:
Automated server-side generation of reports based on event
triggers, repetitive schedules, ad-hoc user or programmatic
triggers, logic (IEC61131-3)
Parameter passing to generic reports – e.g. user can run a standard
report for data months or years old
Export of report data to HTML (web), PDF, CSV, Excel, Word,
ODBC, Text, XML, etc.
Export generated report format to server, workstation disk, e-mail,
etc.
Crystal Reports Run-Time shall be used as the system server’s report
generator and shall be bundled with each system server installation.
Users can generate, export and print pre-configured reports, including
passing parameters to reports, as a native system function. Crystal Reports
does not have to be installed on the user’s workstation.
Workstations that create ad-hoc reports using Crystal Reports, or modify
system server reports require a licensed installation of Crystal Report
Professional Developer.
9.2.4.1 Data Export Tool
The PMCS shall have a Data Export Tool that exports Historical data.
The Data Export Tool shall use Configurable Historic Views to Excel or
Comma Separated files (CVS); an External Database like MS-SQL
Server, via ODBC-DSN, and a Data Table.
The Data Tool allows the use of up to two (2) sorting fields and allows the
use of wildcards to select points in the database.
For example, Select data where:
Full name of field is Like %KW% AND Like %Substation%
This would get data from all points that had a name like KW and are in
any substation. You might want the Maximum Hourly KW for each
feeder in your system.
The Data Export Tool shall export the data using a Historical view that is
configurable by the user. The Historical view determines what you want
to export. A few examples are Hourly Average for a day, Daily
Maximum for a month, or 5-minute averages for 30 days. This allows
PMCS to export data that is formatted the way the customer needs it.
Real world examples would be 1-hour KW averages over the month, or
24 hour KW Hour Usage per feeder, or Hourly KW Maximum per feeder.
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 21 of 6
Exports shall be easily schedule using a Schedule Object or can be
manually exported on an Ad Hoc basis.
Examples would be to export last months Hourly KW Usage per feeder
for all feeders on the 1st of every month at 8:00 AM to an Excel File
named KW Usage %Month% %Year%.xls
There is no code required or the need to know Standard Query Language
(SQL) to export data.
9.2.5
Redundancy (Optional at a later date by end-user)
The PCMS system shall natively support redundancy and shall not require
any coding or third party applications (Mirrored). The PCMS servers
shall provide server level redundancy. All Real-time data, Historical data,
Alarm data, Event data, and configuration databases shall be duplicated
automatically on Standby servers. The PCMS system redundancy shall
have the capability to provide Quad level server redundancy and Five (5)
level when Performance Server(s) is added.. Performance Servers shall
also have the ability to be ‘read-only’ so that they offer higher level of
security when installed outside corporate firewall (Demilitarized Zone).
The server processes shall be in constant communication via TCP/IP
links. Each database to database transaction between servers shall be
monitored with both Main and Standby nodes monitoring availability of
the ‘Partner’ nodes. This checking shall detect the loss of the partner
server process, as well as potential communication path loss. In addition
to failure detection through failure of database transaction
communications, the Partner node server processes shall utilize low level
ICMP communications for faster detection of loss of a partner node. To
retain database integrity during a changeover, the database shall be locked
during the period a Standby is transitioning to Main, but the typical
duration of a failover should only take less than a couple seconds.
PCMS Display Clients shall be configured with active connections to
Main and Standby servers. A failover of any system to a standby node
shall result in the Display Client transparently switching its connection to
the active server. All mimics, alarms, trends, lists and/or reports on a
user’s display shall be updated from the new server connection following
re-establishment by the display client. The transition by the client shall be
transparent to the user.
PCMS Web clients do not need to provide this functionality, but shall be
manually re-connected to the standby server.
9.2.6
Performance
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 22 of 6
The System historian performance shall be optimized for time-series data.
It shall present a standard relational ODBC/SQL open interface, with
excellent performance compared with generic databases, such as Oracle,
SQL-server, etc.
A system configuration database, on a 32-bit Windows® desktop
platforms with 4 GB memory, will typically handle 100,000 configuration
database objects and larger systems (500,000) can utilize 64-bit windows.
History can be enabled on any number of points within the database. The
System historic databases shall be sized in the order of billions of records
for projects utilizing large server-class installations with Storage Area
Networks (SANs).
Enhance system performance using “Performance Server” or “Proxy
Server” architecture. A performance server has mirror-image copies of
the operational system server databases including the configuration, realtime, historic and event journal databases. Performance server databases
are kept up to date, in real-time, from the Main server. Historic, or other
access to the Performance Server does not impact the operational (e.g.
Main / Standby) servers.
The system shall be a distributed architecture that shall be optimized for
data access across wide area networks (WAN). The system shall combine
a number of advanced techniques including data compression; caching
and exception reported data, to provide high performance across medium
to slow links. This permit Display Clients to each connect to multiple
remote systems. Data shall be presented to the Display Client as a single
system, combining alarms, permitting trends with curves from multiple
systems, combined system data on the same mimic, etc.
Configuration and maintenance of distributed systems shall be centralized
through common client interfaces, in the same way.
9.2.7
Disaster Recovery
The system shall natively support Main / Standby configurations as
described above. Triple standby shall also be available for the system.
Each system server node database is a mirror image of the system Main
server with respect of Configuration Data, real-time PMCS data and
historic data. It is typical to locate Main and Standby system server nodes
at physically separated locations, e.g. Main Control Center + Disaster
Recovery Center. The system designs shall be based around this
architecture.
As described above, system historian supports the capability to archive
data from the system event journal and historic database on to external
media.
Typical system installations include removable disk media (e.g. DVD,
USB drive) and backup media (e.g. Large Hard Drive, USB portable Hard
Drive, and Tape Backup). The removable disk media is typically used for
historic and event journal archive. The backup media is typically used for
disaster recovery storage. The system configuration, real time, historic
and event journal databases shall be copied to backup media, online,
simplifying disaster recovery procedures.
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 23 of 6
The system vendor shall provide disaster recovery procedures as part of
system installation. The system software shall contain all product
features. For disaster recovery scenarios requiring complete system
rebuild, system software shall be readily installed from CD-ROM that
utilizes standard Windows® operating system facilities. The system
databases shall be readily restored from backup media. No other special
installation procedures are required.
9.2.8
Data via SMS and E-mail
Delivery of data (including alarm information) via SMS (also referred to
as Text Messaging) shall be a standard part of system paging
functionality. E-mail for alarm data is closely related to paging, being
another “Alarm Redirection” feature. The system shall natively support
connection to an e-mail server for delivery of alarm data. E-mail content
is user configurable, including information from within the system
database. E-mail may simply contain text. It may also include a Web
hyperlink to take the user directly to a Web Browser alarm view mimic.
Using Microsoft embedded HTML technology; the e-mail can also
contain a live (updating) mimic picture without requiring the user to start
a web browser to display the mimic.
SMS Command Processor - The existing pager driver shall be extended to
support incoming SMS messages so that users can send commands to the
PMCS server to acknowledge alarms, run reports, request status
information, run machines, and much more.
Some common examples are listed below:
Acknowledging alarms
Changing alarm setpoints
Requesting a status report
Triggering a report to be emailed to a Blackberry
This facility permits validated users to interact with the PMCS system,
without needing to setup and connect using a Display or Web Client.
Simple commands can be issued using a mobile phone from anywhere
and anytime.
Report data can also be sent via SMS and e-mail. Using the ad-hoc free
format text paging, described above, the system logic can form up
messages and send to nominated pagers. E-mail of report data shall be
tightly integrated with the system reporting mechanism via Seagate
Crystal Reports. This allows a report, including graphical information, to
be generated and exported to a user via e-mail. For example, e-mail a
work order.
9.2.9
System Security
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 24 of 6
The PMCS system must provide state-of-the-art security technology at all
levels of operation to create a safe and secure PMCS infrastructure. The
PMCS system security must prevent system compromise from both
internal and external sources. The security functionality shall prevent
external attempts at system infiltration while simultaneously allowing
controlled access to numerous legitimate users. Security shall be
configured at the object level and be based on user-access profiles and
object permissions. Security shall apply to all clients in the system.
The PMCS shall lock out non-authorized system access while controlling
password-based access for legitimate users. Engineers, for example, can
have full development and control access while process operators have
limited access based on their responsibilities. Security shall be configured
at an object level during development, where permissions are applied to
discrete system points. Users or user groups shall be assigned passwordprotection levels of access for specific features including, configuration,
operation, alarms, and database navigation. Security levels shall be
configured on an individual basis or grouped together to share common
configuration parameters, thereby reducing setup time. The system shall
use password encryption, aging, dictionary and inactivity logout.
Additionally, all database objects shall be assigned permissions based
upon pre-configured users and user-groups. Permissions, which include
read and write capabilities, alarm and history control, configuration,
security and system administration, shall be automatically carried over
when an object is copied or included in a template instance, thus further
reducing overall system setup time. The system shall have the ability to
apply security configuration across the database. Permissions shall be
able to be allocated at the parent level where they are inherited by lower
level objects.
The PMCS system shall provide an audit-trail by providing an event
journal containing a user field entry for every record. This shall provide a
comprehensive index of time stamped actions, controls, alarms and events
including changes to security settings. This will allow administrators the
ability to closely monitor activity relating to specific data points or
changes that have occurred to security privileges. Specific events shall be
able to be extracted from the database using an integrated SQL filter tool.
The SQL Filter tool shall be used to easily create customized reports or to
view the results in the clients using only a mouse-click function.
The PMCS system shall apply security across all interfaces including
Display Clients, Web Clients, OLE Automation interface, ODBC and
third party OPC connections. For links using internet networks, Secure
Sockets Layers (SSL), Private Keys, and Certificates shall be used to
ensure such security.
9.2.10 Data Acquisition
The PMCS system shall use an industry standard protocol, such as DNP3,
which provides time-stamped, quality verification for all data, supports
Report-by-Exception class polling (RBE polls the SIU [System
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 25 of 6
Information Unit] that only reports the changes or events in each class
since the last poll), and Unsolicited Response data from SIUs (SIU sends
a data to the master station without being polled by the master). The
protocol shall have the capability to recover from data collisions caused
by unsolicited communications by SIUs. The protocol shall backfill the
historian on a reconnection of communications after a communications
loss.
The PMCS system shall provide a flexible scanning engine where
individual SIU scanning configurations are made through ‘fill-in-theblanks” forms. Each SIU object shall support an individually adjustable
scanning rate for integrity poll, as well as individual scanning rates for
Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 event polls (RBE polls). Integrity and event
poll scanning rates for each SIU shall also be time-aligned with adjustable
offset.
E.G. SIU1 polls every 60 seconds, 10 seconds after the top of the
minute, SIU2 polls every 60 seconds, 15 seconds after the top of the
minute, etc.
SIU scanning shall support specific event object groups with binary,
analog and counter event group scans being individually selectable for
each SIU. Scan rates for these event group polls shall be selectable from
1 of 8 scan rates common to all SIUs on a channel. Scanning shall be
supported for point static data groups. Within each SIU, points can be
selected for a concurrent scan. The rate of which are selectable from 1 of
the 8 scan rates on the channel. All scan rates described above shall be
standard configuration fields for the SIU or channel objects in the PMCS
database. All shall be adjustable in the range milliseconds to weeks. Scan
rates for multiple SIU shall be able, for convenience, summarized and
managed through the user’s creation of a mimic display, or system list.
The PMCS system shall support both direct connection to SIUs via Serial
or Local Area Network, or remote connection via radio or PSTN or GSM
MODEMs. The PMCS system shall provide all of the functionality to
dial and manage MODEM dialing.
System Integration with SIU (RTU)
The PMCS system software shall be tightly integrated to the SIU
hardware used in the system. It shall have the ability to interface to the
SIU in a comprehensive and efficient manner. While the PMCS system is
running, the PMCS software shall be able to remotely communicate,
control, and configure the hardware. This shall allow an operator to
create and download hardware configurations from within PMCS
software. The PMCS software shall provide configuration export and
archival from within the system as well. This functionality allows
operators to configure a SIU and allow them to reuse that configuration by
downloading the configuration across the network to other SIUs. This
allows engineers and technicians to remotely work on the entire system
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 26 of 6
without being forced to constantly work in the field at widely dispersed
sites. To facilitate a totally integrated system and to lower the total cost of
configuration, maintenance, and commissioning of the PMCS system, it
shall specifically provide as a minimum the ability to do the following:
Configure the SIUs while the system is running
Automatically distribute configuration changes across the entire
system
Upload and download SIU configuration files
Version control of software within SIUs
SIU clock synchronization with the servers
Remote diagnostics
Remote restart
9.2.11 Open Standards
The PMCS Software shall be based on industry-standard open interfaces,
protocols, and efficiently interface with third-party software and hardware
to provide seamless data exchange over a wide variety of communication
links. Flexibility shall be built into the software making it easily scale
from a single computer to a large installation of dedicated servers and
dispersed clients. The software shall be client/server architecture with
separate server and client components. The software shall have built-in
system redundancy and data-backfilling features to assure the highest
degree of data reliability. Redundancy shall be accomplished without
custom code development.
9.2.12 Scalability
The systems shall be scalable meeting current requirements. It shall be
easily scaled to meet future demands. The PMCS system shall be capable

configuration. The web client shall be implemented using
Microsoft Internet Explorer or equal. The system shall
have a built-in Web server component that does not require
Microsoft IIS web server.
Support remote management of servers whether the system
consists of a single Server or a group of many "clustered"
Servers that are distributed over a wide area network.
OPTIONAL: WebView capacity shall be available.
WebView©
WebView is a client that was developed specifically for applications that
require a large number of users to access real-time and historical data.
Users view the current values of data in a tabular format (not graphical)
and Historical Trend data in a chart format from any web browser.
Adding the WebView web server option to a Power RICH System©Enterprise Edition allows any number of users to have access if they
have Read privileges in the system.
If additional devices are added to the Power RICH System©-Enterprise
Edition database, they are automatically updated and displayed in
WebView. Simple configuration fields determine what data is viewable
and how the data is presented. The format is easily changed by a system
administrator.
All analog values are presented with Point Name, formatted value, and
units. Digital Points display the Current State Description (Closed,
Tripped, etc). Any point that has History turned on will have a Trend
Icon that allows access to historic trend data via a charting tool. Users
can select the trend time and scaling.
When the users go to the Website, they are presented with a Log On
screen (See below). Then the users are presented with webpage that lists
the Devices / Sites they have security to Read. Devices shown in a Tree
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 28 of 6
view and when the user clicks on a device, the database is queried for that
device’s current values. The values can be refreshed by clicking the
Refresh Button in the Browser.
Trend data is accessed by simply clicking on the trend icon next to the
values. A larger trend icon allows the user to look at a trend chart with all
of the values in the group (See Trends below). The user can look at Raw
Historic data (all samples in the Historian) or they can look at Historical
Views, such as 1 hour averages or 24 hours Maximum values.
WebView uses Microsoft IIS web server that supports SSL and
encryption on the web server. WebView does not require Web
Server License.

Server Improvements
Improved Historian Scalability
1. Improved start-up performance of the historian:
a. Historic data – up to 97% reduction in start-up times from CS 2010 R3.
b. Event journal – up to 94% reduction in start-up times from CS 2010 R3.
2. Reduced the memory required by the historian when storing data online for long
periods, through a new granule index:
a. Historic data – up to 90% reduction in memory usage from CS 2010 R3.
3. Improved performance of loaded granule cache.
Together these improvements considerably increase the scalability of the historian allowing
much more historic data to be kept online for a much longer period of time.
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 34 of 6
These improvements have been driven by a large system which has a capacity for 250,000
points each storing 25 years’ worth of historic data (on permanent standby servers). This
equates to 326 million granules containing 219 billion records using 7.8TB of disk space.
Integrated Server Backup
A new database Backup object has been added to Power RICH System-Enterprise Edition.
This enables the user to perform the Backup of the database automatically (e.g. using a
Schedule) or manually using a method on the object.
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 35 of 6
The new ‘Integrated Server Database Backup’ task:




Suspends all database flushing on initiation
Confirms database flushing has stopped before proceeding with the backup
Replicates the database files to the backup location
Re-enables database flushing
Additionally, the backup task also logs an event on initiation and completion. The completion
event includes statistics on the number of files copied and the total size of data copied.
Whilst the backup is in progress, the database will continue to operate; processing values,
storing updates in memory and synchronizing updates to the standby. When the backup is
complete all updates are flushed to disk with the standard database flush algorithms.
The backup task copies the following files:
 Database: Metadata, Structure, Configuration and Data
 Historic Data
 Event Journal Data
 Configuration Change Data
Backup of historically stored records includes a configurable time range to allow the amount
of historic backed up to be tuned to control both the backup size and execution to be kept
within sensible limits on systems with large quantities of historic data.
Driver Developments
Dynacard Data Export Tool
The Dynacard Data Export Tool enables the user to export Dynacard data from Power
RICH System-Enterprise Edition. This data can then be imported into other systems such as
XSPOC. This would allow those systems to perform additional analysis on the data.
SQL tables have been added to allow Dynacard data to be queried via ODBC, allowing
external tools to directly read and process the Dynacard data stored within Power RICH
System-Enterprise Edition
Schneider Electric Rod Pump Controller driver
The Schneider Electric Rod Pump Controller is similar to the Lufkin SAMS controller and is
used for monitoring rod pump wells. The Schneider Electric Rod Pump Controller uses
Modbus as its core protocol and has been developed as an extension to the Advanced
Modbus driver in Power RICH System-Enterprise Edition.
The Power RICH System-Enterprise Edition driver will target the Schneider Electric
RPC v2.0 controller.
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 36 of 6
Support for SCADAPack E IEC61131-3 Target 5
Support for IEC61131-3 Target 5 has been added to the SCADAPack E RTU. The Target 5
file format is different to that of the previously supported Target 3 format.
Power RICH System-Enterprise Edition currently supports downloading configuration to
SCADAPack E RTUs including the compiled Target 3 files. The files are attached to the
SCADAPack E outstation object in Power RICH System-Enterprise Edition via the
‘Configuration Setup’ dialog. This dialog also enables the user to view the description and
version information of the compiled file.
The existing support for Target 3 files in Power RICH System-Enterprise Edition has been
extended to include Target 5 files. Additionally a new configuration field has been added to
the SCADAPack E outstation object to allow the user to select which version of IEC61131-3
Target is running in the outstation. The setting of this field is downloaded to the outstation
that supports the newer Target version to configure which version they should use and
control the type of files which can be added through the ‘Configuration Setup’ dialog.
User Interface
Trending Improvements
The following improvements have been introduced to the trend subsystem in Power RICH
System-Enterprise Edition:



Improved trend default settings
Y-Axis in trends have been made unambiguous
Improved display aesthetics to enhance user experience
Trend Default Settings for Traces
The existing Tools > Options dialog has been extended to allow a full set of defaults to be
specified for each trace type (Current, Raw Historic and Processed Historic). To simplify
entering this configuration, a new property sheet incorporating a separate page for each
trace type has been designed.
Y-Axis Relationship to the Trace
Under some conditions, it is not easy to determine which Y-Axis relates to which trace
within a trend. This improvement to trends ensures that when a trace is selected on a trend, all
attributes relating to the trace is clearly visible.
When the user clicks on any trace in the Key Area of the trend, all the other traces on the
trend are faded out including attributes for other traces like markers, annotations, Y-Axes
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 37 of 6
and alarm limits. Only those attributes relating to the selected trace will be clearly visible on
the trend.
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes Page 38 of 6
Improved Display Aesthetics
Trends are highly configurable and most visual attributes can have a specific color defined by
the user in addition to the automatic trace color selection provided by Power RICH Power
RICH System-Enterprise Edition. Whilst the user is responsible for choosing most of these
colors, and by definition, is also responsible for any color conflicts, it is still possible for Power
RICH System-Enterprise Edition to add new traces using colors which are almost
impossible to discern against the trend background.
Hence, the automatic trace color selection behaviour has been extended to limit the chance of a
color conflict by ensuring that existing trace colors, along with the trend background color are
all taken into consideration when selecting the color for a newly added trace.
Improved Mimic Drawing Performance
The drawing performance for mimics has been improved by caching GDI+ brushes and
pens.
The re-drawing times on mimics containing lines and polylines has been markedly improved
(>75%) by the changes made (results obtained by comparing re-drawing times for mimics on
v72 and v73).
New and Improved Symbol Library
The Power RICH System-Enterprise Edition symbol library has been updated to include 51
new symbols for the TRSS range of products, including Accutech instruments, SCADAPack
controllers and Trio radios.
Power RICH System-Enterprise Edition Mobile
Power RICH System-Enterprise Edition Mobile is an Android TM based mobile client and
server system for Power RICH System-Enterprise Edition. It brings mobility to SCADA
operations, allowing technical staff and managers alike to obtain real time information on the
performance of the system, even while working in remote locations.
Communications between the Power RICH System-Enterprise Edition Mobile Server and the
Android TM phones uses SSL to ensure appropriate encryption is used on all transmitted
data. As the system has been designed from the ground up as a mobile platform, display
and data retrieval is achieved in seconds, even for complicated trends or large event journal
queries.
Users are notified of new alarm conditions relevant to their area of responsibility, and can
action those alarms using the built in alarm and event lists. The database browser provides
detailed status information related to any database object to allow more in depth problem
SCADA Expert Power RICH System-Enterprise 2013 R1 Release Notes
Page 39 of 6
diagnosis. Trends provide users with the ability to review historic data to make the right
operational decisions for the future and user favorites allow users to store the most commonly
used views on their phone for easy retrieval.
Users can get access to tabular data providing easy analysis and comparison. Overall
system Key Performance Indicators for management, production summaries, system water
flows, reservoir levels etc can all be easily added and made available to users as custom
queries.
Example Projects
Wastewater Starter Application Project
A new application example is included within the Example Projects to provide a foundation
for development of a real-world Wastewater Lift Station. This example leverages the close
integration of the SCADAPack E RTU objects and includes sample IEC 61131 logic for the
SCADAPack E RTU. The project also includes interfaces to other Schneider Electric
Equipment; such as, an Altivar 61/71 Drive, a PowerLogic PM1000 Energy Meter, and
Phaseo Power Supply modules.
In addition a new Design Guide has been included in the TRSS Resource Center under Power
RICH System-Enterprise Edition Release Version 2013 R1. This will provide practical
guidelines based on best practices for the successful design of larger Power RICH SystemEnterprise Edition deployments, focusing on server and client performance and efficient design
of the database and mimics. Strategies discussed in this document are demonstrated within
the above application example.
