Security and more security
Product code was recompiled using latest version of Visual Studio
(2010 not 2012) which provides a higher level of cyber security.
Compliance with SDL (Security Development Lifecycle – based upon
Microsoft’s best practices)
Significant investment in QA testing of security features
Pro-active program for incorporating and testing fixes related to field
discovered security bugs (for example SuiteLink common component)
Slide 5
Multi-Galaxy Security
Topology for Multi-Galaxy systems will require the use of Microsoft
Active Directory
This requirement provides for end-to-end security for all data secured
data exchange features of ArchestrA System Platform for the following
based upon Security Group restriction and object setting:
• Read
• Write
• Secured Write
• Verified Write
Additionally the Active Directory Security model is enforced when using
the IDE and its editors to browse the namespace of other paired Galaxies
Slide 6
From Field Device to Enterprise
ArchestrA System Platform 2012 R2 provides a comprehensive
automation system infrastructure for linking live data from the field for
supervisory control and monitoring tasks while simultaneously
providing integration with business systems.
Linking of live data from field devices is easy and straight-forward
utilizing the Wonderware branded DA Servers, associated DI Objects
and third party OPC-DA Servers.
Following is an update about Device Integration new stuff…

Release Dates for Device Integration
New Stuff
DASiDirect 3.0 February 2012
DASABCIP 4.1 SP3 (end October)
DASGESRTP 2.0 (end October)
FactorySuite Gateway 3.0 (end October)
Should we lock down at SuiteLink + DDE + OPC-DA 2.05?
Where is OPC-UA?
Slide 8
FSGateway installed as InTouch feature
Starting with InTouch 2012, FSGateway is being installed as an InTouch
Feature, in order to provide out-of-the-box OPC support and to make our
customers’ life easy.
In 2012 R2 we have addressed issues with FSGateway install,
and upgrades.
uninstall
ASP2012 R2 installs FSGateway version 3.0
Additionally, FSGateway will also be available as stand alone version in
the new Device Integration DVD as well as for download from WDN.
Installation of stand alone FSGateway takes ownership of the feature
away from InTouch, becoming visible in Add/Remove Programs.
Slide 9
FSGateway 3.0
Support RequestVT Syntax for explicit coercion (OPCLink replacement)
and incorporates latest security fixes
Slide 10
DASGESRTP 2.0
Support GE PACSystem RX3i and Symbolic Addressing and
incorporates latest security fixes
Now requires the new “DAServer” feature line
Slide 11
DAS RTC 3.0 SP4
For OEM/SI developers using DAS Toolkit
Slide 12
DASABCIP 4.1 SP3
Firmware 20 Support and rollup of security fixes included in new
service pack as a single install
Slide 13
Device Integration Updates – planned
for early to middle of calendar 2013
ModbusTCP
Support Ethernet-Serial bridge TSXETG100
SIMATIC-S7
Windows 7 Support and SIDirect Delta
DASABCIP 5.0
Firmware 21 Support, EN2TR and ETAP router modules support
Note: all updated* DA Servers from 2012 onward require new
“DAServer” feature line in the ArchestrA.lic license file
* DASABCIP 4.1 SP3 is a service pack – still requires “IOServer” license feature
Slide 14
ASB – New Technology, Not Just For
Data Acquisition
Key Problems Statements:
1. Integration of products/technologies across Invensys Operation
Management with ArchestrA System Platform cannot/should not be
achieved by creation of automation objects.
2. For many customers the practical size of a Galaxy is smaller than
the technical limits. The must be a mechanism for securely
connecting multiple Galaxies together into an integrated system.
3. There must be a mechanism to enable core technologies to be
developed once inside Invensys Operations Management and then
leveraged across multiple products.
Slide 15
ASB – New Technology, Not Just For
Data Acquisition (hint A&E)
IData - Richer data types, secure transport even over WAN
IBrowse – Extensible namespace browsing. Who needs aliasing?
(Next time)
IAuthenticate – Extensible secured token exchange for authority to
read/write + secured & verified
Deployed services with central redundant repository and hands free
discovery
(Future release of ArchestrA System Platform incorporates Alarm &
Events as Idata and secures access and acknowledgement of alarms
using Iauthenticate)

System Platform Multi-Galaxy Config
Multi-Galaxy configuration requires the
establishment of “Paired” Galaxies
There may be multiple “Pairs”
comprising a cluster of Galaxies
Each Galaxy must have “Enable Remote
Pairing” checked to participate in the
Multi-Galaxy communications and
object browsing
“Paired” Galaxies must be configured
for OS Group Security under Active
Directory
Slide 19
Key Concepts of ArchestrA Service Bus
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA): A set of contracts that
defines the interactions supported between software components
(examples: data exchange, security, alarming, eventing, time series
data storage, etc.).
Service Repository: The facility for centralized storage, retrieval and
deployment of ArchestrA Services and their configuration.
Service Configuration: An independent configuration tool that is used
to configure and deploy ArchestrA Services.
Global Discovery Service: A pair of machines that serve as the
global directory for the location of all services in a system.
Slide 20
Performance & high availability
Deploy platform without redeploying hosted objects
Prevents Active-Active redundant engine at restoration of failed partner
RDI with DIs or DDESuiteLink or OPC proxy properly deactivates
FSGateway or DAServer secondary data path
Hotfixes & CRs affecting performance have incorporated in R2
Device Integration products also thoroughly tested on high availability
test bench
Slide 21
Support for Redundant Historian
Specify only primary Historian node
(node name of secondary retrieved
from Historian)
Advanced settings drop expander
Enable Late Data behavior simplified
Two independent store and forward
repositories
Slide 22
SQL Express 2008 with SSMSE
Starting InTouch 2012, SQL Express has been installed with InTouch if
no SQL Server nor SQL Express is present. However, the version installed
does not have a management console.
This has caused issues and prevented users from performing basic tasks
such as tuning SQL Express performance, scheduling backups, etc.
With InTouch 2012 R2, the version installed is SQL Express 2008 with
SSMSE, which includes a management console.
Slide 23
.NET 4.0
The 2012 R2 release supports .NET 4.0
ASP 2012 R2 DVD media installs .NET 4.0 if it is not present
Word of caution:
• Certain .NET scripts may have to be validated.
• Same for 3rd party .NET controls.
Slide 24
SP1 and Hotfix rolled up into ASP 2012 R2
SP1 is part of R2
Hotfixes as of end of August 2012 rolled up into R2
Slide 25
Supported Operating Systems
ASP 2012 R2 does not permit mixing older products together on the
same computer with some exceptions (e.g. older DA Servers)
