CommunicationsCommunications• Power RICH System© is optimized for Wide Area RTU /

IED communication architectures.

• Advanced communication driver architecture supports:– Serial and TCP/IP communications– Serial connections via remote ports including network terminal

servers– Native PSTN dial-in and dial-out capability– Modem pool operation and management– Integrated network LAN / WAN operation for RTUs– PSTN backup for serial and network connected RTUs

• Native backfilling of time-stamped data into Power RICH System© History and Event Journal databases, and Alarm sub-systems

• Built-in communication statistics for channels and RTUs

• No programming (Code) required


Server LicensingServer Licensing

Servers are point based, ranging from small to large;

– 500, 1500, 5k, 25k, 50k+– Server includes integral ViewX license– Redundancy and standard drivers are included

• DNP3.0 Master & Slave, • IEC61870 101 & 104, • Modbus Master & Slave

– WEB Server is optional

– Points includes metadata depending on protocol• What is the difference between a Point and Tag?• A tag generally refers to a single I/O reference or register in

an external Device or RTU, whereas a point includes other property attributes like time-stamp, data quality flag, previous value, alarm limits etc


Client LicensingClient Licensing

ViewX -Full function Windows client. No point count limits!

• Used for Operator station and Development– Any ViewX client can be used for system development provided user

has security permissions• Alarm banner and audible alarms• All graphics are vector based - resizable to any windows resolution

– Vector graphic displays are small in file size compared to bitmap therefore high performance over WANs

• Support for multi-head displays (several monitors under Windows)• Single ViewX license connects to 64 Power RICH System servers

simultaneously ('clustering')- Zero administration client, no database or graphics to install

WebX - Zero configuration thin Web clien- No WEB Server to install or manage – it is built in the system- Full monitor and control capabilities as per security configuration- No development supported


Integrated Development EnvironmentIntegrated Development Environment

• Power RICH System uses a single "ViewX" used to configure and control the SCADA system. Providing both operators and engineers use the application to both control and monitor/configure based on security settings simultaneously

- Single point of configuration for whole system- On-line development - NO COMPILING or shutting down

• SCADA database is object oriented and this saves 75-90% development effort over traditional systems.

• Change in thinking, you start configuration by mimicking physical assets and operational areas rather than tags and displays.

• In example shown, we create folders and hierarchy based on customer's business. Folder colors show templates and instances


Object OrientedObject Oriented

• Common devices can be represented as a template, then 'instances' provide rapid deployment for system

• Any Power RICH System object can be included in a template, so this is much more than graphics and tags

• Templates can be nested ie. 'PumpStation' template can include 2 individual 'Pump' templates

• Changes to templates are automatically reflected in all instances. There is provision for object property override to allow individual settings i.e. alarm limits, or controller station address to be different per instance


Embedded ObjectsEmbedded Objects• Embedding objects is another time saving tool for rapid system

deployment.

• In Power RICH System you can embed graphics, trends, lists, html

pages and live video.


Data QualityData Quality• The Power RICH System server keeps an image of all the SCADA points in its real-time

database. It is important to understand what is included in a point object as this metadata is more than just a tag. Attributes such as value, data quality, alarm limits, over range indication, data time-stamp, previous values & point statistics are managed at the point level.


Vector GraphicsVector Graphics• Power RICH System native graphics are vector based, this provides scalable displays

without pixilation, typical 1/20 size of bitmap graphics, suitable for any windows resolution and performance over WAN links

• 800x600 for field laptop and 1680x1050 for control room - no modifying displays

• Pan & Zoom for map based displays and layer support for de-clutter

• Graphic displays are stored in Power RICH System server only, no maintenance on client workstations.

• Can import .DXF, .EMF and .SVG graphics formats

Control Room Multi-Head 21” Displays 2048 x 1536

Desktop Display 1280 x 1024

Field Laptop 800 x 600

Vector based Graphics are Scaled by Client


NavigationNavigation

• Power RICH System has several options available for navigation of project:

– 1. Create hyperlink (button) to open objects such as graphic pages, trends, alarms, lists and reports

– 2. Use the built-in database hierarchy to select objects

– 3. Use built-in context sensitive menu available on most objects i.e. ACK alarms, display events, view notes etc.

– 4. Create user configured menu that may be embedded on page template


Alarm ManagementAlarm Management• Alarms are configured as attributes on any point object

– This means you do not need to configure additional tags for alarms

• Alarm filtering, suppression and redirection are standard features & no code required

• Send Text Messages or Email based on Alarm conditions. Acknowledge alarms by replying to email

• Filter by device, folder, area, user, time range, severity level, state etc.

• Suppress for fixed, variable time or logic condition

• Up to 1000 severity levels

• Power RICH System has a standard alarm banner & built-in alarm page


Alarm RedirectionAlarm Redirection

• Alarm redirection supports business rules to ensure the right user(s) are alerted at the right time when critical events occur in the system.

• The trigger condition is generally an alarm; either individual, group or severity level, and if after a predefined time delay when the condition has not cleared or acknowledged, a notification will be sent to the user via email, pager or voice.

Trend - HistorianTrend - Historian

• Trend Types– Current Trend

• Available on any point and does not need to be preconfigured

– Raw Historic• Point is configured for archive and stored in Power

RICH System historian

– Processed Historic• Advanced analysis such as min, max and average

over user configured time range


Trend – Historian continuedTrend – Historian continued

• Trend Displays– Pre-Built

• Pre-built display available on any point without configuration


Trend – Historian continuedTrend – Historian continued• Trend Displays

– Trend Object• Trend that is pre-configured with pens, display options either

full page or embedded


Trend – Historian continuedTrend – Historian continued

• Trend Displays– Pre-Built

• Pre-built display available on any point without configuration

– Trend Object• Trend that is pre-configured with pens, display options either

full page or embedded

– Operator Store• This uses document store to allow operators to create ad-

hoc trends

– XY Plot• View 2 points against each other i.e. pressure vs flow for

pump curve


ReportsReports• Report templates are developed using industry

standard 'Crystal Reports'.• Report development and viewing is directly

embedded in the ViewX client.• Report templates and generated reports are

managed by Power RICH System Server• Inherent report redundancy, management of

historic Reports• Multiple report formats, multiple export targets.

Email, PDF, HTML, Excel, CSV, SQL Export.• Generate reports on schedules, ad-hoc,

automatically on exception


SecuritySecurity• Power RICH System security is granular down to object level• User management is through individual user accounts and groups• Security policy includes minimum password length, aging, dictionary

and inactivity logout. Full audit trail on all actions• Single sign on for clustered systems, all interfaces are secure: Web,

OPC, ODBC & OLE Automation


ExpansionExpansion• Object-based templates offer a significant time saving in configuration when

you need to expand your system. Simple drag and drop means that you replicate devices, groups or even entire sites within minutes.

• Adding additional Power RICH System Servers or Clients is simple, 'click in box' without any reconfiguration of the system

• Database expansion- full on-line configuration- increase points, upgrade server size if necessary

• Add server(s)- as mirrored server for complete system- as performance server for local users

• Add clients- ViewX for operators or additional development PC- WebX for remote access

• Add systems- ViewX can cluster to multiple servers without any configuration- server can be deployed as test system with drag and drop configuration


ManagementManagement• Power RICH System includes software tools to remotely

manage the Power RICH System

• For the customer project, ViewX can do all configuration remote from Server including across WAN.

• For Power RICH System Server setup and monitoring, two applications are available: Server Status and WebX client

• All access complies with preconfigured security permissions


ManagementManagement


DiagnosticsDiagnostics• Power RICH System has a number of built-in drivers to self monitor

critical areas:• 1. Exposes server status as OPC points

• 2. PRS-EE protocol drivers include statistics and 'live diagnostics' via telnet session

• 3. 'Performance Monitor' driver for accessing operating system components such as CPU memory, disk space, network traffic etc.

• 4. SNMP and ICMP drivers are integrated for monitoring network devices such as UPS, LAN switches and even 'pinging' ViewX clients.


Ad-hoc ReportingAd-hoc Reporting• PRS-EE includes an easy-to-use ad-hoc query tool to access all

internal database tables for analysis and reports.

• The resulting dataset is displayed as a list and this list is updated dynamically

• The list can be filtered (F7 key) and you can copy the underlying SQL query to an embedded list if you wish to view often
