Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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
Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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
Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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
Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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
Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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.
Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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.
Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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
Power RICH System EE Server
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
Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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
Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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
Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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.

and inactivity logout. Full audit trail on all actions• Single sign on for clustered systems, all interfaces are secure: Web,
OPC, ODBC & OLE Automation
Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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
Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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

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.
Power RICH System Enterprise Edition
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
