Before You Begin
StruxureWare SCADA Expert ClearSCADA is a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) solution. It comprises software that is used to control and monitor various devices, applications and processes on your system. Throughout the documentation, StruxureWare SCADA Expert ClearSCADA is referred to as ClearSCADA.
Due to ClearSCADA's central control and processing role, you must appropriately design, commission and thoroughly test your system’s configuration for proper operation before placing it in service. Any further configuration changes made online (once ClearSCADA is commissioned, tested, and in service) must be thoroughly tested before being used in an operational setting.
WARNING
UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
ClearSCADA is not suitable for controlling safety-critical systems and must not be used unilaterally to do so. ClearSCADA is not tested for, nor has any approval for use in, the control of safety-critical systems. Safety-critical systems should be controlled by an approved safety-critical platform that is installed independently of ClearSCADA.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
