Functionality Limitations of the Web Client Platform

Due to the architecture necessary to support Web-based execution of Citect SCADA projects, the Web Client does not offer the full functionality of a standard Citect SCADA system.

Consider the following lists to determine if this will be detrimental to the performance of your project. Some adjustments might be necessary.

Feature limitations

The following features are not supported:

• Cicode Debugger
• Remote shutdown
• Fuzzy Logic
• Kernel windows
• Keyboard shortcuts that clash with Internet Explorer's keyboard shortcuts
• Web Client is unable to act as a Citect SCADA Server
• Pages based on the default Menu Page template will only show buttons for pages previously visited
• The Page Select button on the default Normal template only lists pages previously visited.

Note: A web deployment can only use "fast display" graphics (.ctf files) for graphics pages. Fast display graphics are saved by Graphics Builder when the parameter [Animator]FastDisplay is set to 1 (the default value). If this parameter was set to 0 when your graphics pages were created, you will need to change it back to 1 and save the graphics pages you want deploy.
