![]() ![]() It also depends on what your future plans are for this project. As far as i know, Schneider has decided to be the only distributor for CitectSCADA from now on (former distributors like Beijer aren't allowed to distribute the software anymore). At that point, i think you will need to talk to Schneider to see if your MX4 version can be upgraded to a standard CitectSCADA version. Unless MX4 is causing you problems, maybe you should start with what you have now (MX4)? Once you have a better understanding of Citect, you can then still decide to upgrade to a newer version of Citect (or another scada software). I was wondering though: is there any reason at this point why you would want to upgrade to a new version of Citect? You have everything you need for development. Mitsubishi (Europe) is now strongly linked with Adroit Technologies (it even has shares in the company) and is offering Maps, which is somewhat similar to what MX4 was with Citect (but now with the SCADA from Adroit). However, there seems to be a trend in the automation industry that each plc vendor now also has to have it's own SCADA. But it remains to be seen which way Citect is heading under Schneider (it was a real surprise to see Citect being acquired by Schneider). I'm not sure at all about this (other people on this forum with closer links to distributors will probably be able to confirm if this is true) but is MX4 still supported/abailable since Schneider bought Citect? I had the impression that Mitsubishi and Citect had a good relationship with good dedicated drivers for Mitsubishi plc's.
