1. Introduction
The Unity FastLinx product provides the ability to seamlessly integrate tag management between the Schneider Unity Pro tag configuration platform and the CitectSCADA tag configuration system. This allows for the management of tags to be performed from either the CitectSCADA system, Unity Pro or both with each side being maintained in a synchronised state. The Unity FastLinx product also allows the import and export of tags from the CitectSCADA system to Unity Pro or from Unity Pro to the CitectSCADA system. The native Unity .STU file format is supported as well as the .XEF and .XSY XML Unity XML file formats.

3. Configuring a Linked I/O Device

An I/O device may be linked either through the Express Wizard or via the I/O devices form. To configure the device via the Express Wizard go to the Express Wizard via the CitectSCADA Explorer Window.

Figure 1, Selecting Express Wizard via the CitectSCADA Explorer window.

Click on and the Express Wizard will be invoked. Alternatively the Express Wizard can be invoked via the CitectSCADA Editor Window through the Communication drop down box.

Figure 2, Selecting Express Wizard via the CitectSCADA Editor Window The following welcome screen for the Express Wizard will be displayed.

4. Synchronisation Rules
4.1 OPC Protocol Specific
The following is the behaviour for synchronisation when using the CitectSCADA OPC protocol driver based tags. With this protocol the CitectSCADA tag address is the Unity Tag name. The CitectSCADA tag name is purely an alias for the CitectSCADA project and does not need to match the Unity tag name. Tag names in CitectSCADA and Unity must be unique. Where there are duplicate address values in CitectSCADA these tag variables will be excluded from the synchronization process. The duplicate tag variables will be clearly set out in the transaction log. The duplicate tag variables will therefore be left in CitectSCADA, maintaining the same information prior to synchronization. Any changes to the Schneider tag variable will not be applied to the duplicate tag variables, and will not be maintained.

4.1.1 Creating a new tag in Unity Pro

A new tag created in Unity Pro will subsequently be created in CitectSCADA. The Unity Pro tag address will not be accessible from CitectSCADA. The Unity Pro tag name will be the CitectSCADA tag address and used as the suggested initial.

4.1.18 Array Support

Arrays are supported for all types except for DT tags and STRING/STRING[x] tags. Arrays in CitectSCADA are denoted by a suffix of !A[x], where x is the dimension of the arrays. Only zero based arrays are supported. For example Unity Tag : Fred %MW4 ARRAY [0..9] OF LONG CitectSCADA Tag : FredTag Fred!A[10] LONG CitectSCADA arrays are limited to no more than 256 bytes of data, ie 32 bit types 16 bit types 8 bit types 1 bit types have a maximum of 64 elements, have a maximum of 128 elements, have a maximum of 256 elements, have a maximum of 2048 elements

The following is the behaviour for synchronisation when using CitectSCADA Unite, Modnet, Modbus and MBPlus protocol driver based tags. With these protocols the CitectSCADA tag name is the Unity Tag name. Tag names in CitectSCADA and Unity must be unique. The FastLinx Framework prefix feature can be used to assist in keeping tag names unique.
