IntroductionTo display a live Citect project in an Internet browser, you need to combine the content of the project pages and the current data these pages present using standard, Web-based communication protocols. To understand the communication architecture for the Vijeo Citect Web Client, it's easiest to consider the role each of the following components play in achieving this outcome:
Citect Web Server - Performs the server-side functionality of the system. It operates by accepting requests from the client, and providing a response to the client when the clients details are authenticated. It then directs a client to the graphical and functional content of a Vijeo Citect project and the location of the runtime servers. This information is stored on the Web Server when a Vijeo Citect project is configured as a 'deployment'. A Vijeo Citect Web Server can contain multiple deployments. Citect Runtime Servers (including the I/O Server, Alarm Server, Trends Server and Reports Server) - Monitor the physical production facility and contain the live variable tag data, alarms and trends that the Web Client will display. Web Client - provides the platform to merge a deployed project's pages and content with the raw data drawn from the runtime servers. Again, standard Web technologies are necessary, so the client uses Microsoft Internet Explorer.

1.
Architecture Web server (CitectSCADA web server + Microsoft IIS) Run time servers (IO and RAT servers)
The CitectSCADA Web Client allows the remote viewing and control of a live running CitectSCADA project through internet explorer. The three components required are:
Web client (Internet Explorer)Figure 1: CitectSCADA Communication Architecture
As we can see from the diagram, the WebServer acts as a Fileserver for project files, however the actual data is still received directly from the SCADA Servers, as per a normal Display Client.
-4-
In the following example, the WebServer and SCADA Servers are on the same PC, but this does not always have to be the case. Hence, in this example only two PCs will be required:
Server o Hosts the WebServer o Hosts SCADA Runtime Servers Client o A Display Client viewed via Internet Explorer Retrieves Project files from WebServer Receives Comms from SCADA Runtime Servers

Server Side ConfigurationThe main benefit of Citect SCADA WebClient is that the majority of the configuration is Server-Side. In most cases the Client PC does not require any configuration, as Internet Explorer will download the required program files when the WebClient is first run. However, in some corporate environments, some security settings are required to be modified on the client. All Client-Side settings are covered in a later section. This section deals with the Server-Side configuration.
2.
Software Requirements
There are only a few software requirements for installing and functioning of the Web Server component on a PC. It is required to setup Internet Information Sevices (IIS) on the machine designated to be used as a web server This section covers IIS setup for Windows 7 Windows Server 2008

Prepare SCADA Project for Deployment
We will be using the Example project in CitectSCADA 7.20 for demonstration of the web client. Make it the active project in Citect Explorer and then Compile the project (File >> Compile in the Project Editor). Then, from either the Project Editor or Citect Explorer, run Tools >> Computer Setup Wizard. Use the following settings:
- 32 -
If the content of the project incorporates any user created files, such as DBF, HTML or CSV files, you will need to manually place these into a special zip file called Misc.zip and store inside the CitectUser directory. Similarly, if a project contains any ActiveX objects, these will also need to be included in a zip file called ActiveX.zip. The example project comes with this already done. The example project already comes compiled with CitectSCADA V7.20, so there is no need to compile the project unless you have made changes to it. Otherwise, if you are using a different project a fresh compile is required before the next step. button] in Citect Explorer.
Next run Tools >> Web Deployment Preparation [or the

Depending on which user is being logged in, a web client home page similar to one of the below will be disaplyedUsername: WebAdminUser Password: citect
Username: WebControlUser
Password: citect
Username: WebViewOnlyUser
Password: citect
If you do not get these windows for each user, the setting up of user access rights from Section 3.3 has not been done correctly.
NOTE: IF you have Windows authentication enabled, you may be logged in automatically to the web server without being prompted for a username or password, please follow KB Q5957 for details on fixing this.

FAQHow do I set up my network so that both LAN and WAN PCs can access my CitectSCADA and CitectWeb Servers?
Please refer to the Document Running both LAN and WAN Citect Web Clients. Where are the downloaded project files located on the Web Client?
The project files are downloaded to the location specified by the following Windows Environment Variable: %TMP% Citect By default, on XP, %TMP% is equal to: Document and Local Settings Local Settings Temp By default, on Windows 7, %TMP% is equal to C:Users AppDataLocalTemp To get a fresh copy from the server simply delete this folder including its subfolders and contents. When you restart the web client, it will automatically re-download the project.
Can I connect through web client to a Citect server running in demo mode?
No, on the web client side the project pages can be viewed but the tag values will display #COMS. You will also get the following prompts, and IE will be unresponsive for several minutes, as the WebClient quits:
If you deploy whilst in demo mode this copies a copy of citect.ini file to the deployment folder on the server with the network settings disabled. If you then obtain a license dongle, you will need to re-run Citect Explorer computer setup and redeploy on the server PC. What are the software requirements? Web Client 1. Windows XP Pro SP2 or SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows Server 2008 SP2, Vista SP2, Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit supported for all mentioned OS) 2. Microsoft Internet Explorer (Version 6.0 or later)
Web Server 1. Windows XP Pro SP2 or SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows Server 2008 SP2, Vista SP2, Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit supported for all mentioned OS) 2. Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) (Version 5 or later) 3. Microsoft Internet Explorer (Version 6.0 or later) 4. NTFS file system
Note: The target drive for the Web Server software must use an NTFS file system, otherwise you wont have full access to the required Windows security settings - Folder Properties dialog will not have a Security tab. If you are currently using FAT32 system, ensure you convert the drive to NTFS before installation of the Web software.

Web Client Starting up with a noticeable delay
This issue could be related to the operating system checking for certificates against the Certificate revocation list with certifying Authority. To fix this, go to Internet Options and select the Advanced tab and uncheck the Check for publishers certificate revocation option as shown below
Why is CRL check needed in the first place ? Windows OS later than Win XP (VISTA, Windows 7) requires .NET DLLs to be signed. This signing normally means that at start-up, .NET checks to see if the Certificate has been revoked. This requires Internet access or access to the domain group CRL files. After 2 minutes the system continues running if the check cannot be done. Once the check is done, the default re-checks time is every 20 days. The reason why this problem is showing up is because your network settings are not allowing Windows to access the CRL.
- 43 -
TroubleshootingThe following trouble shooting issues are taken from the FAQ section (page 33 and onwards) of the Web Client user manual. This document contains only a subset of this but also include screenshots.
12.
Internet Explorer and WinXP Security
If the security settings are high within Internet Explorer on the client side PC you will need to add http:///Citect as a trusted web site. Open Internet Explorer then select the Tools >> Internet Options menu item. Select the Security tab.
Click on the Sites button. o o o Enter the http:///Citect address Deselect the Require server verification checkbox. Select the Add button.
Press Ok button.
Knowledgebase article Q3943 discusses the implication of Windows XP service pack 2 in terms of network security. Of particular importance are the firewall settings.

Software Protection Failure on a Web Client
One of the most common issues encountered on a web client is Software Protection Failure. There can be more than one cause for this error on a web client machine. Here are few known issue that may cause this problemLicense Availability: Web client license is available as a Web/ Internet Control Client and Web/ Internet View Only client license. A control client or a View Only client license will not work with a web client. So the first thing to check is the availability of a suitable license on your license dongle. This can be done by checking the key details via CiUsafe
A web client license (Control client or View Only client) must exist on the license dongle present at the IO server this client is connecting to. IO Server is responsible for providing a license to the web client, so it is not possible to to have a web client license on the client machine or the web server machine (if it is different to the IOserver machine).
Networking issues: Once we have confirmed that a web client license is available at the server, next step in fixing this issue is to check if we are able to connect with the IO server on the server port. To check our connectivity to the Io server port, we can use Telnet and open a connection to the server.
- 45 -
With Windows 7, Telnet client is disabled. To enable Telnet client, Go to control Panel Programs and Features Turn Windows features on or off and check Telnet Client option as shown below
Once done bring up the command prompt and open a Telnel session to the IO server by using the command syntax as Telnet For eg. If we are using the default server port and server is present at IP 10.176.17.78, this should look like Telnet 10.176.17.78 2082
- 46 -
If we are unable to initiate a telnet session to the IO server port an error similar to the one below is shown in the command prompt window
Project Configuration: On many occasions when a new project configuration is started, the Network Address field is set to Loop-Back adaptor (127.0.0.1). When this project is later on deployed on the web server and a web client is strated, it is then looking for an IO Server on server port 2082 at IP 127.0.0.1, which is the loop back address for the client machine. To fix this make sure that Network Address field reflects the IP address of the PC where the server would be running.

Page display and update issues
First step in fixing this issue would be to check if Fast Runtime Display in enabled. If Fast Runtime Display is disabled the graphics builder will not create .CTF files and the web preparation tool will not create graphics files for the project pages. Fast runtime display option can be enabled via : Citect Graphics builder Tools Options
This is further complicated if Fast Runtime Display is disabled after development of a page has begun (and the page saved). In this case a .CTF files exists but are not updated with the recent changes. The result in web clients displaying an older version of the graphics page. Here the problem is not with web client but web server not having the latest version of .CTF file.
- 48 -
This is the process flow of generating and propagating a .CTF file to web server and then web Client. This example is with the assumption that Fast Runtime display is enabled. On saving a page .CTG and .CTF files are generated in the project folder. An .RDB file for the page is then generated and saved in project folder at compile time. Keep note of the date/ time stamp on .CTF and .RDB files as it moves from Project Folder to Deploy folder.
On running the Web Deployment Prepration tool the .CTF and .RBD files are compressed and saved as .CGZ web deploy folder
- 49 -
When we run the web client and browse to the page (ProcessLine in this example), only at that time this page (as a .CTF file) is downloaded to the web client. To view contents of the Citect temporary folder, type in %tmp% in the run prompt hit Enter, browse to Citect folder and then to the project folder in there.

IIS Issues15. IIS v6.0 issuesThe following note applies if you are running IIS v6.x (included with Windows 2003 Server). If you start the Web Client and get the message Starting Citect Web Client failed: Can not initialise Citect system, and then the Web Client fails it is due to a MIME configuration problem. The initialisation files are not being recognised in Windows 2003 as registered file extensions. To correct this, you must add the correct MIME extension by doing the following: Run the IIS manager (Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Internet Information Services) Go to Web Sites Default Web Site CitectSCADA deploy
Choose properties from the folders right-click menu Go to HTTP Headers Mime Map and press the File Types button
On the File Types form press the New Type button.
- 51 -
Add the MIME type (File extension) .* and enter the Content type (MIME) as application/octectstream.
Select Ok
Select Ok and restart your web server and client.
- 52 -

Security (Not applicable for IIS v7 and above)
Enter http:///Citect into the url of an Internet Explorer Screen. If you get Page error 404 or 405 the application protection settings of IIS need to be changed. Open the IIS management console:
Right select the CitectSCADA virtual directory and select Properties. In the CitectSCADA virtual directory properties in screen below set the Application Protection to Low (IIS Process).

ASP.NET
The following is a Windows 2003 Server related issue. The Web Client deployment page may display incorrectly and the icons for Start Display Client, Delete Deployment and Edit Deployment are also missing. There are two problems that could be occurring here: On Windows 2003 Server, the default setting is to have all web locations except localhost as an untrusted site. a. Update the Trusted Sites settings as detailed in Chapter 9 Enable ASP for IIS6 on Windows 2003 Server. Follow these steps: a. Choose Control Panel >> Add Remove Programs >> Components b. In the Windows Components Wizard dialog box, select Application Server and select Details.
Make sure that ASP.NET is selected. Also, open Control Panel >> Administrator Services >> Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager On the local machine traverse to Web Sites Web Service Extensions and make sure that All Unknown ISAPI Extensions, Active Server Pages and ASP.NET v1.1.4322 items have the status of Allowed.

CAB File Download and Installation
After configuring the Citect web server as per Web Client quick start guide, during project deployment, errors are experienced downloading cab file. The address of the webserver as a trust site however the problem still persists. The Server and Clients both use Internet explorer 6 and all Internet Explorer security levels have been set to the lowest level. Windows firewall is also disabled. What can be the problem? Solution: Usually when this occurs, Citect is looking for Microsoft Installer that has been corrupted due to previous Windows update. In order to remedy this problem you can get the latest update from Microsoft. The problem of corrupted Microsoft Installer can be verified further by using Citect ver7.20. In Citect v7.20, you can install this CAB file manually to the client machine by double clicking the CAB file. If when installing the CAB file, Windows Installer error 1723 appears, you would then need to install the latest Microsoft Installer (iiscript.msi). This installer can be downloaded from the Microsoft website or can be obtained from your IT staff.
