15.2 - ARCHITECTURES
The typical architectures are as follows:
• Standalone - All SCADA functions are incorporated into a single station
• Multi-station architecture - The SCADA functions span across two or more stations in a client/server
14.2 - 21 CFR PART 11 FEATURES architecture
• Individual electronic signature for each user • High availability architecture - The SCADA functions and roles are distributed to offer better resilience
• Option for double signature on sending commands and scalability.
• Each name/password combination is unique Multi-station deployment includes the following particular scenarios:
• Data acquisition redundancy - Two or more stations are configured as redundant (hot standby).
• Automatic logout either programmable or after a period of inactivity
• Historical data redundancy - Two or more stations are configured as redundant (hot standby).
• Locking after a number of unsuccessful attempts • Mutualized servers - One high_end server is used as the stand-by server for multiple others.
• Recording of failed attempts to log in, with option to notify the system administrator • Distributed architecture - Several independant servers feed many client stations
• Guarantee of integrity of historical data by CRC • Three-level architecture - Using one or more stations as a gateway
• Logging of previous value when a value is changed • Engineering station - dedicated to design and manage a project with version management
• Web & mobile - Web server and web-based mobile clients
