Proficy Change Manager - Features & Benefits
Description
- With increasing government regulations and awareness of security
requirements, change control is becoming critical in more industries.
Proficy Change Management allows you to keep your plant’s critical
files, programs and applications in a central, secure location—ensuring
easy accessibility and automatic tracking of changes and versions
of critical assets.
Benefits
- Increased Plant Uptime
- Improved Engineering Processes
- Reduced Engineering and Maintenance Costs
- Improved Safety, Security and Regulatory Requirements
- Protection of Key Information Assets
- Improved Product Quality
- Reduced Risk
Features
- Version Control ensures that only one person at
a time is making changes to the system and archives the versions once
those changes are made—providing the ability to revert to a
previous version.
- Security enables you to monitor and control who
has access to what function—reducing the number of errors that
occur due to unauthorized access. It also enables you to set up a
permission hierarchy by roles, which eliminates the need to establish
permissions for every employee.
- Audit Trails and Reports allow you to track what
has been happening with programs and devices in your plant, automatically
providing the “who, what, when, where and why” information
of events taking place throughout your operation.
- Automated Scheduling, Notification and Reporting allows
you to check the integrity of what is happening on a regularly scheduled
basis. It automatically reviews server files and compares them to
what is running, providing notification of any discrepancies through
regular automated reporting.
- Electronic Signatures enable you to gain additional
control over changes in your plant by allowing you to enforce authorization
to make changes to your devices and projects. This functionality can
help you meet regulations such as 21 CFR Part 11 or NERC and improve
your Good Manufacturing Practice.
- HTML Interface & Plant Layout allows you to
customize the end-user interface to match your plant’s needs.
This powerful point-and-click interface makes accessing projects and
devices as easy as surfing the net, helping simplify the interface
for your end users, thus reducing errors and the need for training.
- Extensive Product Support. Proficy Change Management
is pre-configured to support a variety of commonly used software and
devices in the industrial environment, including GE Intelligent Platforms, Rockwell,
Schneider, Siemens and many more. It can also manage any file type
such as documents, spreadsheets, drawings and more with our easy-to-use
Wizard for a complete plant or factory asset management system.
- Built Into GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy HMI/SCADA. Because
the client is built right into the CIMPLICITY
Workbench and the iFIX workspace, you can
now manage your HMI/SCADA application quickly and easily. Check out
picture files, screens files, or other components, compare versions

What's New in Proficy Change Management
Version 5.8?
New Web-Based End User Client
The new HTML-based client is a thin easy-to-deploy client with
a small footprint that will save you time and effort installing
or updating the clients. It also provides easy access to projects
on the Change Management server. The client provides access to
common end user functions such as check out, check in, open,
version reports, compare and more.

The new Drag and Drop configuration allows customers to easily
create a user interface to organize projects and provide customized
web pages if desired.
New Scheduler Interface and Engine
The Scheduler allows you to automate popular operations for
backup and compare functions, which provides the ability to ensure
the integrity of automation systems. The schedulers will read
PLCs and compare them to master versions on the server and reports
results, as well as make back ups of the changes. The new Scheduler
allows you to group events logically and works on a subscription
model, where the engines subscribe to the events created on the
server—allowing you to organize your events logically.
Schneider ProWORX 32 Support
Version 5.8 now supports ProWORX 32 projects. This new module
allows you to manage and control changes to your projects, providing
the standard version control, check out, check in, and auditing
of changes, as well as manual and scheduled comparisons between
versions or the PLC.
