2. ControlMaestro Network Capabilities

ControlMaestro’s network capabilities include high-performance Web for full remote functionality, as
well as built-in redundancy master-backup features for robust security.

Redundancy and Hot Backup

ControlMaestro includes hot backup capability as standard. This functionality consists of two
identical SCADA stations connected to the same PLCs and/or I/Os. One ControlMaestro station runs
in master mode and samples data while the other station remains in standby mode. If the master
fails, the backup station automatically takes over all functions including communication with PLCs.
Once the master recovers, the backup station stops sampling data and updates the historical files of
the master. In normal operation, both stations can be used as operator stations. Any ControlMaestro
model is able to run as a hot backup station, including runtime licenses. The only requirement is that
the application running in the master and backup stations should be one and the same (almost).
There is no extra cost for this valuable feature.

Elutions Web Portal (EWP) Service

The EWP Service is a wizard to configure the EWP Service. The interface allows to configure a
database and select data points in the list viewer and display automatically charts.

The latest web technologies have been used to increase the compatibility with a wild range of media
as HTML5, CSS, bootstrap… and to empower the search engine for reading all the information stored
in the database and can generate a trigger for each planning and task in Web Scheduler.

List Viewer and Event Viewer

The List Viewer is a new web application based completely on HTML 5 (works on all web browsers as
well as smartphones and tablets) that allows users to display historical and live Tags lists. The Tags
values can be modified from here and all information is displayed and controlled, such as Alarms and
BACnet Objects.

Web Clients (option)

ControlMaestro can accommodate several hundred Web user clients (JAVA based technology) to
enable remote access to ControlMaestro monitoring, visualization and control, as well as alarm and
shift management capabilities, through a standard Web browser, via the Internet.

Maestro Aditum (MI service connectable to CM2018)

Elutions’ Graphical User Interface for MaestroImperium is also available for ControlMaestro 2018 and
is capable of transitioning existing Java applet images into HTML5. As one of the core services of
MaestroImperium, Maestro Aditum automatically converts new and existing Java dependent images
created in ControlMaestro 2018 into HTML5 eliminating the critical Java security risks Microsoft and
other Mainstream Browsers no longer will support in 2020.
Compatible with different devices including tablets, Android, Smartphone, iPhone, etc., services for
mobile and touch platforms (with use of HTML5, SVG, XML, and .Net) are accessible to answer client
mobility needs. Maestro Aditum supports Responsive Web Design to adapt user interface, contents
and images on any screen size.
To evaluate the full benefits and capabilities of this high-value functionality free of charge,
