In the release of the version, more than 50 different modifications were made in the MasterSCADA modules.

Users of versions 3.x can update their systems for free as part of the maintenance program.

2014: MasterSCADA 3.3

Master SCADA is an integrated system that allows both operator stations and lower level controllers to be programmed within one project. Therefore, version 3.3 pays a lot of attention to the development of technological programming tools. The ST language (IEC 61131-3 standard), which appeared in the previous Master SCADA release, is now provided with a developed programming process service. The new program editor provides syntactic text coloring, a convenient mechanism for navigating and displaying compilation errors. The system includes a powerful debugger that allows you to perform step-by-step debugging, set breakpoints, display status and change the values ​ ​ of variables.

This version of Master SCADA now allows real-time control of individual parts of the automation project depending on the current operating conditions of the system. This gives developers a powerful tool to increase the flexibility of the systems being developed. In addition, another convenience has been added that makes it easy to modify finished projects is the ability to replace OPC servers without rearranging their variables in the project.

The developers also paid a lot of attention to the development of technological information archiving tools. Thus, the Master SCADA archive server can now use not only MS SQL or Oracle, but also FireBird to store internal archives. As before, for any part of the project you can choose your own DBMS, the method and place of storing archives.

Version 3.3 of MasterSCADA is saturated with a large number of improvements and improvements in all product subsystems: in the graph, these are additional tools for easy navigation of the project. in trends - the ability to perform any actions and commands from the context menu of feathers, a new pen processing formula, automation of trend settings, in the report generator - the ability to test ready-made reports during development, new data processing features, new graphical primitives, support for new report save formats, but the main thing is the ability to set tables in reports as a whole, and not by compiling them from individual components.

Methodological support for users has become wider: the library has a section "Examples of scripts," which contains a rich palette of script templates, mainly for automating the development process and group processing of project elements, the process of mastering the most powerful capabilities of the report generator is facilitated - users are provided with a training project for study, which provides specific examples of implementation of the most common tasks.
