*SmartCompare is not possible. Instead, a binary comparison is performed automatically. Uploads and corresponding disaster recovery can be performed in full.

The comparator for AVEVA System Platform can use additional address space for 64 BIT systems in order to process very large projects.

 

Please be aware that AVEVA was previously called Wonderware. For technical reasons, the original name is still in use in octoplant. There is now also the new component type AVEVA. Depending on which version you use, both component types can be used.
