68 Hierarchical Displays
3.2 Hierarchical Display Descriptions
The purpose of this section is to describe how the user can organize the hierarchy of process point dis-
plays, which are an enhancement of conventional panel instrument displays.
With the pre-formatted hierarchical displays available on the Micro-PWC, you can oversee a process or an
area of responsibility, as well as focus on a single point. The Micro-PWC display hierarchy ranges from a
Summary Display that presents the status of the points in 24 groups, to a single Point Display for detailed
examination and manipulation of process variables.
3.2.1 Plant Summary Display
A Summary Display provides an overview of 24 groups and is arranged in six rows of four blocks, each
representing a group (
Figure 3-1 ). A legend for the 24 groups is displayed at the top of the screen. There is
no restriction on the number of characters in the legend; however, the legend, which is centered, can
extend beyond both edges of the display if it is longer than 45 to 50 characters.
A pushbutton is located in each block on the Summary Display. The pushbutton contains the number of the
group represented by the block (1 through 24). The status of the group is indicated by the color of the
pushbutton and the text which appears to the right of the pushbutton. The most serious status which exists
within the group of points is the status which will be displayed. (
Table 3-1 lists status conditions in order of
decreasing severity, with the most serious condition at the top.)
Click one of the pushbuttons to display the Group Info window, which displays the status of each point in
the group and provides access to the Group Display or to individual Point Displays. Refer to the
Micro-PWC Operator’s Manual for a discussion of the Group Info window.
There are 1,000 Summary Displays available.
