Setting up navigation
An important part of the complete operator interface is the way
operators navigate through and interact with your project. RSView32
™
gives you the tools for linking displays and creating an overall project
structure that is easy for operators to use.
This chapter provides:
examples and ideas for creating a hierarchy of displays
examples of how users can move among displays
procedures for linking displays
Developing a hierarchy of displays
A display hierarchy is a series of displays that provide progressively
more detail as users move through them. A hierarchy should meet the
needs of the various users, including managers, supervisors, and
operators.
A hierarchy could include:
an initial graphic display that serves as a menu
an overview of the plant
a comprehensive display of each process being monitored
process–specific displays
management summary displays
trend displays of historical and real-time data
