User Interface Examples

[CountryBumpkin]

We are constantly trying to better our user interfaces and we have kinda run into a brick wall as far as where to go next and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in sharing any examples they may have. Here are a few screen shots of what we have.

We are using Niagara AX BTW

The construction unit reminds me of AT-AT in Star war.

Missing in the AT-AT description: "prone to tripping over harpoon cables" and "keep explosives away from underbelly as small charge will topple it"

Country- Where do you put your alarms? Do you do an energy page?
And, how do you link/display trends?

EDIT- Can we reduce the size of the AT-AT here? TIA.

On my alarms I just drag my console recipient to the px page and under work bench select alarm console, this is what the page looks like. On the trends I just drag the 2 points I want to show and select time plot.

I also have it set up to send email on alarm and 3 days a week we send out our histories, points report and list of our schedules through email.

Very nice. When you are in the office I'd like to make the 15 minute drive over to see some more if possible. Thanks.

That's cool, I didn't realize anyone on here was in my area.

Hi Country
I have found recently that adding a "system Dashboard" at the bottom of the screen this allows the user to see important information without having to navigate to a number of screens

also some things that we have added to added are
1. Popups for Plant that dosent require a complete px page of its own
2. Text files that can be used as Maintanence records
3. Alarm Console to be on a split pane on pages and being able to be dragged up from the bottom or top on a px page, similar to the notifications bar on the android phones

Hope this is helpfull along with some of the graphics attached [Chiller in construction still]

Thanks

I have heard of Prophet and J2, I have heard Prophet's price is outrageous! I am waiting on a call back from J2 to see if I can get a trial. robb1 I really like the dashboard.
