Operating and monitoring
- Examples of visualization objects
Analysis diagrams can be comprised of operating and monitoring objects as well as trend and recorder objects. Typical operating and monitoring objects are switches, signal lamps, analog displays, control objects etc. Each object can be individually adapted to a task. A trend object can be used in connection with operating and monitoring objects. In this way, applications can be generated which provide user-friendly analysis functions as well as traditional process visualization.
The user interface is easy to create. This is done by selecting visualization objects from a tool bar and placing them onto the user interface of the analysis diagram. These objects can be linked to the Message device's input/outputs. The objects can then have their sizes adapted and provided with a wide range of attributes.

Because the user interface is directly connected to the process via channels, it can be installed without having to activate a programming language. Integrated functions enable simple links to be made between the display diagrams. In this way, user guidance can be created using menus.
Visualization objects can be assigned to events making it possible to influence a process. For example, a digital output can be activated by a keystroke. The ProfiSignal Klicks module enables reports to be automatically generated or complex control procedures to be automated.
