Displays
This section describes how to determine your display requirements.
Issue Comments
System displays
Experion includes a comprehensive set of system displays, which display
information in a standardized manner.
Some system displays, such as groups and trends, require configuration.
Tabbed displays
Decide whether you want to enable tabbed displays in Station. With
tabbed displays operators can have multiple displays open. Tabbed dis-
plays in Station work in a similar way to tabbed displays in Microsoft Inter-
net Explorer.
Custom displays
Decide whether you want to create your own (custom) displays. Well
designed custom displays make it much easier for operators to interpret
system activity and to run your plant in an efficient manner.
Custom faceplates
If you have custom points, consider creating your own (custom) faceplates
to present point data in a manner that is easy for operators to understand.
Web pages and other
documents
Station can display Web pages and ActiveX documents, such as Microsoft
Word and Microsoft Excel documents. You can also embed Web pages
and ActiveX documents in custom displays.
Update rates You need to select an appropriate update rate for each Station.
System displays
The system displays that you can call up in Configuration Studio are used to configure items
such as reports, group displays, trends, alarm trackers, Station settings, Console Stations, and
so on.
The procedures for configuring these items are documented in the Station Configuration
Guide.
Tabbed displays
Tabbed displays are an optional server wide setting.
With tabbed displays, operators can call up displays in individual tabs within a Station
window. Whenever they call up a display, operators can choose to open it in an existing tab
or in a new tab.
An example of Station with tabbed displays enabled.
