Semantic zoom of graphical visualizations in industrial HMI systems

摘要

A system includes a processor configured to cause a display to display a graphical visualization of an industrial system, detect a user input corresponding to an area of the display, perform a semantic zoom of the area of the display, and to display a first level of information based on a first level of the semantic zoom. The first level of information includes a data that was not previously displayed on the area of the display. The processor is configured to perform a semantic zoom of a graphical visualization of a graphical device during the first level of the semantic zoom. The processor is configured to cause the display to transition to a concurrent display of the graphical device and a second level of information during a second level of the semantic zoom.

1. A system, comprising:
an industrial controller comprising processor configured to:
receive sensor signals from at least one hardware sensor;control a turbine system via a physical actuator based on the sensor signals;cause a display to display a graphical visualization of an industrial system;detect a user input corresponding to an area of the display;perform a semantic zoom of the area of the display;display a first level of information based on a first level of the semantic zoom, wherein the first level of information comprises a data that was not previously displayed on the area of the display;perform a semantic zoom of a graphical visualization of a graphical device during the first level of the semantic zoom upon detection of a first industrial controller event, wherein the first level of the semantic zoom comprises a first context;cause the display to transition to a concurrent display of the graphical device and a second level of information associated with the graphical device during a second level of the semantic zoom upon detection of a second industrial controller event, wherein the second level of information comprises a second data that was not previously displayed during the first level of the semantic zoom, wherein the second level of the semantic zoom comprises a second context different from the first context, and wherein the graphical device displayed during the first level of the semantic zoom comprises the same graphical device displayed during the second level of the semantic zoom; anddetect a second user input corresponding to a command to change an operating parameter of the graphical device after the display transitions to the second level of the semantic zoom, wherein the graphical device comprises a turbine graphics, a generator graphics, an industrial component graphics, or a combination thereof, and wherein changing the operating parameter comprises changing a pressure, a flow rate, a temperature, a speed, a vibration, or a combination thereof, associated with the graphical device.
