1. A method for displaying visual representations of a plurality of user interfaces, UIs, of a process control system, the plurality of UIs being displayed on an electronic visual display unit connectable to the process control system and being adapted to visually indicate relationship between a plurality of components included in a process controlled by the process control system, each component of the plurality of components being associated with at least one signal indicating an operational state of the component, the method comprising:
for each of the plurality of components:
retrieving, with a processing module, the at least one signal associated with the respective component; andgenerating, with the processing module, a visual indication representing the operational state of the component on basis of the at least one signal associated with the respective component, wherein at least one characteristic of the visual indication depends on the at least one signal associated with the respective component; generating, with the processing module, the visual representation of each of the plurality of UIs on basis of the visual indications; and displaying the visual representation of each of the plurality of UIs on the display unit such that the relationship between the visual indications in the visual representation of each of the plurality of UIs as displayed on the display unit corresponds to the relationship between the plurality of components included in the process visually indicated by a corresponding UI as displayed on the display unit, wherein the visual representation of each UI is performed in such a way that the relative arrangement of the visual indications in the corresponding visual representation as displayed on the display unit corresponds to the relative arrangement of the components in the UI as displayed on the display unit. |
