USER INTERFACE AND METHOD FOR ELIMINATING FAULTS IN AN INDUSTRIAL INSTALLATION

摘要

Technical installation data are visually preprocessed in a targeted manner in a control room or on a tablet with a touchscreen in mobile use by presenting a priority matrix. For this purpose, the interference messages are sorted, for example, horizontally with descending priority from left to right and vertically according to the installation part and are output. This largely relieves an operator of analysis and prioritization of the interference messages. The operator can therefore identify, locate and eliminate the most important interference messages in a shorter time. The number of priorities and installation parts considered is flexible since the matrix can be scaled to a wide variety of installation types, installation sizes and processes. All technical installation data relevant to assessing the situation are combined in one view. A second display area with a logical view is used to provide an overview of the complete industrial installation.

主权项

1. A user interface comprising:
a data interface set up to receive fault messages which have each been assigned a priority from a plurality of priorities and an installation part from a plurality of installation parts of an industrial installation, wherein touch-sensitive display areas are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix, the plurality of priorities having been sorted in a first dimension of the matrix and the plurality of installation parts having been sorted in a second dimension of the matrix; a second display region which is arranged beside the touch-sensitive display areas and is set up to output a logical view of the industrial installation, and a computing unit which is programmed to:
to display the fault messages in the corresponding touch-sensitive display areas according to their priority and installation part,subdivide the logical view into the plurality of installation parts,display the fault messages in or beside the respective plurality of installation parts in the logical view, anddetect when one of the touch-sensitive display areas is touched, to select the respective priority, the respective installation part and the associated fault messages and to initiate user guidance in order to control the selected installation part for the purpose of processing the selected fault messages.
