Presenting process data of a process control object on a mobile terminal

A data presentation control arrangement for enabling a user of a process control system to obtain details of a process control object, wherein the process control system is a computerized process control system of an industrial plant for controlling an industrial process and comprises a plurality of process control objects, the data presentation control arrangement comprising:

• a guiding unit configured to receive an indication that a first process control object needs inspection and to guide the user carrying a mobile terminal to a predetermined area around the first process control object based on the indication;
• a positioning unit;
• and a presentation control unit,
• wherein when the user is in the predetermined area around the first process control object:
• the positioning unit is configured to:
• determine distances between the mobile terminal of the user and said process control objects in a predetermined area around the mobile terminal;
• and
• determine a primary process control object, which is the process control object that is closest to the mobile terminal in the predetermined area around the mobile terminal, and
• the presentation control unit is configured to:
• obtain process data of the primary process control object;
• and
• automatically present representations of said process control objects on a display of the mobile terminal, and
• wherein:
• the presentation of the representation of the primary process control object is emphasized compared with the presentation of the other process control objects,
• said process data is presented together with the corresponding representation at a center of the display of the mobile terminal and is highlighted, and includes extended detail information comprising at least one of a faceplate of the primary process control object or real time process data,
• the amount of process data being presented increases with decreasing distance between the mobile terminal and the primary process control object, and
• the data presentation control arrangement executed by a processor.

A computer program product for enabling a user of a process control system to obtain details of a process control object, wherein the process control system is a computerized process control system of an industrial plant for controlling an industrial process and comprises a plurality of process control objects, said computer program product being provided on a non-transitory data carrier comprising computer program code configured to cause a data presentation control arrangement to, when said computer program code is loaded into at least one device providing the data presentation control arrangement:

• guide the user carrying a mobile terminal to a predetermined area around a first process control object based on an indication of the first process control object needing inspection, and
• when in the predetermined area around the first process control object further:
• determine distances between a mobile terminal of the user and said process control objects in a predetermined area around the mobile terminal;
• determine a primary process control object, which is the process control object that is closest to the mobile terminal in the predetermined area around the mobile terminal;
• obtain process data of the primary process control object;
• and
• automatically present representations of said process control objects on a display of the mobile terminal,
• wherein:
• the presentation of the representation of the primary process control object is emphasized compared with the presentation of the other process control objects in the predetermined area around the mobile terminal, and said process data is presented together with the corresponding representation at a center of the display of the mobile terminal and is highlighted, and includes extended detail information comprising
• at least one of a faceplate of the primary process control object or real time process data, and the amount of process data being presented increases with decreasing distance between the mobile terminal and the primary process control object.
