Abstract
A model that is stored in a memory is accessed. The model describes a visualization of information related to the operation of one or more industrial control machines or systems. Display information is received from the one or more industrial machines or systems. Context information is received from one or more sensors, or from user input. A display screen is graphically rendered at a graphical display unit to the one or more users. The content of the display screen is based upon the model, the display information, and the context.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- accessing a model that is stored in a memory, the model describing visualization of information related to the operation of one or more industrial control machines or systems;
- receiving display information from the one or more industrial machines or systems;
- receiving context information from one or more sensors, or from a user input;
- and
- dynamically rendering a display screen at a graphical display unit to the one or more users, a content of the display screen being based upon the model, the display information, and the context information.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory, the memory storing a model, the model describing visualization of information related to the operation of one or more industrial control machines or systems;
- a graphic display unit including a display screen;
- a processor with an input and an output, the processor being coupled to the memory and the display screen, the processor configured to receive display information from the one or more industrial machines or systems at the input, the processor configured to receive context information from one or more sensors or from a user at the input, the processor configured to via the output dynamically render a display at the display screen of the graphical display unit, a content of the display screen being based upon the model, the display information, and the context.
