Abstract
A display device displays device information in a navigation tree, whose nodes are each assigned to apparatus parts, apparatuses and/or apparatus groups, such that the apparatus information with a node that is superordinate both to the node which is assigned to a source of the apparatus information, and to a currently selected node.
Claims16
A system, comprising:
- a display device;
- a non-transitory storage device adapted to store a navigation tree, the navigation tree including nodes that are interlinked by directional links, the directional links defining a hierarchical order structure that includes a plurality of nodes including a start node having no superordinate nodes, all nodes other than the start node having a superordinate node and being subordinate to the start node, the hierarchical order structure defining for each node an assigned navigation path that includes all superordinate nodes for the node and respective connecting links, each node being assigned an apparatus part, an apparatus, or an apparatus group of a plant which in each case transmits apparatus information;
- a selection device adapted to select a node displayed on the display device, the display device adapted to display a selected node of the navigation tree with an associated navigation path and the nodes directly subordinate to the node;
- and
- an information input adapted to receive apparatus information transmitted from the apparatus part, the apparatus, or the apparatus group;
- wherein the display device is adapted to identify a node assigned to apparatus information received, to ascertain and display an associated second navigation path for the identified node by recursively searching for each directly superordinate node between the identified node and the start node, to ascertain a node in the second navigation path to the identified node, which at the same time is also currently displayed on the display device, and to display the apparatus information with the ascertained node.
