Process Graphics Generator for a Zoomable Diagram Representing an Industrial Process Plant

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a program stored therein, which, when executed on a processor, instructs the processor to perform a method comprising:

• providing a topology diagram of at least a part of the industrial plant for interacting with components of the industrial plant, wherein the topology diagram comprises a plurality of objects, each of the plurality of objects representing a component of the industrial plant, and a plurality of connections, each of the plurality of connections representing a logical and/or a physical connection between at least two of the components;
• generating, for each zoom-level of the zoomable diagram, a zoomed diagram comprising a zoomed view of each one of the plurality of objects and the plurality of connections, wherein a zoomed view is generated by applying rules to each object, the rules including, for a zoomed diagram having a plurality of zoom-levels:
• from a first predefined zoom-level, collapse all objects of a plant-segment to one object and keep only connections that cross the plant-segment's border, and
• introduce a plant-segment related alarm measure as a function of all alarm statuses of the plurality of objects of the plant-segment;
• storing the zoomed diagram for each of the plurality of zoom-levels;
• and
• when interacting with the components of the industrial plant by utilizing the plurality of zoomable diagrams,
• determining, for each plant-segment, the plant-segment related alarm measure, and
• outputting the plant-segment related alarm measure for healing a cause of the alarm.
