Granular Display of a Loading State of Web-Based Elements of a Control System for a Technical Plant

A control system for a technical plant, comprising:

• an operator station server;
• and
• an operator station client,
• wherein the operator station server is configured to transmit, for operating and observation, a mimic diagram of the technical plant to the operator station client;
• wherein the plant mimic diagram comprises a plurality of diagram elements;
• wherein the operator station client is configured to visually display the plant mimic diagram with the plurality of diagram elements to an operator of the technical plant;
• wherein the control system includes a visualization service which is implemented on the operator station server for a first part and on the operator station client for a second part;
• wherein the visualization service is configured to ascertain information about an accumulated transmission status of the plurality of diagram elements from the operator station server to the operator station client and to visually display the ascertained information to the operator of the control system, wherein the accumulated transmission status representing a logical Boolean value.

A method for visually displaying a mimic diagram of a technical plant by a control system including an operator station server and an operator station client, the plant mimic diagram comprising a plurality of diagram elements, the method comprising:

• a) transmitting a mimic diagram of the technical plant from the operator station server to the operator station client, the plant mimic diagram comprising the plurality of diagram elements;
• b) ascertaining information about an accumulated transmission status of the plurality of diagram elements from the operator station server to the operator station during transmission of the plant mimic diagram with the plurality of diagram elements;
• c) visually displaying the plant mimic diagram with the plurality of diagram elements to an operator of the control system by the operator station client;
• and
• d) visually displaying the information about the accumulated transmission status of the plurality of diagram elements from the operator station server to the operator station client together with the visual display of the plant mimic diagram with the plurality of diagram elements, the accumulated transmission status representing a logical Boolean value.
