Abstract
A method includes displaying a plurality of windows in a graphical display. Each window corresponds to a representation of at least a portion of an industrial process system. The method also includes, responsive to a first window being in an active state, subscribing to first operational data associated with the process system. The method further includes, responsive to a second window being in an inactive state, unsubscribing from second operational data associated with the process system.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- initiating, by a processing device, display of a plurality of windows in a graphical display, each of the windows corresponding to a representation of at least a portion of an industrial process system;
- responsive to a first of the windows transitioning into an active state, subscribing, by the processing device, to first operational data of a plurality of operational data associated with the industrial process system to begin receiving real-time data related to measurements from a first sensor of a plurality of sensors of the industrial process system;
- and
- responsive to a second of the windows transitioning into an inactive state, unsubscribing, by the processing device, from second operational data of the plurality of operational data associated with the industrial process system to stop receiving real-time data related to measurements from a second sensor of the plurality of sensors of the industrial process system, wherein transitioning the second window into the inactive state reduces an amount of the plurality of operational data requested, by the processing device, from the plurality of sensors.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processing device configured to:
- generate a graphical display having a plurality of windows, wherein each window of the plurality of windows corresponds to a representation of at least a portion of an industrial process system;
- responsive to a first of the windows being in an active state, subscribe to first operational data of a plurality of operational data associated with the industrial process system to begin receiving real-time data related to measurements from a first sensor of a plurality of sensors of the industrial process system, and
- responsive to a second of the windows being in an inactive state, unsubscribe from second operational data of the plurality of operational data associated with the industrial process system to stop receiving real-time data related to measurements from a second sensor of the plurality of sensors of the industrial process system, wherein transitioning the second window into the inactive state reduces an amount of the plurality of operational data requested from the plurality of sensors.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to:
- generate a graphical display having a plurality of windows, wherein each window of the plurality of windows corresponds to a representation of at least a portion of an industrial process system;
- responsive to a first of the windows being in an active state, subscribe to first operational data of a plurality of operational data associated with the industrial process system to begin receiving real-time data related to measurements from a first sensor of a plurality of sensors of the industrial process system, and
- responsive to a second of the windows being in an inactive state, unsubscribe from second operational data of the plurality of operational data associated with the industrial process system to stop receiving real-time data related to measurements from a second sensor of the plurality of sensors of the industrial process system, wherein transitioning the second window into the inactive state reduces an amount of the plurality of operational data requested from the plurality of sensors.
