Introduction

The Station program provides the operations interface for the Experion Server.

The operations interface is the same whether the station is a Flex, Console or Console Extension.

Main Idea

Window Layout

When the Station program is running it provides a “window” for the displays requested by the

operator. The Station window has the following main features:

<Page Up> The Page Up key in keyboard or button in toolbar calls up the previous sequentialdisplay or previous set of data requiring the same display.

The Page Down key in keyboard or button in toolbar calls up the next sequentialdisplay or next set of data requiring the same display.

For example, a Group or Trend. This option can be configured for custom graphics.

<Page Down>

User CreatedGraphicalPushbutton

Using HMIWeb Display Builder it is possible to add pushbutton to custom displayswhich, when clicked, calls up a specified display.

Function Keys The Station keyboard contains a number of standard and user programmable functionkeys. A keyboard overlay is usually used at a standard keyboard.

Display Forward Available from the toolbar, this feature allows the recent displays to be re-displayed inforward display order. Note the drop-down which allows picking a display from the listof recent displays.

Note: This option is also available in the right-click short-cut menu in custom displays.

Introduction

In System displays and Custom Graphics, data is displayed in the ways described below.

Main Idea

Login to Windows with Student User.

ATTENTION


AnalogDataFields

The value of an analog parameter can be displayed in the following ways:

as a boxed or plain numerical value ,

as a dynamically filled object, for example, a tank level or bar indicator,

or,

as a sequence of shapes linked to the parameter value.

StatusDataFields

The value of a status parameter can be displayed in the following ways:

as a boxed or plain state description CLOSED,

as a boxed or plain state value ,

as a combo box (if the parameter is OP)

or,

as a sequence of shapes linked to the state value.

Selectinga Field

To select a field, click on it with the left mouse button.

The field will be highlighted and its name and value displayed in the message area.

If the access to the data is available, the selected field will be displayed with a blackbackground.

A white background indicates no access is available.

ATTENTION

A black background does not necessarily imply thatthe current user has the authority to change theselected data field. This will be validated after the newdata has been entered (Refer next page).

Modifying an Analog Field

The following explanation details three methods of changing an analog data value:

Select the field, enter the desired value and press <Enter>.Select the field and, from the toolbar or keyboard, use Raise.

( , <F9>) or Lower ( , <F10>).

Each function will raise or lower the selected analog value by a default of 1% of fullscale.

(This percentage is configurable from the Server-wide Station Settings page).

Select the field and use either of the function keys.

Fast Raise: <Alt>+<F9> Fast Lower: <Alt>+<F10>

Each function will raise or lower the selected analog value by a default of 10% of fullscale.

(This percentage is configurable from the Server-wide Station Settings page).

The following explains three methods of changing a Status field:Modifying aStatus Field

Select the combo box and choose the required option from the resulting drop-downmenu.

Select the combo box and choose Raise (<F9>) orLower (<F10>) to drive the OP to

the corresponding state as indicated on the Point Detail under theScanning tab.

Select any displayed parameter, of the required point, choose Control > SelectOutput and choose Raise (<F9>) orLower (<F10>) to drive the OP to thecorresponding state, as indicated in the Scanning tab of the Status Point’s Detaildisplay.

Note: The use of <F9> and <F10>, on a status parameter, raises a prompt near thestatus point parameter. Click Yes to complete the operation.

Any point operation will require confirmation if the associated point has the “ControlConfirmation” option enabled. This can be verified from the Control Confirm checkboxin the Main tab of the Point Detail display. For example use of <F9> and <F10> on ananalog parameter will prompt a Control confirmation dialog near the point parameter.

Introduction

The Point Detail page shows all Point related information in a standardized and comprehensive

form.

Main Idea

Displaying a Point Detail page

There are various techniques to display the Point Detail page for a point depending on what youknow about the point name (Point ID).

Know the Point ID

Enter the following:

either: Point_ID<F12>

or, Point_ID and click on the tool bar,

where Point_ID is the required point name;

Or, click on the toolbar, type in the point name and select the OK button.

Know where to “ find” the Point

Locate the display of a parameter related to the required point (for example, a diagram of a process element on custom graphic, or an alarm line message).

Either Select the parameter and

Click on the tool bar,

or, Press <F12>

or, Double click on the parameter.

or: Partial_Point_ID and click on tool bar,

where Partial_Point_ID is the known leading characters of the required point name.

ATTENTION

Do not Press<Enter>

Station will display a list of all the points (and any other database items) whose names

start with the known characters.

This list will include only those remote points that have been previously accessed by thisServer.

Double click the required Point ID to display its Detail page.

Paging through Point Details

Using <Page Down> or<Page Up> while viewing a Point Detail will display the next orprevious Point ID in alpha-numeric order.

Introduction

What is a Group?

A group is a collection of up to 8 points of any type.

Any point can be allocated to any group.

A point can be allocated to any number of groups.

Main Idea

Group Faceplates

Each point’s faceplate on a Group page depends on the point type.

For each SCADA point type predefined formats are supplied. Customized formats can be used if

required.

Since there are no limits to the number or variety of parameters that can be contained within a

process (C200/C200E/C300/ACE/SIM-C200) point, there are also no limits as to how such points

can be displayed in Group pages.

However, to simplify the task of system configuration a number of predefined formats (faceplates)are provided.

More detail on the variety of parameters available can be obtained by attending the Experion CEEImplementation course.

Introduction

What is a Trend Set?

A Trend Set is a collection of up to 32 point parameters of any type displayed against time on a

single trend page.

Any point can be allocated to any Trend Set.

Any point parameter can be allocated to any number of Trend Sets.

ATTENTION

Trend Set allocations are independent of Group

allocations.

Main Idea

Trend data and History files

If a point that is allocated to a pen on a trend is also assigned to history then the displayed pen willautomatically display data from the requisite history file.

If a point that is allocated to a pen on a trend is not assigned to history then the displayed pen be

blank initially and will subsequently be updated in real time.
