Indication for equipment running or not.

[benjamin]

Hi All,

Very new to SEEQ, we are currently moving to a new HMI and one thing I use very frequently is not being carried over.

So, I have learnt to use SEEQ! A little tiny bit!

Managed to have make an Organizer Topic with all the needed trends, which are working well (there are around 15, 1 minute updates), I am wondering if somehow I can represent a piece of equipment in this case a pump, to be running or not. I have a tag from the PLC that is either on or off for the equipment. 

I am hoping to represent it in a similar fashion to our old HMI.....

Something like this - 

Any help is appreciated, I am also trying to run a plant in between!

 

Thank you.

Hello Ben, 

There are lots of options for indicating equipment running in Seeq. A very common one is to use a Value Search (found under Tools in Workbench) to search the pump status tag and create a condition with capsules at the top of the screen. For example, here I created an OFF condition in red, and used a second Value Search to create a RUNNING condition in green. You would have these conditions at the top of your trends in Organizer:

 

As another option, you can put the OFF and the RUNNING condition on the same lane as the pump status signal:

 

Do either of these ideas help? 

John

Hey John,

I think the first option may be helpful. I'll give it a go. Thanks
