Abstract

A process control monitoring system for a process control plant uses graphical trend symbols to help detect and monitor process variable trends within a process control plant. A graphical display application within the process control monitoring system can implement and display each graphical trend symbol to graphically indicate or summarize current trend and value information of process variables within the process control plant. While maintaining the hierarchical structure or each level of the process plant, the graphical display application can display graphical trend symbols in spatially realistic locations within the graphical representation of the process control plant. Graphical display applications may also include navigation panes and zoom features, enabling users to quickly drill down through trending data for more information and to support problem identification and diagnostic tasks.

Description

technical field [0001] In general terms, the present disclosure relates generally to process control systems and, more particularly, to monitoring trends of process variables and hierarchical, graphical navigation of process control plants. Background technique [0002] Process plants, such as those employed in the chemical, petroleum, or other industries, typically include one or more centralized or decentralized process controllers that are communicatively coupled via analog, digital, or combined analog / digital busses to at least A host or operator workstation and one or more process control and instrumentation devices (such as field devices). Field devices can be, for example, valves, valve positioners, switches, transmitters, and sensors (eg, temperature, pressure, and flow rate sensors) that perform functions in a process (such as increasing or decreasing flow and measuring process parameters). The process controller receives process measurements or process variables o...
