Configuring a Trend Set and a Group Display
This topic shows you how to configure two different types of simple standard
displays. It shows you how to configure:
• A display that will enable operators to see trend data for a set of points
• An operating group so that operators can see related point data on the
display
You can only configure an operating group if you are logged on to Station with a
security level of SUPV or higher. If necessary, refer to “Understanding Station
Security” on page 211 for information on security levels and log on procedures.
Note • The purpose of this tutorial is to familiarize you with some standard
configuration displays. You can step through the procedures for configuring
the displays even if you have not yet connected any controllers to the server
or downloaded your configuration data from Quick Builder to the server.
• If your server database is not yet fully operational, you will not see any
operating data in the Trend Set Detail displays (for example, “Multiplot
Trend Set Details Display” on page 43) and Group Detail display (“Group
Detail Display” on page 47). The screen captures in this section give you an
idea of what the displays would look like in a fully operational system.
Configuring a Trend Set Display
To create a Trend Set:
1 On a Station display, select Configure
⇒
Trends and Group Displays
⇒
Trends.
This calls up the System Configuration — Trends display.
