The operator level with DigiVis

The operator stations

The operator stations of the Freelance 800F system

run on common personal computers, or, in special

cases industrial PCs.

The DigiVis software package, based on Microsoft

Windows as a graphical user interface, enhances the

ease of use and the performance of process opera

tion. In addition, you can also use any PC peripherals

such as monitors, printers, mice and keyboards that

are available on the market for Windows-compliant

PCs. The operation and observation (DigiVis) and

configuration (Control Builder F) functions can also be

performed together on one PC. DigiVis operation and

observation software has the following features:

• Transparent and rapid operation due to a clearly

structured information hierarchy

• User-specific function key assignment for fast

display selection

• A large number of pre-engineered display types

• A control aspect, providing access to dynamic

interlocking displays for the selected tag (in

connection with OPC or trend server)

• An external aspect, providing access to additional

information such as PDF documentation, live

videos from the plant, standard operational pro-

cedures (SOPs), etc.

• Rapid selection of the correct measuring points in

case of process alarms

• Uniform message concept and clearly arranged

display of messages and operator hints

• Configurable voice output on the PC for messages

• Up to 16 user groups/access profiles, with a

maximum of 1000 users, specific password for

each user (with optional Security Lock software)

• Trend display with archiving

• Logging of all operator actions, including name

and timestamp

• System diagnostics, even down to the field device,

allowing full field device error diagnostics

• Various language versions: German, English,

Spanish, Swedish, Russian, Polish, French,

Chinese and Japanese

• Dual-monitor operation on a single PC, with one

mouse and one keyboard

Process visualization is supported by:

• Plant-specific custom graphic displays

• Faceplates for process points (tags)

• Up to 15 plant areas with plain text labeling

Plant-specific displays

Plant-specific displays geared to the specific

demands of the plant operator can be configured

to depict process activities.

Static sections of the graphic displays can be cre

ated using the graphics editor. In addition, you also

have the option of inserting such static sections in

the form of bitmaps. Current process data or process

states can be animated dynamically in a suitable

position using features such as bar graphs, dynamic

filling and trend windows.

Depending on process states, graphic symbols can

be replaced, flash, and change color and position in

the graphic display. Process points can be viewed

either via faceplates in the graphic displays or via the

standard group displays.

Display selector fields or buttons can be used to

set up a specific selection hierarchy within custom

graphics for operation. The number of custom

graphics available in DigiVis is limited only by the

hard disk capacity.
