Controls: Output System Information

The Output System Information control is a powerful component designed to display key system details and real-time notifications directly on your HMI. It provides dynamic access to critical system data, such as user information, time, active alarms, and more—making it an essential tool for SCADA applications.

Key Features:

  • Display System Data: The Output System Information control can show a variety of system details, including the current user name, the current page name, the system clock, and the version of eDesign being used. This helps keep users informed about the system’s status and context.

  • Active Alarms, Warnings, and Info: One of the most valuable features of this control is its ability to display active alarms, warnings, and information messages. For example, if a monitored variable (like temperature) exceeds a set threshold, an alarm can be triggered and displayed in real time.

  • Alarm Count Display: The Output System Information control can show the count of active alarms, warnings, or info messages. This makes it easy to monitor the number of ongoing issues or notifications without needing to navigate through other sections of the system.

  • Real-Time Monitoring: By displaying real-time data and system alerts, the Output System Information control provides continuous feedback to operators, ensuring they stay informed about system conditions and potential issues.

Use Cases:

  • Real-Time Alarm Monitoring: Perfect for SCADA systems, this control allows operators to keep track of ongoing alarms, warnings, and system information at all times.

  • System Context Display: Display essential system information like the current user or the active page, giving operators better awareness of their current environment and task.

  • Operational Overview: Use the Output System Information control to give users an overview of system status, including the count of active alarms or warnings, to ensure they can take timely action if necessary.

The Output System Information control is an indispensable tool for providing both operational data and critical system alerts, making it ideal for SCADA applications where real-time monitoring and quick response times are crucial.
