Screens
On the OP , the process – for example, a processing machine or a mixing unit
– is displayed on screens and manipulated. The screens are configured by the
configurer for specific users.
On screens, associated process values are acquired and provide an overview
of a process or system. In addition to this alphanumeric ”imaging” of the pro -
cess, screens provide a means of entering process values and, consequently ,
of controlling the process.
Process values on a screen can be randomly assigned to subject-related
groups. An example of this is shown in figure 5-1.
