Description

Method and device for displaying multiple errors on human-computer interface
The application is a divisional application of Chinese patent application with application number 201210451117.2, which is filed on 12/11/2012, and entitled "method and device for displaying multiple errors on human-computer interface".
Cross Reference to Related Applications
This application claims the benefit OF U.S. provisional patent application No.61/558,694 entitled "METHOD AND APPATUS FOR THIDSLAY OF MULTIPLE ERRORS ON A HUMAN-MACHINE INTERFACE", filed 11/2011, the entire contents OF which are incorporated herein by reference.
Background
In many industrial environments, the amount and complexity of equipment used needs to be automated in order to use the equipment productively. Automation is enhanced by a simplified interface between the user of the equipment and the equipment itself. This functionality is often provided through the use of a human-machine interface, which may be a simple computer including a touch screen or other input device to allow a user to control the equipment.
When problems occur in an industrial environment, these problems are often concentrated. Typically each error causes an error message on the human-machine interface. If a significant crash occurs, a large number of errors may be generated and all of these errors may be displayed on the human machine interface superimposed on each other. The operator must classify all of these errors to determine the often complex cause of the problem.

Detailed Description
The following description and the associated drawings teach the best mode of the invention. For the purpose of teaching inventive principles, some conventional aspects of the best mode may be simplified or omitted. The appended claims set forth the scope of the invention. Aspects of the best mode may not fall within the scope of the invention, which is defined by the claims. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize variations from the best mode that fall within the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the features described below can be combined in various ways to form multiple variations of the invention. As a result, the invention is not limited to the specific examples described below, but only by the claims and their equivalents.
FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of a method of displaying a plurality of errors on a human machine interface. In the present exemplary embodiment of the method of displaying a plurality of errors on a human machine interface, various graphical elements are created and modified by those human machine interfaces as shown in fig. 2 and 4 and described later. The various operations of the present methods may be performed by one or more human machine interfaces and there is no need to bind any operation to any particular human machine interface, as a general purpose computer may be configured to operate as a human machine interface capable of performing the operations of the methods described herein.
The human machine interface displays a graphical view of an industrial automation environment (operation 100). Generally, an industrial automation environment includes a plurality of machines coupled to one another in various ways. The environment can be graphically displayed using any of a variety of methods including graphically representing each machine within the industrial automation environment. An exemplary graphical view of an industrial environment is shown in fig. 5.
In the present example, the human machine interface detects a plurality of error conditions related to machine operation within the industrial automation environment (operation 102). The human-machine interface also determines a plurality of locations within the graphical view that are associated with a plurality of error conditions (operation 104). The graphical view shown in FIG. 5 also includes a plurality of error conditions at a plurality of locations.
In an exemplary embodiment, determining a plurality of locations within the graphical view that are associated with a plurality of error conditions includes: a physical location of one or more machines corresponding to the plurality of error conditions is determined. In another exemplary embodiment, determining a plurality of locations within the graphical view that are associated with a plurality of error conditions further comprises: the physical location of controls or displays within one or more machines is determined.
The human machine interface identifies at least one set of error conditions from a plurality of error conditions based on the plurality of locations (operation 106). For example, error conditions having error locations that are clustered or close together will be grouped together. In some exemplary embodiments, identifying at least one set of error conditions from the plurality of error conditions based on the plurality of locations comprises: a distance between locations of at least one of the plurality of locations is determined.
The human-machine interface then displays a graphical representation of the at least one set of error conditions (operation 108). This grouping allows a user to quickly determine between different sets of errors the errors of interest in seeking a solution to the error condition. Grouping these errors also provides easier access to investigation of errors that may have been previously obscured by later errors. This provides the user with an easy way to ensure that all errors are checked. An exemplary graphical representation of several sets of error conditions is shown in FIG. 6.
In some implementations, the at least one set of graphical representations of error conditions, when selected by a user, results in the display of an error report. The error report may include: a number of error conditions within the at least one set of error conditions, a representation of a current error identification within the at least one set of error conditions, a current error description, a navigational control for navigating between error conditions within the at least one set of error conditions, and the like. An exemplary error report is shown in fig. 7.
In some implementations, the representation of the current misidentification includes a graphical representation. In some exemplary embodiments, the navigation control includes a next error control and a previous error control. These error controls may take any of a wide variety of forms. For example, using a touch screen, sliding an error report in one direction may trigger the display of the next error, while sliding an error report in the opposite direction may trigger the display of the previous error. In further examples, the graphical representation of the at least one set of error conditions includes a number of errors within each of the at least one set of error conditions.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a human-machine interface 200 and the associated discussion are intended to provide a brief, general description of a suitable computing environment in which the processes illustrated in FIG. 1 may be implemented. Many other configurations of computing devices and software computing systems may be utilized to implement a system for displaying multiple errors on a human-machine interface.
The human-machine interface 200 may be any type of computing system capable of processing graphical elements, such as a server computer, a client computer, an internet appliance, or any combination or variation thereof. FIG. 4, discussed in more detail subsequently, provides a more detailed illustration of an exemplary human-machine interface. In practice, the human-machine interface 200 may be implemented as a single computing system, but may also be implemented in a distributed manner across multiple computing systems. For example, the human-machine interface 200 may represent the following server system (not shown): with the server system, computer systems (not shown) running software 206 may communicate to support human-machine interface features. However, the human-machine interface 200 may also represent a computer system running software 206. In practice, the human-machine interface 200 is provided as an example of a general purpose computing system that becomes a special purpose system capable of operating as a human-machine interface when implementing the method shown in FIG. 1.
The human machine interface 200 includes a processor 202, a storage system 204, and software 206. The processor 202 is communicatively coupled with a storage system 204. The storage system 204 stores human machine interface software 206, which human machine interface software 206, when executed by the processor 202, directs the human machine interface 200 to operate as described for the method shown in fig. 1.
Still referring to FIG. 2, the processor 202 may include a microprocessor and other circuitry that retrieves and executes the human interface software 206 from the memory system 204. Processor 202 may be implemented in a single processing device, but may also be distributed across multiple processing devices or subsystems that cooperate in executing program instructions. Examples of processor 202 include general purpose central processing units, special purpose processors, and graphics processors, as well as any other type of processing device.
The storage system 204 may include any storage medium readable by the processor 202 and capable of storing human interface software 206. Storage system 204 may include volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information, such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. The storage system 204 may be implemented as a single storage device, but may also be implemented across multiple storage devices or subsystems. The storage system 204 may include additional elements such as a controller capable of communicating with the processor 202.
Examples of storage media include random access memory, read only memory, magnetic, optical, and flash memory, as well as any combination or variation thereof, or any other type of storage media. In some implementations, the storage medium may be a non-transitory storage medium. In some implementations, at least a portion of the storage medium may be transitory. It should be understood that the storage medium is not a propagating signal in any case.
The human interface software 206 comprises computer program instructions, firmware, or some other form of machine-readable processing instructions for the methods illustrated in fig. 1 embodied therein. The human interface software 206 may be implemented as a single application, but may also be implemented as multiple applications. The human interface software 206 may be a stand-alone application, but may also be implemented within other applications distributed across multiple devices, including but not limited to other human interface software and operating system software.
In general, the human-machine interface software 206, when loaded into the processor 202 and executed, may transform the processor 202 and human-machine interface 200 as a whole from a general-purpose computing system into a special-purpose computing system customized to function as a human-machine interface as described by the method and associated discussion shown in FIG. 1.
Encoding the human interface software 206 may also transform the physical structure of the storage system 204. The particular transformation of physical structure may depend on various factors in different implementations of this description. Examples of such factors include, but are not limited to: the technology used to implement the storage media of storage system 204, whether the computer storage media is characterized as primary or secondary storage, and the like.
For example, if the computer storage medium is implemented as semiconductor-based memory, the human interface software 206, when encoded in the semiconductor memory, may transform the physical state of the semiconductor memory. For example, the human interface software 206 may transform the state of transistors, capacitors, or other discrete circuit elements that make up the semiconductor memory.
Similar transformations may occur with respect to magnetic media or optical media. Other transformations of physical media are possible without departing from the scope of the present description, with the foregoing examples provided only to facilitate this discussion.
Referring again to fig. 1 and 2, the error data 208 is transformed by operation of the human-machine interface 200 using human-machine interface software 206 to produce a grouped error 210. As an example, error data 208 may be considered to be transformed from one state to another through transformation of various elements of the graphics error data contained therein.
The human-machine interface 200 may have additional devices, features, or functionality. Optionally, the human-machine interface 200 may have an input device such as a keyboard, a mouse, a voice input device, or a touch input device, and the like. Output devices such as a display, speakers, printer, and other types of output devices may also be included. The human-machine interface 200 may also include communication connections and devices that allow the human-machine interface 200 to communicate with other devices, such as wired or wireless networks in a distributed computing and communication environment. These devices are well known in the art and need not be discussed in detail herein.
FIG. 3 illustrates a workflow diagram of a workflow associated with the design of human-machine interface graphical elements. FIG. 3 is included to illustrate an environment in which a human-machine interface is developed and used.
The graphic 304 is designed within a design editor 302. The graph 304 includes 4 components: static 1 component 306, dynamic 1 component 308, dynamic 2 component 310, and static 2 component 312. These 4 components may be arranged on one or more layers within the graphic 304.
Dynamic 1 component 308 and dynamic 2 component 310 may be converted into dynamic format files 314 that are dynamic 1. dynamic 316 and dynamic 2. dynamic 318, respectively. Static 1 component 306 and static 2 component 312 are converted into static format files 320 that are static 1.static 322 and static 2.static 324. These 4 files are then exported to intermediate editor 326 where the dynamic components can be edited to add properties and constraints (binding) in intermediate editor 326.
In an exemplary embodiment, the dynamic file is extensible markup language and the intermediate editor 326 comprises a markup language editor that provides a means for a user to add properties and constraints to the dynamic component. In some examples, the intermediate editor 326 includes an intermediate editor preview 332 in which the modified dynamic component can be previewed in conjunction with the static component associated with the modified dynamic component to ensure that the modification of the dynamic component is error free. In this example, the intermediate editor preview 332 displays an animated graphic 334 on a display device. The animated graphic 334 includes 4 components: static 1 component 322, modified dynamic 1 component 328, modified dynamic 2 component 330, and static 2 component 324.
Once the desired modifications to the dynamic component are completed in the intermediate editor, the graphics are exported to the screen editor 332 where the human interface screen is assembled and tested in the screen editor 332. In this example, the screen editor 332 displays animation graphics 1334 and 2336 for incorporation into the human interface screen.
The human-machine interface 338 is configured to display a plurality of human-machine interface screens, such as the human-machine interface screen 1340 and the human-machine interface screen 2342 shown in fig. 3. Animated graphical elements having all or any of these screens may correspond to first machine 344, second machine 346, and/or third machine 348.
FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of a computer system configured to operate as a human-machine interface 400. The method shown in fig. 1 is implemented on one or more human-machine interfaces 400 as shown in fig. 4. The human-machine interface 400 includes a communication interface 402, a display 404, an input device 406, an output device 408, a processor 410, and a storage system 412. The processor 410 is linked to the communication interface 402, the display 404, the input device 406, the output device 408, and the storage system 412. The storage system 412 includes a non-transitory memory device that stores operating software 414.
The communication interface 402 includes components that communicate over communication links, such as network cards, ports, radio frequency transceivers, processing circuitry, and software or some other communication device. The communication interface 402 may be configured to communicate over a metallic link, a wireless link, or an optical link. The communication interface 402 may be configured to use TDM, IP, ethernet, optical networking, wireless protocols, communication signaling, or some other communication format, including combinations thereof.
The display 404 may be any type of display capable of presenting information to a user. In some implementations, the display can include a touch screen. The input device 406 comprises any device capable of capturing user inputs and communicating those inputs to the computer-aided design system 400. The input device 406 may include a keyboard, a mouse, a touchpad, or some other user input means. Output device 408 comprises any device capable of delivering output from computer aided design system 400 to a user. Output device 408 may include a printer, a projector, a display, or some other user output apparatus. In some examples, the display 404, the input device 406, and the output device 408 may be external to the computer-aided design system 400 or may be omitted.
Processor 410 includes a microprocessor and other circuitry that retrieves and executes operating software 414 from storage system 412. Storage system 412 includes a disk drive, a flash drive, data storage circuitry, or some other non-transitory memory device. Operating software 414 comprises a computer program, firmware, or some other form of machine-readable processing instructions. Operating software 414 may include an operating system, a utility, a driver, a network interface, an application, or some other type of software. The operating software 414, when executed by the processing circuitry, directs the processor 410 to operate the human-machine interface 400 according to the method illustrated in FIG. 1.
In this example, the human-machine interface 400 performs a number of methods stored as software 414 within a storage system 412. The results of these methods are displayed to the user via display 404 or output device 408. The input device 406 allows multiple machines to send machine data and error data to the human machine interface 400.
For example, the processor 410 receives machine data and/or error data from the communication interface 402 or the input device 406. The processor 410 then operates on the machine data and error data to generate a packet error message, which may be stored in the storage system 412, displayed on the display 404, or output through the output device 408.
FIG. 5 illustrates a human machine interface screen 500 displaying a plurality of errors. In the present exemplary embodiment, the industrial automation environment includes 6 machine systems 522 through 532 graphically illustrated on human machine interface screen 500.
Each of machines 522, 524, and 526 has 1 error represented by elements 502, 504, and 506. The machine 528 has 5 errors, represented generally by element 508. The machine 530 has 3 errors, represented generally by element 510. The machine 532 has 2 errors, indicated generally by element 512.
Note that the large number of error messages associated with errors on machines 528, 530, and 532 are unreadable because they are at least partially covered by other error messages.
FIG. 6 illustrates a human machine interface screen 500 displaying a plurality of errors grouped together from FIG. 5. In the present exemplary embodiment, 5 errors from machine 528 are grouped together into a single error element 600. The error element 600 includes a single error button indicating the number of errors in the error element 600 and 5 error labels representing the 5 errors in the group. Other embodiments may combine the 5 error tags into a single error tag. Three errors from the machine 530 are grouped together into a single error element 602. The error element 602 includes a single error button indicating the number of errors in the error element 602 and 3 error labels representing the three errors in the group. Other embodiments may combine the 3 error tags into a single error tag. Two errors from machine 532 are grouped together into a single error element 604. The error element 604 includes a single error button indicating the number of errors in the error element 604 and 2 error tags representing 2 errors in the group. Other embodiments may combine the two error tags into a single error tag. The single error from machines 502, 504, and 506 remains unchanged.
It should be noted that error elements 600, 602, and 604 include an indication of the number of errors each element contains, which is indicated by a numerical subscript within the graphic grouping error element.
FIG. 7 illustrates a human machine interface screen 500 displaying an error report for one of the errors from FIG. 6. When the user selects the grouping error element, an error report is displayed. This selection may occur through any of a variety of mechanisms including, but not limited to, touch screen, mouse click, cursor hover, and the like.
In the present exemplary embodiment, the user has selected the packet error element 600 from FIG. 6 for closer inspection. In response to the selection, an error report 700 is displayed. In the present exemplary embodiment, error report 700 includes a number of elements.
The error report 700 includes an error name or number 702, an error description 704, and an error report off button 712. Error report 700 also includes navigational controls 706, 708, and 710, which navigational controls 706, 708, and 710 are useful for navigating between each error grouped together into grouped error element 600. Navigation control 706 is a previous error control that, when selected by the user, causes error report 700 to display information related to the previous error. Navigation control 710 is a next error control that, when selected by the user, causes error report 700 to display information relating to the next error.
Navigational controls 708 are representative of current error identifications within the at least one set of error conditions. In the present exemplary embodiment, navigation control 708 graphically represents the inclusion of 5 errors in the current error grouping by displaying a row of 5 circles. The fact that the user is currently viewing the first of the 5 errors is indicated by the fact that the first of the 5 circles is filled in. Many other methods of representing the current error flag may be used in place of the graphical representation. For example, other embodiments may display the number of errors, error identifications, and the like.
The foregoing description and the associated drawings teach the best mode of the invention. The appended claims set forth the scope of the invention. It is noted that some aspects of the best mode may not fall within the scope of the invention as specified by the claims. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the features described above can be combined in various ways to form multiple variations of the invention. As a result, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, but only by the appended claims and their equivalents.
