Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a system for visualizing a single address space on the user interface of a display system, in particular an automation system.
- the method and the device are suitable for different applications, in particular for the visualization of a large address space with a meshed network of nodes for the purpose of organizing automation-related data.
- Address spaces are used to represent information models.
- Such information models may be products of individual manufacturers, such as ABB's "ABB Aspect Object Model", or standardized information models that define information presentation for particular applications, such as the OPC UA information model OPC UA is one specified by the OPC Foundation Standard protocol for vendor-independent communication, especially in process automation
- the ABB Aspect Object Model is a model that presents the data and characteristics (aspects) of a real object as software components, and the integration of different devices using a single integrated architecture and systems easier.
- GUI Graphical User Interface
- the tree structure is used in many applications.
- the tree representation for the visualization of address spaces is the first choice because of its simplicity. But this advantage can be detrimental when working with large address spaces with a meshed network of nodes, such as the OPC UA information model or the ABB Aspect Object Model.
- visualization paradigms that show more detail than trees would make working with the model and understanding easier.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a solution for the visualization of automation-related data, which makes it possible to present many details, avoiding the disadvantages of known visualizations.
- the invention it is therefore proposed, depending on the variant, to create a plurality of configurable display areas on a user interface, all of which show the same address space in different display modes.
- the representation in the other display areas is automatically synchronized.
- a second variant after dragging a node from one ad area to another ad area, all relationships between the existing nodes and the newly added node in the destination area are automatically displayed.
- FIG. 2 shows a representation according to the invention of an address space in a plurality of display areas
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show a possibility of shifting nodes into another display area according to a second method variant
- FIGS. 7 and 8 are views of relationships between servers.
- FIG. 1 shows such a known example with a tree structure-based representation (on the left side of Fig. 1), and details of a selected node are shown in a table-related view (on the right side of Fig. 1) ,
- the display options are limited in such a solution in that the graphical user interface the address space by means of only one predefined way of showing.
- the visualization of a mesh network of nodes representing the address space by means of a display component based on a tree structure leads to a simplified representation of the address space. Although this is advantageous for fast navigation through the address space, it is disadvantageous if the structure and node dependencies are to be examined because the tree structure does not show all the available information.
- a visualization of a meshed node network by means of a tree structure also leads to recursions of underlying tree structures, and a multiple representation of the same node in several parts of the tree structure.
- another known type of visualization namely a graphics-based visualization of the address space has the advantage of a vivid representation of the meshed node network with all its details, but disadvantages if you want to navigate through an address space with a variety of nodes to overview the overall structure receive.
- Other known visualization types such as so-called globe-like views (see H3Viewer, T.
- a plurality of configurable visualizations of a single address space are provided on a user interface 1 for the organization of automation-related data.
- the graphical user interface 1 is subdivided into a plurality of address space display areas 2, 3, 4.
- Each area 2, 3, 4 visualizes the address space by means of a user-configured special display component (as shown in FIG. 3).
- Each area 2, 3, 4 has a first part 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 that allows it to navigate through the address space, and a second part 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 that shows details of a selected node.
- the aforesaid user interface 1 of a display device of a computer system can, for example, be part of an automation system, in particular of a process control system.
- FIG. 3 shows an exemplary representation of different views of a specific address space in the first subregions 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 of the visualization areas 2, 3, 4.
- Three configured visualization components 7, 8, 9 are shown, namely displays are based on a graphic 7, a tree structure 8 and a 3D representation 9, all representing the same address space.
- the first variant of the method will be explained with reference to FIG. 4.
- all visualization areas 2, 3, 4 of the user interface 1 the same node structure of the address space with its nodes and their relationships with each other is visualized.
- all representations in the visualization areas 2, 3, 4 are automatically synchronized when a user navigates through the address space and makes changes in one of the visualization areas 2, 3, 4, eg. B. adds or removes nodes.
- a change in the address space can be effected for example by means of a mouse or a keyboard.
- To facilitate the work is a within one of the visualization areas 2, 3, 4, z.
- selected node automatically marked, for example by means of a conspicuous, z. B. red frame 12.
- the selected node which is the same in all areas, automatically marked in the same way.
- parameters can also be advantageously configured by the user in one of the areas 2, 3, 4, which has an effect on all visualization components 7, 8, 9 due to the synchronization.
- Such parameters may be, for example:
- Start node that is the node with which the navigation starts
- Relationship Type representing only the selected specific type of relationships between nodes
- the configured visualization components 7, 8, 9 are independent of each other when navigating through the address space.
- the visualization components 7, 8, 9 can have different selected nodes, as well as different sets of reduced or extended nodes, and can also show different types of relationships.
- Different selected nodes in the visualization components 7, 8, 9 are identified in different ways, for example by means of boxes of different colors.
- a node selected there is identified with a dashed box 14 in the display area 5.4 in order to distinguish it from a node 13 that does not match it in the display area 5.3.
- the well-known drag-and-drop method in one of the visualization components e.g. B.
- a node 13 for example by means of a mouse button, is detected and dragged (drag), as shown in Fig. 5, and in another visualization component, eg. For example, if 7 is dropped, in the target representation, here component 7, all relationships between the existing nodes and the newly added node 13 are shown, for example, by arrows, as shown in FIG.
- previous node constellations are only shown in the currently active visualization component. Active is, for example, the last identified by mouse-click visualization component 7, 8, or 9. Accordingly, newer constellations are shown in the forward navigation.
- parameters may be, for example:
- Start node that is the node with which the navigation starts
- Relationship Type which represents only selected specific types of relationships between nodes
- Fig. 7 shows an address space extending over three servers A, B, and C, the relationships between the servers being indicated by arrows.
- Fig. 8 shows an example of an address space which also extends over three servers A, B, C and the relations between the servers A, B, C, and node 15 are also indicated by arrows 16, wherein a graphics-based representation is given.
