Pages

Graphics pages create the visual interface an operator uses to monitor and control a runtime system. They are typically designed to reflect a particular area or process within a facility.

Plant SCADA supports Standard Pages and Industrial Graphics Pages.

Standard Pages

Standard pages are designed to run on Plant SCADA display clients, typically running on network computers.

To browse the standard pages associated with the active project, use the Pages view in the Visualization activity (see Browse Pages in Plant SCADA Studio). You can also use the Property Grid to view and edit some of the properties for any selected pages (see View and Edit Page Properties in Plant SCADA Studio).

Examples

• StruxureWare (SxW) Templates Project

  The image below shows a graphics page that represents a plant mixer based on an SxW template. This page is available to view in the Plant SCADA "Example" project.

  

• Situational Awareness Starter Project

  If a project is based on the Situational Awareness Starter Project, its pages will be designed to operate within an architecture that enables the runtime environment to respond to contextual changes. A project will include master pages, and pages designed to operate within the panes of a master page (see Key Components of a Situational Awareness Project).

  For example, the image below shows an overview of a production line, constructed from a set pages hosted within the panes of a master page. This page is available to view in the Plant SCADA "ExampleSA" project.

  

  To facilitate contextual updates, pages in a Situational Awareness project may be assigned a Content Types.

  To configure standard graphics pages, you need to use Graphics Builder. This is the tool required to create a page, and add the content that makes it reflect the area or process it will be used to monitor.

Industrial Graphics Pages

Industrial Graphics pages are designed for delivery to web-based clients via the AVEVA Web Client. They are created and edited using AVEVA Industrial Graphics Editor.

To browse the Industrial Graphics pages associated with the active project, use the Pages view in the Visualization activity (see Browse Industrial Graphics Pages in Plant SCADA Studio).
