Product Description

Multi-Monitor Layouts

Monitors can be physically arranged in a square(2x2) or rectangular (1x4 or 1x3) layout. In thesquare layout, the mouse will move normally in anydirection—vertically, horizontally or diagonally—to

allow the operator ease of access to the graphics.With the rectangular layout, the mouse moveshorizontally across the screen. The operator’s easeof access can be enhanced with the addition oftouchscreens to any or all of the monitors.

Screen Positions

The standard layout of the operator screens sets up

the main operating screens as the middle twoscreens or as bottom screens with the additionalscreens on either side or as the upper screens. Thiskeeps the displays where the operator will beanswering alarms, operating the plant andnavigating to other information at the center of theworkstation. If desired this arrangement can easilybe reconfigured to meet specific customer needs. Ifa monitor should become unusable, the operatingdisplay can be reassigned to another monitor toallow the operator to keep operating until it can bereplaced.

Screen Layouts

The standard screen layout is basically a dual-monitor workstation with two additional screens. Thecenter two screens (or the bottom two screens in asquare configuration) have a standard alarm bannershowing the top 10 alarms, with the standard DeltaVtool bars at the top. The additional screens have justa tool bar at the top. In a square layout, the tool baris at the bottom of the upper screens.

The additional screens will correctly position astandard DeltaV operator graphic so the space

normally occupied by the alarm banner is blank.However, if desired, custom buttons and otherinformational elements can be added in this area sothe spaced does not go unused.

Special Operational Modes

To help the operator access information more easily,one monitor can be configured to allow the operatorto open displays and direct actions that occur on theother monitors. This setup can greatly reduce theamount of mouse movement required of theoperator to navigate the system. If the faceplates areset to open on this one monitor, the operator caneasily keep the other displays unobstructed andconstantly visible.
