Tab

The Tab popup is the default popup that opens when a DynTouch object is clicked. It acts as a navigation hub for all other popups available for that object, and provides an immediate overview of the object's current status.

Tab popup

The Menu section at the top displays a button for each popup available for the object. The following popups are always visible regardless of which suffixes the object has:

  • History
  • Maintenance
  • Object Info
  • Trend

Additional popups — such as Process or Control — appear only when the object has signals matching the suffixes configured for that popup. See Suffix - Popups for more information on how popups are connected to suffixes.

The menu supports a maximum of 15 tabs. For information on creating custom popups see Create Popup.

Overview

The Overview section displays general information about the object:

  • Name — the object name derived from the tag structure
  • Connection — the connection the object belongs to
  • Device — the device the object belongs to
  • System — the system the object belongs to
  • A miniature view of the object as it appears in the process view, automatically generated from its placement in the Workview

Alarm statistics

The overview also displays a live summary of the object's alarm status:

  • Total number of active alarms
  • Number of unacknowledged alarms
  • Number of acknowledged alarms

These values are derived automatically from the object's tag name and do not require any additional configuration.

Maintenance statistics

Below the alarm statistics, a summary of the object's maintenance status is shown:

  • Total number of maintenance tasks
  • Number of ongoing maintenance tasks
  • Number of missed maintenance tasks

These values are also derived automatically from the object's tag name.
