Abstract: A method, item communication arrangement and a computer program product communicate items representing process control objects to a user of a wireless terminal in a process control system. The arrangement includes an item communication control unit providing the items representing process control objects and configured to continuously determine weights of the items and visually communicate items to the user via the wireless terminal in an order defined by the weights of the items. The weight of an item is determined based on an item selection pattern of the user.

Abstract: A method of monitoring an industrial process by means of an ear protection system having an ear protection unit with a left speaker and a right speaker includes obtaining a direction from which a sound is to be provided based on an angle between a coordinate system defined by the ear protection unit and a coordinate system defined by an industrial process environment of the industrial process, and on a location of the origin of the coordinate system of the ear protection unit in the coordinate system of the industrial process environment relative a location of an industrial process component in the coordinate system of the industrial process environment; obtaining real-time process variable data relating to at least one process variable of the industrial process component; and providing a 3-d sound that simulates an origination from the direction by means of at least one of the left speaker and the right speaker, which 3-d sound is indicative of a state of the industrial process component, wherein the 3-d sound simulates a realistic sound of the at least one process variable, reflecting a real-time state of the at least one process variable. An ear protection system carrying out the method is also presented herein.
