Abstract:
A method includes displaying regions in a graphical display. At least two regions correspond to different portions of a representation of an industrial process system. A thumbnail region corresponds to an entirety of the representation of the process system. A viewport region corresponds to a portion of the representation of the process system less than the entirety of the representation of the process system. The viewport region is disposed and movable within the thumbnail region. A current view region corresponds to a current view of the representation of the process system. The current view is associated with the viewport region. The method also includes, responsive to user activation, moving the viewport region within the thumbnail region and updating the current view region. The thumbnail region is configured to identify at least one fault condition indicator outside the viewport region.
Abstract:
A method includes parsing information associated with an industrial process in an industrial process control system to identify equipment data associated with the industrial process. The method also includes receiving a selection of equipment. The method further includes identifying one or more shapes associated with the selected equipment. In addition, the method includes automatically generating at least one process graphic containing the one or more shapes and the equipment data.

Abstract:
A method includes presenting a representation of a multi-panel display of an operator console on a touchscreen separate from the multi-panel display. The representation includes multiple placeholders associated with multiple panels of the multi-panel display. The method also includes receiving user input via the touchscreen, where the user input identifies at least one of the placeholders associated with at least one of the panels and a desired function. The method further includes performing the desired function to one of change first content presented in the at least one panel or change second content presented on the touchscreen based on the first content presented in the at least one panel. The desired function could include pushing the first content to the at least one panel or pulling the second content from the at least one panel.
