The Situational Awareness Library with
Symbol Wizards that is build in the
InTouch 2014, makes it easy for application developers to create highly
intuitive visual content and custom applications specific to an event. Situational
Awareness Library of Symbols fully leverages the new Alarm Borders, Element
Styles, Symbol Wizards, and the Animations described below. In addition, the
Symbols can be customized to meet any customer specific needs or standards. For
example, use a library Symbol to immediately accomplish 80% of what you need,
then customize the remaining 20%, saving engineering time and capitalizing on
Invensys™ symbol design best practices.
One of the new advanced Wizards is the
Polar Star which shows a set of related process values on ‘spokes’ that form a
visual polygon. As values change along the length of the spokes, the changing
shape of the polar star’s polygon is easily recognizable by operators who can
react quickly to abnormal process conditions. Each spoke contains a set
of custom properties to set value set points, alarm limits, and coordinate set
point locations for the normalized process value. When a process value changes from its set point location on a
spoke, the animation changes the shape of the polar star polygon.

Trend Pen: Trend Pen is a new
animated graphic element that enables an operator to immediately identify not only a current data value
but also the recent data historical trend in a specific absolute fixed time range (e.g. 8am to 5pm) or
in a moving window time range (e.g. last hour), enabling an operator to instantly distinguish
recent activity and dramatically improve predictability of potential future events and handling ‘potential’
issues before they become full alarms or events. An operator can
return to their screen and see a quick historical trend of what happened while
they were away.”
