ABSTRACT
Control system for Industrial application often monitors and controls thousands of sensors and actuators in a single area of an industrial batch processing or continuous processing plant e.g. Steel Plant, Cement Plant or Paper Plant. There are normally alarms set to monitor parameters to check if the situation is going out of control. In many situations there is too much data to be monitored. A common saying is that there is too much data in the system and too little information. The operator is lost in the plethora of data and unable to get an overview of the system performance as a whole. The present paper addresses this issue with a generic visualization of the plant parameters to enable the operator to perform effective and strategic control, keeping the key performance Indices within an acceptable envelope.
