Object status and control

The information displayed on the right side of the monitor is in an area called the

“information window”. You use this area to issue commands. For example, it may

be necessary to deactivate or to exclude a device. You perform this task from the

information window. (See Fig. 13.)

Navigating in the Plant Browser

There are two possible ways to navigate in the Plant Browser. They are text view,

and map view.

− In text view, you use the hierarchical tree on the left to locate an area or de-

tector, and perform commands from the text in the information window on

the right.

− In map view, you move through the facility on a virtual map. (See Fig. 14.)

You identify the are

a or detector that you are interested in, and perform

commands on that area using the Point properties page, which is similar in

appearance to the information window in text view.

Note: In map view, using the hierarchical tree is optional.

The following example illustrates the easy navigation with the Plant browser in map

view:
