I’ve seen several presentations/articles on “High Performance HMI” that include the use of radar style plots on overview displays. But, every example I have seen was built on a non-DeltaV system. Has anyone built radar type plots for use with DeltaV? If so, would you mind sharing how you accomplished this?
In reply to Niklas Flykt:
I believe there might be some mileage in Niklas' activex suggestion, but I thought it wouldn't be too tricky to perform this in iFix, so I set myself a challenge of getting something usable together. Now I read back Scott Thompsons and Adrian Offield suggested pretty much what I've produced. And yes the effort to get to four values (mentioned by Adrian) as per my first attempt is fairly easy, but with a bit of trig it wouldn't be too tricky to increase to other factors of 360degrees.
I think it answers most of the concerns above. I've put a short (5 min) video together to show the fruits of my days work, if anyone is interested in taking what I've produced and using as is or developing further then please get in touch.
To use my simple four value radar charts you'd need the IES_RADAR shown in the video and the dynamo set i've placed the Radar plot into also called IES_RADAR. I produced this in version 11.3.1, but would work in pretty much any DeltaV version based on iFix. v5 onwards or was it 6?.
Anyway
Here is the link to the video.
