Topology¶
The Topology widget is used to display information in a hierarchical structure. It is generally used to monitor connected assets of a site.
Node¶
The most basic unit of Topology is called a node, which is displayed as a card.
A node card can represent an asset and display the following elements for the asset.
No. | Element | Description |
---|---|---|
Status | Indicates the connection status of the asset. It shows a green dot if there is incoming data within 20 minutes. Otherwise, a grey dot is shown. | |
Icon | Represents the type of component | |
Title | Shows the name of the component | |
Current Flow | Indicates the direction of electrical current. An up arrow indicates current flowing into the asset, while a down arrow indicates current flowing out of the asset. | |
Content | Shows a list of measurement point values | |
More Information | Displays additional data values in a separate dialog box. |
Trend Analysis¶
For each node, you can add its data field for trend analysis. This is generally used to analyze the overall performance of the component over a period of time.
You can add a data field for trend analysis by following these steps:
- Click on the data field that you want to add.
- Click on Trend Analysis at the top right corner of the widget. Here, you can check the list of added data fields, remove some by clicking the x button beside their names, or remove all of them by clicking .
