First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for an intelligent human machine interface (HMI) for effective process operations in an industrial process control and automation system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first application, a tag associated with an equipment included in distributed control system (DCS) of the industrial process control and automation system, wherein the tag indicating an event associated to the equipment includes at least one of a controller, a sensor or an actuator;
retrieving, from at least a second application, at least an action linked to the event based on the tag received from the first application, wherein the tag includes metadata associated with a parameter of the event;
providing at least one of diagnoses, safety information, or health information, as the metadata from one or more application, corresponding to the parameter of the event;
collating the tag and the actions to update the metadata associated with the parameter of the event based on retrieving the action linked to the event;
transmitting the updated metadata and the tag indicating the event and the action linked to the event to a HMI display;
selecting at least one component on the HMI display and providing actionable recommendations based on the selection of the at least one component; and
displaying, on the HMI display, a location of the event using the tag and the action linked to the event, wherein content for display is based on the updated metadata, and wherein the action provides the actionable recommendations and predetermined information corresponding to the event associated to the equipment.

Abstract
A method implemented using a server includes receiving, from a first application, a tag associated with an equipment, the tag indicating an event. The method also includes retrieving, from at least a second application, at least one of an action or context information linked to the event based on the tag. The method further includes transmitting the tag indicating the event and the action linked to event. In addition, the method includes displaying, on a plant graphic, a location of the event using the tag and the action linked to the event.
