The information system for industrial automationRapid information | for rapid decisions
To manage a processing plant these days is
tovigh going The demands are grea. Mainly
for knowledge. Knowledge for maint
ofa high product quality. Knowledge for develop
tment of the production proces itself. Ever higher
demands are placed on production reporting and
environmental protection. While the competitors
Scramble to get onto your turf, In this complex
world, you are required to make the right decisions
fon the spot. To do s0, you need information. Com-
hensive and reliable information which fs one
Step ahead. You know better than anyone the
amount of money at stake
No question about it, you need a process infor
mation system to give you that knowledge base. Bu
the problem is, when you put the system in, you do
not really Know what the requirement are going to
Took ike inthe future. Your plane may have to be
re-built. Or estended. You may discoser a more

process, No question about i the sytem you putin

taints of tomorrow
ABB SuperView is the answer
SuperView gives you instant, live information on the
current situation throughout your plant. In colour-
graphics. On process diagram displays, reports,
DO) frends, alarm ists and event lists
SuperView offers a process information toolbox
which enables you to adapt large chunks of func~
tonality by just specifying a few parameters.
SuperView is an open system where iti easy to
develop and install additional software
SuperView isa state-of-the-art process informa-
tion system, yet well proven in many, dilfere
applications
SupetView is a part of the ABB Master process
‘control system.
SuperView fits all plants, from the smallest to the
langest.
SuperView keeps the process information flow
day and night, year in, year out

if your requirements on production reporting, pro-

For this purpose, SuperView oles you wide access
to all kinds of data; process, historical and user All
structured and accessed in the same logical way:
Third party sofware may be an alternative to the
do-it-yourself approach. SuperView is based on the
VAXAVMS* range of computers, the industry-stan-
dard, from Digital Equipment Corporation. There-
fore, that software you are interested in, is more
likely to fit SuperView than any other process in-
formation system you could think of
Al the way. The SupetView soliware package
runs inal models ofthe VAX/VMS family of com
puters, from the smallest to the largest. Therefore,
it does not matter if you want to start small, tay
small or grow big. SuperView can stay with you all

Another measure of flexibility runs along the
system size and scope continuum, The system
should suit you equally well when you are small
as when you are big. The opposite implies a lot of
additional costs which do not show up in the
supplier's ofler. Most of them consequential, as
you battle to retrain staff and regain output after
| change of system,
A\ third measure is how easy oF difficult it is co
implement everyday, functional changes. IF itis
not you are not going to get that lading edge
you bargained for when you installed the system
In the first place. All those small improvements,

the future
which together spell the difference between leader-
ship and mediocrity, simply will not get done
SuperView has got attractive answers to all
three:
Firstly, SuperView is based on the industry-
standard, multitasking operating system VMS. For
that reason, itis easy to combine SuperView with
additional application software, To meet new de
‘mands, now and in the future,
Secondly, VMS is standard in a wide ranging
family of VAX computers, from small to large
For that reason, SupetView, and whatever
supplementary software you are using, can stay
with you as your plant grows
Thirdly, the configuration software has been
written as independent tasks. So you ean con-
figure and re-configure your functions on line
Interactively. Conversationally
With SuperView, you are ready to take on the

picture library in order. And enables you to sclect
the display you want for presentation, But for fre~
quel sed plays, you ae likey to use the
iret selection keys instead
For each display, you can define up to ten dyna~
mic function keys. You can use them! for selection of
‘other displays, activation of additional software,
start-up of your own calculations and more. Fields
‘of data on the process display may be used as parse
‘meters for such calculation routines
fan important alarm is raised, somewhere in the
plant, a message to that effect can be made to appe-
arat the top of the screen, regardless of the display
presented. Further details may be obtained from an
appropriate provess display. There, colour and flash-
ing are used to indicate alarm and other states
The report function of SuperView makes it pos-
sible to get reports calculated and printed at prede~
termined times. For every report, you are able to
select if alarms should be indicated, which printer
to output it to, the printout and interval times. Re
ports are built lke process displays.
All displays are built on the bass of ABB's well
respected ABB Tesselator technology, the hallmarks
of which are high resolution where it counts, wide
choice of colours, paint and draw capabilites, fst
display exchange and Hicker-fre display All this
contributes to excellent display legibility and good
‘operator ergonomics in general
