Displaying data on a plan
Displaying asset data on a plan or drawing allows you to define zones or markers and set their colors according to thresholds. A plan can be linked to an asset and used in a dashboard.
Follow these steps to create and configure a plan:
Creating a Plan
- Access the Plan Module:
- Navigate to the “Plan” module.
- Click on Add > Create Plan.
- Configure the Plan:
- Enter a name for the plan.
- Select an image (e.g., floor plan, machine layout).
- Click Save.
- Adjust the Image:
- The map will appear. Adjust the image size if necessary.
Creating Markers
Markers can be used to represent specific points on the plan. Follow these steps to create a marker:
- Access the Markers Tab:
- Go to the “Markers” tab.
- Click the “+“ button to create a new marker.
- Position and Name the Marker:
- Drag and drop the marker to position it on the image.
- Name the marker.
- Edit the Marker:
- Choose a shape (square or round) and define its size (small, medium, large).
- Define the measurement types to be displayed (name, default value, and unit).
- Set thresholds and associated colors for one of the measurement types.
Creating Zones
Zones can be used to represent areas on the plan. Follow these steps to create a zone:
- Access the Zones Tab:
- Go to the “Zones” tab.
- Click the ”+“ button to create a new zone.
- Draw and Name the Zone:
- Use the shape editor to draw a geometric shape on the plan.
- Name the zone.
- Edit the Zone:
- Define the measurement types to be displayed (name, default value, and unit).
- Set thresholds and associated colors for one of the measurement types.
Configuring the Plan
To use the plan in context, follow these steps:
- Associate the Plan with an Asset:
- Select a floor type asset.
- Click on the “Floor Plan” tab.
- Edit the asset and click the ”+“ button.
- Select the floor plan from your plan library.
- Name and save the configuration.
- Define Data Sources:
- For each marker or zone, select a data source for each measurement type.
- Choose a data source for the timestamp.
- Save the configuration.
Example Use Case
For a project with office buildings, you can create plans for each floor to monitor air quality. Each floor can be divided into zones equipped with sensors for temperature, CO2, etc.
Displaying the Plan
- The configured plan will appear in the asset's plan tab.
- It can also be displayed in a dashboard using the map widget.
- Multiple plans can be associated with an asset, allowing for different representations of the same space (e.g., indoor air quality, occupancy).
By following this guide, you can effectively display and manage data on a plan, enhancing your asset monitoring capabilities.
