Operator control and monitoring
6.11 Faceplate
The structure of the view is identical for all faceplates; only the origin of the identification data
is different.
The following figure shows an example of the view:
Display
● Maintenance status
You can find more information on the maintenance status in the sections "Maintenance
status and maintenance group display (Page 123)" and "Maintenance status of redundant
components (Page 126)".
● Identification data
The identification data represents the electronic rating plate of a device. The identification
data is refreshed manually in the faceplate using the operator control.
There is an automatic update following the change in status from "Maintenance alarm" to
another maintenance status. The exception to this is the status "unknown/unchecked".
You can find information about the sources of the identification data in the section "Origin
of the identification data (Page 183)".
Note
Not every asset provides all identification data.
If certain identification fields in the "Ident" view are empty even though the time stamp in
the "Last update" field has been updated, these data are not provided by the component.
The causes may be as follows:
● There is no data stored in the component.
● The component does not recognize the data.
If, however, no time stamp is displayed in the "Last update" field, then either the
identification data have not been updated or there are no online data available for these
components.
