Graphics

Graphics

This is one of the most important modules of myKiconex platform. With this tool, it is possible to make temporary graphical representations of analog/digital variables and states. The module allows data comparisons of different controls and facilities, as well as the creation of preconfigured graphs for easier access to historical behavioral data.

In myKiconex platform, data can be saved over time (see section on control saving interval configuration). These data can be visualized in a graph to analyze the behavior of a control over time.

Access to the data history of a variable

It is easily open the data history of a variable, wherever the variable is visible:

• Facility controls tab
• Simple control view
• Extended control view
• Facility diagram

Graph configuration points

The graph looks as follows:

Time period (start and end date) shown on the graph

Displayed information time zone

Zoom bar over the period of time shown on the graph

Legend with date curve information

Overlapping data from several variables on the same graph

It is possible to overlap the data of different variables on the same graph. To do this, use the button with the "pushpin" symbol:

By marking the pin symbol in blue color, the graph is not lost when you close and reopen the data history of another variable

The process for overlapping several graphs is shown below:

1 - Open the first variable graph.

2 - Mark the pushpin in blue and close the graph.

3 - Open the graph of the second variable.

4 - When the pushpin is marked in blue, a graph is opened with the new variable and the previous graph is maintained.

Saving a graph permanently =

There is the possibility to permanently save the graph, in order to have it accessible from the list of graphs of the user (left side menu) or from the list of graphs of the facility(menu "GRAPHICS" inside the facility). The following images show a graph with the data of several variables and the saving process:

1 - Click on Save option in the graph that opens from the control view.

2 - Confirm creation of the graph.

3 - Specify general data of the graph: name, description, facility to which it belongs and period of time that will be displayed by default when accessing it.

4 - The variables that appeared in the graph are shown in "SECTIONS" tab. Here, it is able to adjust how you want to see the data curves. The saving process is completed by clicking on the blue "SAVE" button.

Downloading the data of a graph

After saving a graph following the steps of the previous point, there is the possibility to download the historical data in an Excel file. The following images show the icon that allows you to switch between the graph view and the data table view:

Toggle between graph and chart view

Icon to view graph data in chart format

The data chart can be downloaded from the icon in the image below:

Export of the data chart in a .csv file.
