Time series data displayed in the Graph widget

Flexible Graph widget for visualizing time series data

The Graph widget is one of the most popular and flexible options for displaying time series data. It can be customized for different applications and enables user-friendly visualization.

The customization options are varied: Whether color, fill, labels, or units – the Graph widget can be adapted precisely to the respective requirements.

Another highlight is the ability to create alerts directly via the widget. This means that users can be notified automatically if defined limit values are exceeded, which ensures a fast response to critical events.

Pie chart in the Time Series Data Service

Intuitive Pie Chart widget for visualizing data ratios

The Pie Chart widget enables the simple and intuitive representation of ratios in order to show distributions at a glance. It is ideal for visually highlighting correlations and proportions.

The widget offers the flexibility to display both total and percentage values. The visualization can be customized to the needs of users – from colors and labels to units and other display elements.

With its customizable features, the Pie Chart widget helps users communicate complex data in a clear and understandable way.

Clear status detection with the Gauge widget

The Gauge widget provides an effective way of displaying data so that users can see the current status at a glance. The visualization is based on defined acceptance ranges, e.g., in the form of color zones such as green for “OK”, yellow for “Warning”, and red for “Critical”.

A special feature of the widget is the flexibility when defining limit values: Any number of threshold values can be defined and clearly displayed in the widget. With this intuitive display, the Gauge widget helps users interpret data quickly and respond to critical developments in good time.

Plain text messages and color coding of data with the Stat widget

The Stat widget provides the option to display individual data, such as the last, highest, lowest, or average value. This allows important key figures to be visualized in a targeted and clear manner.

A particular highlight is the function for setting up color coding to facilitate fast status evaluation. For example, displaying values up to 80 in green, values above 80 in yellow, and values above 100 in red.

Furthermore, the widget allows the configuration of plain text messages that can be generated automatically based on the data. This function makes it possible to link numerical values with meaningful messages, such as: “Everything is running normally” (up to 80), “Machine is running hot” (above 80), or “Machine is being switched off” (above 100).

By combining color coding and plain text, the Stat widget helps users to interpret complex data intuitively and take immediate action.

Overview of alerts with the Alert List widget

Overview and management of alerts with the Alert List widget

The Alert List widget provides a central overview of all alerts set up. This means that users can efficiently view the current status of the monitored data or display status changes within a defined period of time.

The display can be flexibly adapted: The user decides whether only alerts with a specific tag or from a specific dashboard should be displayed. This makes it easier to focus on relevant information.

A particularly practical feature is the direct link to the widget in which the relevant alert was created. With just a click, the user can obtain detailed information without having to perform a lengthy search for the source.

The Alert List widget combines clarity with efficiency and ensures that users are always in control of their alerts.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS)

Powerful hardware and Smart Services are combined to provide a ready-to-use, scalable solution for the use of battery energy storage systems. This combination quickly and efficiently maximizes the benefits of energy storage systems.

The dashboards provide comprehensive insights into key health parameters, such as charging cycles, temperatures, and the general condition of the energy storage systems. In addition, detailed metrics regarding charge data, including the charge level, maximum charge, and capacities available for charging, are provided.

In the field of renewable energy, where electricity cannot always be fully fed into the grid, battery storage systems are crucial. Surplus energy can be stored temporarily and fed in at a later point in time to ensure grid stability. For maximum efficiency, a clear overview of energy generation and the storage status is required.

This overview is provided at the touch of a button – without the hassle of having to develop your own dashboards. Efficiency is increased and control over the energy systems is maintained at all times.

If the dashboards need to be extended and adapted with email notifications or other metrics, they can be saved in their own folders and the ready-made dashboards can be further optimized.

Time Series Data Service dashboard for a production example

Wind power

Monitoring wind turbine generators offers a wide range of advantages – from optimized operating time to improved planning of maintenance windows.

With the Time Series Data Service and the customizable dashboards, combined with reliable hardware from Phoenix Contact, wind farm operators can operate their systems more efficiently. For example, measuring icing on rotor blades prevents wind turbines from being shut down as a precautionary measure. If the measured value exceeds a defined threshold value, an automatic notification is sent and the system can be stopped to avoid damage.

In addition, monitoring the structural health of wind turbine generators enables more precise planning of maintenance windows. Another highlight of the Phoenix Contact solution is the measurement of lightning strikes, which enables damage to be detected at an early stage and measures to be taken more quickly.
With this comprehensive solution, Phoenix Contact supports wind farm operators in increasing operational efficiency while ensuring safety.
