Workplace Layout and Tools
Below is an overview of the screen layout of the Compact HMI 800 and a
description of available tools and their use.
The Operator Workplace window is divided into four main parts, all of which are
described in this section.
• Application bar. It contains information that must be present all the time,
regardless of what displays are shown. One example is the alarm line. Tools in
the application bar influence the system or handles aspect objects. Some of the
tools are very useful for navigating.
• Display bar. It influences the display area only and is the main area for
navigation between displays. It changes when the base display is changed.
• Display area. It is used to present the different types of displays.
• Status bar. The status bar contains information regarding the process control
system. The Status bar is not configured to be visible in the Operator
Workplace for the Compact HMI 800.
The Operator Workplace can be configured per user or user group, which means that
all users can have different or identical layouts according to their preferences.
