Overview
The Overview page is displayed after the user logs into the Fieldgate or can be called by clicking on
Overview
in the navigation bar. It contains information about the devices connected to the
Fieldgate and can be configured according to user specifications in administration mode. The
configuration is made in various setup dialogs which are described in this chapter as follows:
• Chapter 6.4.1: Opening the setup dialogues
• Chapter 6.4.2: Analog input
• Chapter 6.4.3: Binary input
• Chapter 6.4.4: Description/Range/Limit/Alarm
• Chapter 6.4.5: Sensor error
Note!
• You cannot change device parameters with the Fieldgate Web Server. This requires the help of
a configuration tool, e.g. FieldCare, that uses Fieldgate as a pass-through interface
• Tags can be set for the digital and analog inputs in the appropriate setup and for Fieldgate
"board temperature" and "5V supply" in a separate Tag Setup dialog. The tags for HART devices
are read directly from the devices.
