Operator Data Interface Configuration


The first time the Operator Data Interface is opened the Host Name and/or the configuration page will be displayed. If there is more than one DX Service defined in the account, or if ODI is being used from one of the DataXchange applications, then the Host name for the DX Service must be selected. Either a host name or an IP address can be entered for the Host Name*. 



The configuration page is used to select the equipment for the associated PC or tablet. The order of the equipment can be changed by dragging equipment within the Selected grid.  The selected equipment will be visible on the associated device regardless of which user is logged into ODI.



The following settings are available on the configuration page:


Setting

Description

Equipment Overlay

The Equipment Overlay enables the automatic switch to the Overlay View. If enabled the screen will automatically switch to the Overlay View after a certain amount of time of no user activity with ODI.

Equipment Overlay Idle Time(s)

The amount of time in seconds of no usage of ODI before automatically switching to the Overlay View. This setting is not used if the Equipment Overlay is disabled.

Equipment Overlay as the Initial Screen

The Equipment Overlay view will be shown immediately after a successful login.

Suppress Messages

ODI has the ability to receive messages from DataXchange. If ODI is used as a dashboard rather than having an operator interact then the messages should be suppressed.

Equipment Sorting

When Equipment Sorting is disabled the equipment will be presented in the order in which they were setup on the configuration page. When sorting is enabled the equipment will automatically be sorted by General Equipment Status. Unplanned Downtime will be first, then Unknown Downtime, Planned Downtime, then In Cycle.

Refresh Rate(s)

The Refresh Rate is the pace in seconds at which ODI will refresh with new data. On slow network connections the refresh rate can be slowed to improve performance.



*The Host Name screen can be accessed at any time after logging in by pressing the menu button.
