Dynamic summarization of process data system and method

Abstract

Some embodiments include a system and method of providing a historian that receives operational state data from a device of an industrial process of a network, where the operational state data is stored as time-series data, and processing at least one data query from at least one user coupled to the network. Based at least in part on the at least one data query and at least one dynamic cycle, at least some of the time-series data is retrieved, where the dynamic cycle is based on at least one tag associated with the time-series data. Further, based at least in part on at least some of the time-series data, at least one graphical representation of one or more tags is displayed, where each tag of the one or more tags represents an attribute of at least one process associated with the at least one device.

         2 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one dynamic cycle comprises a cycle duration over which summarized tag data is provided to the at least one user. 
     
     
         3 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the graphical representation comprises at least one bar-chart. 
     
     
         4 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 3 , wherein the bar-chart includes tag data of at least one of a running process, a shutdown process, a jammed process, and an overheated process. 
     
     
         5 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one bar-chart includes a selectable time-span of tag data. 
     
     
         6 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 2 , wherein the summarized data includes a summarization of a plurality of tags over multiple states. 
     
     
         7 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 6 , wherein the states include two or more of “Running”, “Shutdown”, “Jammed”, and “Overheated”. 
     
     
         8 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one query includes tag details comprising the at least one tag. 
     
     
         9 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein the dynamic cycle is based on a value change of the at least one tag. 
     
     
         10 . A server system comprising:
 program logic tangibly stored on at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of a network, the network including at least one processor coupled to a historian, the historian configured to receive operational state data from at least one device of an industrial process of the network and store time-series data on the at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of a network, wherein upon execution of at least a portion of the program logic by the at least one processor, the at least one processor is configured to process steps of a method including:   providing a historian interface system comprising a graphical user interface (GUI) of a remote display device;   processing at least one data query from at least one user coupled to the network;   based at least in part on the at least one data query and at least one dynamic cycle, retrieving at least some of the time-series data, wherein the dynamic cycle is based on at least one tag associated with the time-series data; and   based at least in part on at least some of the time-series data, displaying at least one graphical representation of one or more tags, wherein each tag of the one or more tags represents an attribute of at least one process associated with the at least one device.   
     
     
         11 . The server system of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one query includes tag details comprising the at least one tag. 
     
     
         12 . The server system of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one dynamic cycle comprises a cycle duration over which summarized tag data is provided to the at least one user. 
     
     
         13 . The server system of  claim 12 , wherein the summarized data includes a summarization of a plurality of tags over multiple states. 
     
     
         14 . The server system of  claim 10 , wherein the dynamic cycle is based on a value change of the at least one tag. 
     
     
         15 . The server system of  claim 10 , wherein the graphical representation of one or more tags includes statistics of tag data selectable over a time-span of tag data based on at least one other tag data. 
     
     
         16 . The server system of  claim 10 , wherein the graphical representation comprises includes statistics of tag data of at least one of a running process, a shutdown process, a jammed process, and an overheated process.
