Mobile Operations

About Mobile Operations

Mobile Operations is an Edgenius hosted application enabling operators, engineers and maintenance users to access process and alarm data from ABB’s Distributed Control System (DCS) on the move on their personal smart phone devices. Mobile users have an improved visibility of device status and awareness of the critical issues in the plant regardless of their location.

Values are received from the connected ABB DCS in near real-time. A trim curve visualizes the changes of a process value over time. Most frequently used DCS objects can be easily retrieved from a list of recent items or can be added to favorites. The App includes faceplate view, alarm list and alarm notifications with sharing functionality to support field operators making decision anywhere anytime.

- Visualization of binary, analog values and complex objects with multiple properties
- Object search with autocomplete
- Trim curve with quality indication
