Signal Model
A dashboard item that lists each equipment model with the machines, plants, signals and units its one definition covers, and how many arrived lately.
The Signal Model item shows how far each equipment model reaches. An equipment model is the definition a type of machine shares, such as a device profile: one row per model, with the machines and plants that use it and the signals it defines.
- Header. How many equipment models there are, how many machines use them, how many plants they span, how many signals the model holds in all, and the share of those signals that arrived recently.
- Row. The model, how many machines use it and at which plants, how many signals it defines and their units, and the share of its signals that arrived recently. Same on every machine means each machine carries every signal of the model; otherwise the row says how many machines are complete.
The models used by the most machines come first. Select a model to filter the other items of the dashboard by it.
