Patent number: 7493310Abstract: A process plant data collection and viewing system uses a common or integrated navigational tree structure and one or more common display formats to enable a user to view, in a similar and consistent manner, information obtained from different applications or data sources within a process plant at any desired level of integration, even though the actual data from the multiple different data applications or data sources may be collected and organized in different manners by different data sources. Because a common visualization of information is provided at different levels of data integration, a user can easily navigate through the data stored in the database or collected by the different data sources at higher or lower levels of data integration without having to contend with or encounter multiple different viewing formats for the same type of data.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2003Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Inc.Inventors: Evren Eryurek, Stuart Harris, Scott N.
