1 Overview BlueBox Control Center Software is a SCADA solution for the BlueBox system for process visualization in real time. Properties:

• extensive graphical representation of measured values and states of actuators • program call-up • definition of alarm values associated with the activation of programs and alerts • value transfer to a BlueBox • setting of actuators • multiple windows links

2 Installation The program is installed simultaneously at the BlueBox PC Software and BlueMon PC Software installation. If you have not installed the BlueBox Control Center Software, install the BlueBox/BlueMon PC Software again. But this time with checked box next to "Control Center Visualisation".

see manual BlueBox PC Software/ Appendix B - Installation of the BlueBox PC Software



3 Program structure The program creates .cc1-files. These files can have a integrated background image in the .jpg-format (see 3.4 System settings).

With intact connection with at least one sensor, here the time of the last transfer is shown.

On this window surface visualization elements (representations) of sensors and actuators can be positioned . These are assigned to a sensor, an actuator or BlueBox variable. In addition, programs can be executed via a visualization element, so you can, for example, open other cc1.-files from a .cc1-file and build nested multi window visualizations. Each visualization element has a separate window for the specific settings, called control window.

example control window: The menu language is set in the BlueBox SQL program.

see manual BlueBox PC Software/ 3.1 Language selection



4 Keyboard and mouse operation

• F4: Selection previous visualization element The previous visualization element is selected. The order is determined by the position of the ele-ments in the visualization window from top left to bottom right. Note that the reference point is the upper left corner of the visualization element. The corresponding control window appears .

• F5: Selection next visualization element The next visualization element is selected. The order is determined by the position of the element in the visualization window from top left to bottom right. Note that the reference point is the upper left corner of the visualization element . The corresponding Control window appears .

• F 12: Clear selection Deletes the selected visualization element. Note that the deletion can not be undone1.

• Ctrl + C Copies the selected visualization element to the clipboard.

• Alt + V Adds a clipboard copied visualization element into the window, all settings of the copied visualization element are taken with, except the sensor ID2.

• Ctrl+V Adds the settings of a clipboard copied visualization element into a selected element, all settings of the copied visualization element are taken with, except the sensor ID 2.

• Arrow keys Selected visualization element will be moved one pixel by pressing an arrow key.

• Left Mouse Button A selected visualization element can be positioned and scaled by holding down the left mouse button on the selection frame. Double-clicking with the left mouse button on the selection frame deselects . Visualization elements can be pushed out of their selection window into the window box with the left mouse button.

1 for example with Ctrl+Z 2 varies depending on the sensor/actuator type



5 Menu operation

5.1 Load file Loading a .cc1-file

5.2 Save file Saving a .cc1-file After the storage a grey circle and the file name appears in left of the title bar. Depending on the state the circle changes its color (see 5.6 Connect/Disconnect).

5.3 Program exit Exit the program Note that unsaved changes will be discarded without con-fimation.

5.4 System settings After the first call-up of the system settings a password must be entered. If you were given no other password, the password is "gosys". Background Picture: Input of the file path of the back-ground image (.jpg-file). Update interval: Input of the value transmission update interval in seconds



5.5 Setup add sensor/actuator Opens the window for the selection of visualization ele-ments for sensors and actuators∗. Furthermore you can also define three basic settings here: BlueBox: selection of a BlueBox Sensor: selection of a sensor of the selected BlueBox Variable: selection of a variable of the selected BlueBox An element is pushed with the left mouse button into the window box.

5.6 Connect/Disconnect Connects or disconnects the connection of sensors and actuators. Depending on the state of the connection the circle in left of the title bar changes its colour. grey circle ⇒ connection is disconnected red circle ⇒ connection is faulty green circle ⇒ connection is established

∗ and a label and a mute button



5.7 About Opens a window with program information.

5.8 Status ▶ BlueBox name or IP address [Active/n]

Allocated sensors and actuators are connected and active, n = number of all sensors/actuators of the BlueBox.

▶ BlueBox name or IP address [Closed] Allocated BlueBox is not connected.

▶ Sensor ID Sensor not found Allocated sensor is not connected.

6.2 Common sensor settings 6.2.1 Area Alarm

- Active activation/deactivation of the automatic alarm (true = enabled)

- AlarmResetOnClick from program version 3.7.3.0

true = The alarm will only reset by clicking on the visualization element. false = The alarm will only reset by exceeding or falling short of the alarm values.

- Execute Input of the file path of a program, automatically started when an alarm is trig-gered.

- MaxValue When this value is exceeded, the alarm is triggered.

- MinValue When this value is underrunned, the alarm is triggered.
