My Machines

Select Machines

About This Task

As an Operator, you can use the My Machines application to select machines from the list of machines accessible to you across a plant model. The selected machines are set as your user preferences in the Plant Applications Universal Client. The other applications in the Plant Applications Universal Client, such as Downtime Displays and Reports, display their application-specific data for only those machines that were set as your user preferences.
Note: Two user preferences are stored for a user. You can switch back to previous user preference using the Restore Previous Profile button.

When you load the My Machines application for the first time or if no machines are selected, in the Selected Machines section, the machines for which you have write access appear.

Procedure

  1. Select the relevant departments, lines and machines from the Departments, Lines and Machines boxes, respectively. The list of machines appears.
  2. Select the machines you want to set as your user preferences.
    Note: The values that appear in the Department, Line, and Machine boxes are based on the Production Units associated with an active Display for which you have write access. You can configure Production Units for a Display in the Plant Applications Administrator.
  3. Select Save.

    Based on machines selected in the My Machines application, application-specific data appears in the other applications. For example, in the Events page in the Downtime Displays application, the downtime records for the machines selected in the My Machines application appear.
