Process visualization with APG objects focuses the attention of the operator on the most important points and supports decision-making in accordance with the plant situation. It is based on data collected by the APG Connector block in the automation system. The APG objects can be connected to a process tag using the dynamic wizard.

The following functions are implemented in PCS 7 Advanced Process Graphics:

• Hybrid display with bar graph and process tag status information
• Spider chart with variable number of value axes
• Trend charts displayed in one screen, can be combined with bar graph
• "Loop in Tag" function for fast, targeted navigation
• "Group View" function for combination of process tags in a group view
• "Normalize" for normalizing a group of bar graphs or a spider chart to a single working point
