Profile Queries
Profile queries allow you to use your ARDI relationships as axes on your charts.
Basic Usage
The most common usage for profile charts is when you have several similar pieces of equipment doing a job side-by-side.
In the Optrix Blast Furnace demo, we have three natural gas valves next to one-another. There is a profile relationship between each of these, going from #1 to #3.
If we start at Natural Gas Valve #1, we can follow the Profile relationship to create a single line that contains values for each one of our three valves.
Although it's relatively trivial in this case where there are only three items, it can work with any length of relationship, returning hundreds of items in some cases.
Y Axis - Time
Profile relationships can also be used to generate heatmaps and trends of multiple lines across a profile.
By changing the 'Y-Axis' from None to Time, you get distinct series for each of the profile channels, over time.
This allows you to make line charts…
And if you select Time Series Buckets when creating a heat map, you can also create heat maps as well.
