Quick Start (5 Minutes)
This guide is for those opening the PlantPulse console for the first time. It takes you through the shortest path from login → system status check → data entry → operations, and links to detailed documentation for each step. If you need a full menu map, see Complete Menu Structure and Operational Flow.
0. Login
Access the console via a web browser.
| Access Type | URL | Audience |
|---|---|---|
| Web Console | http://[서버IP]/ (TLS is https://[서버IP]/) | General users · System administrators (ADMIN) — same address; visible menus differ based on role |
Log in with your account/password. For details on screen elements, auto-login, and menu differences by role, see Login. The console's common frame (top domain search, left-side menu) is described in Console Navigation and Common Screens.
1. Is Everything Operational? — The Dashboard
The first screen you see after logging in is Overview > Dashboard. Review the six KPIs at the top for an at-a-glance status check.
연결률 · 금일 수집 · 알람 · 가동률 · 가용률 · OEE
If you see an anomaly signal, go directly to the relevant screen → see Dashboard · Daily Statistics for details.
2. To Add New Data — Model → Connection → Verification
When adding a new site/line, you must register both the model and the connection together for the dashboard numbers to fill in.
| Step | Menu | What to Do | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|
| ① Register Model | Factory Model > Model / Asset / Tag | Register sites, zones, lines, equipment, and tags with standard IDs | Factory Model |
| ② Register Connection | Connectivity > Protocol | Connect data sources like OPC/PLC/DB/API to the site | Connection Management |
| ③ Verify Connection | Connectivity > Connection Status | Check status for Normal, Delayed, Anomaly, Disconnected, Not-Connected | Connection Status |
| ④ Verify Data | Data > Trend / Stream | Confirm that tag values are actually being recorded | Data Points |
If you only do step ①, the screen numbers will be empty. If you only do step ②, it's difficult to interpret which equipment/tag the data belongs to. Perform both together.
3. Frequently Visited Areas During Operations
| What You Want to Do | First Menu to Enter | Documentation |
|---|---|---|
| Analyze alarm causes | Alarm > Alarms | Alarms |
| Check status of specific equipment | Equipment > Equipment List | Equipment Management |
| Analyze OEE / RAM / EMS | ISO > ISO Analysis | ISO Data and Analysis |
| Automate event processing / external integration | Automation > Flow | Flow · EQL |
| Create field monitoring screens | Visualization > Canvas | Canvas |
| Check topics/standard paths | Standard > UNS | UNS |
| Platform status, accounts, settings | System > Monitoring / Security / Settings | System · Security Management |
The complete table of first-entry menus by scenario and the operational workflow diagram are in Complete Menu Structure and Operational Flow.
4. When You're Stuck
| Symptom | Where to Look First |
|---|---|
| Can't connect to the console | Check server IP, port (80), and firewall → Troubleshooting |
| Data isn't coming in | Connection Status → Edge → Data > Stream |
| Sudden surge in alarms | Alarms → narrow down by period/site/priority |
| Screen freezes or is slow | System Monitoring · Diagnostics |
