Creating OEE Trend and Energy Usage Graphs in Perspective – Request for Guidance and Properties

[chandana.k]

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a machine monitoring dashboard in Ignition Perspective and would like to implement two key visualizations:

1. OEE Trend Graph – to display OEE percentage over time
2. Energy Usage Graph – to visualize energy consumption trends

I’ve seen similar implementations in other dashboards and would like to know:

• Is it feasible to build these types of trend graphs using Perspective components (e.g., Time Series Chart, XY Chart, or Power Chart)?
• If anyone has already created something similar, could you kindly share the component type used and the relevant props configuration or property list
  
  
  
  ?

Any tips on best practices for binding historical data, configuring axes, or styling these charts would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your support!

Best regards, Chandana

Regarding the energy monitoring, I recommend creating a scheduled gateway task to log the meter readings on the hour and every 15 minutes or 30 minutes to suit your requirements. See Calculate difference in Tag History for more.
