Pressure progress bar with background
Displays fluid pressure reading as a horizontal progress bar with background. Allows to configure value range, bar colors, and other settings.
Who it’s for
Process engineers, plant operators, and maintenance technicians ask “can I see pressure position within its operating range?” The background variant adds a full-card color signal for wall-mounted displays.
What it does
A device reporting pressure = 8 bar renders a horizontal bar filled to 32% of the 0–25 bar range on a card whose entire background fills with the operating level color: blue for Low (below 5 bar), green for Normal (5–10 bar), orange for Elevated (10–15 bar), and red for High (above 15 bar).
- Full-card background color makes fluid pressure operating level readable across a room without reading the number
- Horizontal progress bar shows position within the 0–25 bar operating range
- Shows one sensor’s data per widget; add multiple widgets to monitor different lines or vessels side by side
How to set up
Data keys
| Key | Role | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
pressure | Bar value | Timeseries | Fluid pressure in bar; change the key name to match your device’s telemetry key |
The widget ships with a simulated function datasource key labeled Pressure, so it draws random values until you point the datasource at a device and rename the key.
To point it at your own device: open the dashboard in edit mode, open the widget’s Datasources, pick the entity or entity alias, and replace the function key with the key your device reports.
Value ranges
| Range (bar) | Level | Color |
|---|---|---|
| 0–5 | Low | Blue |
| 5–10 | Normal | Green |
| 10–15 | Elevated | Orange |
| 15+ | High | Red |
How to customize
- To change the operating thresholds — open the widget settings and adjust the band boundaries.
- To change the background colors — edit the background color for each operating band in the widget settings.
- To change the bar range — adjust the minimum and maximum values in the widget settings to match your system’s pressure range.
Tips
- On a control room wall display, the colored background announces pressure status from across the room while the bar shows the exact fill level.
- Use this card when the dashboard is viewed from a distance, such as a mounted monitor in a pump room or process control area.
- Use consistent operating colors across all fluid pressure widgets.
