Horizontal rotational speed card with background

Who it’s for

Maintenance engineers, machine operators, and plant supervisors ask “can I see rotational speed status in a compact row layout?” The background variant adds a full-card color signal while keeping the compact horizontal footprint.

What it does

A device reporting rotationalSpeed = 1200 RPM renders the current value in a compact horizontal card whose entire background fills with the operating level color: blue for Low (below 500 RPM), green for Normal (500–1500 RPM), orange for Elevated (1500–3000 RPM), and red for High (above 3000 RPM).

• Full-card background color makes rotational speed operating level readable across a room without reading the number
• Compact horizontal layout fits more motors or drives per row than the standard card
• Shows one asset’s data per widget; add multiple widgets to monitor different motors or drives side by side

How to set up

Data keys

Key	Role	Type	Description
rotationalSpeed	Main value	Timeseries	Rotational speed in RPM; change the key name to match your device’s telemetry key

The widget ships with a simulated function datasource key labeled Rotational speed, 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 (RPM)	Level	Color
0–500	Low	Blue
500–1500	Normal	Green
1500–3000	Elevated	Orange
3000+	High	Red

How to customize

• To change the operating thresholds — edit Icon color ranges and Value color ranges; set the same boundaries in both so the icon and the number always agree.
• To change the background colors — edit the background color for each operating band in the widget settings.
• To rename the units label — change the Units field in the widget settings if needed.

Tips

• On a control room wall display, the colored background announces motor status from across the room while the horizontal format lets more drives fit in view simultaneously.
• Use this card when you need both a strong visual status signal and a dense multi-drive layout — for example, two rows of horizontal background cards covering all motors in a production area.
• Use consistent operating colors across all rotational speed widgets.
