Horizontal rotational speed card
Who it’s for
Maintenance engineers, machine operators, and plant supervisors ask “what is the current rotational speed for this drive in a compact, row-friendly layout?” They need a single-value card that fits more assets across the same dashboard width.
What it does
A device reporting rotationalSpeed = 1200 RPM renders the current value in a compact horizontal card color-coded by operating level: 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).
- Compact horizontal layout fits more motors or drives per row than the standard card
- Live speed reading in RPM with color coding across four operating bands
- 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 card colors — edit the 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
- The horizontal card fits twice as many assets per row as the standard card — use it for a plant-wide motor status overview where screen space is limited.
- Stack horizontal speed and vibration cards in alternating rows to create a compact two-variable mechanical condition panel for each drive system.
- Use consistent operating colors across all rotational speed widgets.
