Iris Summary ​

A short, cited, AI-labeled status summary of a tag folder, UDT instance, device, screen or alarm group, written by Iris.

In Studio ​

In Studio, double-click Iris Summary in the Components category of the Components panel. It is added to the open view, where you can drag it into place.

When to use ​

Use Iris Summary where an operator or engineer wants a plain-language "what is going on here" for a part of the plant. It reads only what the signed-in person could already read, always says it is AI-generated and not a safety function, and lists the data it sent to the model. A person without the AiUse capability sees "Iris is not available for this user" and nothing is requested.

Properties ​

PropertyTypeDefaultDescription
Summarizescreen, tagFolder, udtInstance, device, alarmGroupscreenWhat to summarize: screen (default), tagFolder, udtInstance, device or alarmGroup.
Scope idString(none)Which one: a tag-folder or UDT-instance path, a device name, an alarm group (a tag-path prefix; * is every alarm) or Project/Screen. Empty with screen means the screen the component sits on.
Auto-refresh (s, 0 = off, min 60)Number0Auto-refresh interval in seconds. 0 (default) means off: the operator presses Summarize. Any other value is raised to at least 60, because every summary is a model call.

Binding ​

This component has no single value binding.

No value binding and no writes: the component only asks for a summary. A button action "Summarize This Screen (Iris)" opens the same summary for the current screen.
