6.1 Standard Pages
6.1.1 Overview of Standard Pages
Standard pages are pages with the most important data. They are created automatically by
Sunny Portal when your plant data is initially transmitted. The standard pages are saved in the
"Visualization" menu. Which standard pages are available for selection depends on the registered
device types. Standard pages can be modified (see Section 6.4 ”Changing/Deleting Page Contents”
(page35)). They can be recreated if they are erased or modified (see Section 6.1.2 ”Creating
Standard Pages” (page19)).
