Read a one-line
The control-room schematic for your substation equipment, as current as the last SCADA ingest
One-Line Diagram presents what SCADA already reports at the substation — regulators, breakers, reclosers, transformers, and switches — laid out the way the control room sees them. Texture picks up new files within 15 minutes of delivery.
The one-line diagram shows what the RTUs last published at the substation. Downstream usage and voltage in Explore come from AMI summed beneath the element. If either is missing, see Troubleshoot missing data.
Open the diagram#
In Explore, select a source. In the detail panel, click One-Line Diagram.
The schematic opens as a large overlay, which you close with Escape or by clicking the backdrop. The panel behind it keeps its position.
If the panel reads No SCADA data available for this element, SCADA does not cover that part of the grid, and you can use Find and inspect an asset for meter-derived usage instead. A Failed to load SCADA data message indicates a load failure rather than an absence of coverage, so retry.
Read the schematic#
Click a piece of equipment to open a side panel containing that node's SCADA telemetry.
Charts appear only for the metrics a node actually reports, and typically cover power, current, voltage, tap position, frequency, and power factor.
Clicking a node opens its telemetry; it does not affect the map behind the overlay.
The schematic reflects the SCADA layout, which can differ from the GIS hierarchy described in Grid elements and hierarchy — both in how equipment is named and how it is grouped.
While the overlay is open, readings refresh automatically.
The diagram opens in the dark SCADA theme, and you can switch it to the light theme for a projector or a bright room. The surrounding interface and charts follow the diagram's theme rather than the rest of the dashboard.
Data Display#
On a source, the header switches between One-Line and Data Display.
Data Display presents the same SCADA feed in table form: columns are the instrumented devices, such as the regulator and each feeder, and rows are per-phase metrics grouped by type. Use it when you want to compare all feeders side-by-side or scan the full feed at a glance rather than clicking through the schematic. Rows with no data anywhere in the table are omitted.
The toggle appears only on a source, since other SCADA-covered elements have the schematic alone.
Open on a second screen#
Open in new window, the pop-out icon in the header, opens a copy of the view with no surrounding navigation that you can leave running on a second monitor. While live it refreshes automatically.
Anyone viewing that window must be signed in. If the session expires, logging back in returns them to this window rather than to the main dashboard.
Sending that window, or an Explore URL, is covered in Share grid data with your team.
