Abstract

In a display method and a display unit, information which is required or often used by an operator is processed visually conspicuously by enlarged display or colored display in accordance with historical data such as the past running conditions of the plant, the number of times of operations by an operator, the frequency of operations, and so on, and the processed information is displayed on the display unit. The use of historical data permits an operator to readily recognize which equipment is in most need of attention due to repeated problems in the past.
