1. A method for dynamically generating or editing a plant dashboard via a graphical user interface (GUI) setup, the method comprising:
determining a type of a chiller plant through the GUI setup, the chiller plant having at least one chiller, at least one pump for pumping fluid, at least one load, and a fluid circuit for directing a flow of the fluid pumped by the at least one pump;
determining a configuration of the chiller plant through the GUI setup, the configuration including one or more configurations for the at least one chiller;
determining at least one component of the chiller plant through the GUI setup, the at least one component including the at least one chiller;
configuring parameters of the at least one component of the chiller plant through the GUI setup;
generating the plant dashboard including a plant control logic based on the type, the configuration, the at least one component, and the parameters of the at least one component of the chiller plant; and
operating the chiller plant based on the plant control logic,
wherein the one or more configurations for the at least one chiller include a single chiller configuration, a parallel configuration, a series configuration, a series pairs configuration, and a series parallel configuration.
