Use this activity to create a new parameter, e.g., pressure, temperature, oil level.
Parameters are connected to objects and are used for criteria based PM actions. When a measured value has been entered against a parameter, and the value surpasses a certain limit defined on a PM action, a work order will be generated from the PM action when running the Criteria Generation job.
Each parameter must have a type of either Accumulated or Limit. The Accumulated type is used to specify a cumulative value, for example operation time. The Limit type is used to specify a maximum and/or minimum value, for example pressure, temperature, water flow, oil level etc.
Each parameter must have the requirement for a Meter ID specified. Mandatory is used to ensure a Meter ID is always recorded with a measurement. Optional allows for a Meter ID to be recorded, but is not mandatory. Not Used removes the requirement for an ID - an ID cannot be recorded. Once a Meter ID has been recorded against an object parameter, it can only be changed using the Meter Change process.
N/A
As a result of this activity, a new parameter is created and you can make entries with parameters on equipment objects, PM actions, and measurements.
