Enter Measurement
Explanation
This activity is used to enter the value that is obtained during the measurement
of the object. A measurement is carried out on a parameter that has previously
been entered for the object. You can also enter whether the measurement has
been carried out on a special test point defined for the object.
The measurements can be entered as the FULL reading
or DELTA reading in
Measurements for Object
page and
Measurements for Objects
page. The DELTA readings can only be registered for Accumulated type parameters.
In Measurements
for Objects page, it is possible
to register measurements on multiple objects/Test Points/Parameters at the same
time.
Note: In Ad hoc Work Reporting assistant, the obtained
measurement value for the object can be entered in the Measurements
step. Upon finishing the assistant, a work task created and the measurements
for the object will be updated.
Prerequisites
Before the measurement is entered, the following must have been completed:
- A test point and a parameter must have been connected to the object
on the Serial Object/
Functional
or Service Object page
in IFS/Equipment.
System Effects
- The object parameter is updated with the last measured value.
- If delta value is recorded, it is added to the previous
Recorded Reading and the new Recorded Value and Total Value are calculated.
- If the result of the measurement falls outside of the limits
defined for condition based PM generation,
it will also be displayed under the PM action to which the parameter
is connected.
- If two or more accumulated measurements are registered and a PM action
is registered, it generates a condition based forecast PM plan.
- If the measured value fails validation, the measurement is still saved,
but with the Preliminary Reading measurement type. This reading will
not be used to manage PM plans. It should be corrected before it can be
used.
- If the measured value of a limit parameter
which has Minimum/Maximum reading thresholds defined, is out of thresholds
a warning message is given and the user can decide whether to register that
measurement or not.
- If the particular object has been defined
as Update from Object
(Master) on the Testpoint/Parameter level of another object (Child) and
setup for measurement inheritance, the child inherits the delta value generated
on the master for an accumulated type parameter and the full measurement
of the master for a limit type parameter.
