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.
- If a value is entered for a condition parameter, a Condition Score will be calculated for the object. The
Condition Score and History can be found on the Asset Performance Details page.
