Enter Parameter

Explanation

Use this activity to enter information on a parameter for the functional or serial object. You can then enter measurements on the object, and in this way, control preventive maintenance actions. You can enter previously defined test points on the object, and then link one or several parameters to them. The parameters can be used as criteria for generating PM actions.

Note: By default a Testpoint ID (*) will be available. Use this default test point id to register parameters on the Object, or create new test points if needed.

Prerequisites

• Information on the test point must have been entered in the Testpoints/Parameters tab. 
• Information on the parameter must exist in Maintenance Basic Data.
• Information on the unit must exist in Maintenance Basic Data.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, you can create criteria for condition-based PM generation, by linking parameters to PM actions. You can also enter results of measurements on object parameters.

Procedure

1. Open the Functional Object or the Serial Object window, click the Testpoints/Parameters tab and create a new record.
2. In the Test Point ID field, use the List of Values to select a suitable value.
3. In the Parameter ID field, use the List of values to select a parameter to be measured.
4. In the UoM field, use the List of Values to select a suitable unit for the parameter.
5. In the Criterion field, specify whether or not the parameter will be used as a criterion in condition-based PM action.
6. Save the information.
