Attaching parameters to the equipment

This page allows you to attach parameters for the equipment that is created. Tell me more.

Select the “Equipment Parameter” link at the bottom of the “Create Equipment” page.

The “Equipment Parameter” page appears.

Eqp.	The equipment for which you wish to attach parameters (Alphanumeric, 30).
Type	The type of the equipment, which can be “Normal”, “Tool” or “Rotable”.
The system lists in the “Parameter” multiline, the parameters belonging to the “Classification – SubClassification” that has been attached to the equipment,. You can attach more parameters by entering the following field in the multiline.
Parameter	The parameter to be attached to the equipment (Alphanumeric, 30) Mandatory. Ensure that the parameter is already defined in the “Create Parameter” activity and is in “Active” status.
	Help facility available
	Press <Enter>. The system displays the “Type” and “UOM” fields in the multiline:
The system displays the following fields in the multiline:
Type	The type of the parameter, which can be “Technical”, “Attribute”, “Consumption” or “Range”.
UOM	The unit of measurement of the consumption or range parameter.

Enter the following multiline fields:

Hourly Usage	The estimated hourly consumption of the parameter (Decimal). Ensure that the value is positive.
Present Value	The current value of the parameter (Alphanumeric, 30).
Date	The date on which the present value of the parameter is recorded (Date Format). Ensure that the date is not greater than the current system date. If you leave the field blank, the system sets the field to the current system date.
Time	The time at which the present value of the parameter is recorded (Time Format).
Seq. No.	A unique number that identifies the order in which the parameters must be displayed in the multiline (Integer). Ensure that the sequence number is a positive integer.
	If you leave the sequence number blank for all the multiline rows, the system automatically assigns a sequence number to each of them, in multiples of five, on clicking the “”Attach Parameter” pushbutton.

Note: If you have left the sequence number blank for some of the multiline rows, the system arranges those rows in the order in which the parameters have been entered in the multiline, and numbers these rows to be the last in the sequence. The system then rearranges the rows in the ascending order of the sequence number and renumbers the rows with multiples of five.

Remarks

Any additional information regarding attaching the parameter to the equipment (Alphanumeric, 150).

Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline, to mark the parameters for deletion or to select attribute parameters for defining the values.
Click the Delete icon in the tool bar above the multiline, to delete the selected parameters.
Click the “Attach Parameter” pushbutton, to attach the parameters to the equipment.

The system displays the following fields in the “Record Statistics” group box:

Created By	The login ID of the user who attached parameters to the equipment.
Created Date	The date and time on which the user has attached the parameters to the equipment.

To proceed, carry out the following

Select the “Attribute Parameter Values” link at the bottom of the page, to define values for the attribute parameters attached to the equipment.

Select the “Attach Inspection Points” link at the bottom of the page, to attach inspection points to the parameters of the equipment.
Select the “Change Parameter Source” link at the bottom of the page, to change the source from which the parameters must be updated.
Select the “Define Parameter Relationship” link at the bottom of the page, to define the relationship between parameters.

Attaching parameters to the equipment – An overview

Parameters are certain attributes defined for the equipment, which help in monitoring the condition or usage of the equipment. You can attach parameters that are already defined in the “Create Parameter” activity.

If you have already attached a parameter group to the equipment in the “Equipment Creation” page, the system displays the parameters belonging to the group, in the multiline. You can attach more parameters to the equipment by entering the parameter, the present value of the parameter and the date and time at which the present value of the parameter is recorded. You can also specify the estimated hourly consumption of the parameter, the sequence in which the parameters must appear in the multiline and any other additional information relevant to the parameter.

You can also modify or delete parameters that are already attached to the equipment.

Prerequisite

Create Parameter.
