This page allows you to define relationships between consumption parameters and attribute parameters. Tell me more.
Select the “Define Parameter Relationship” link at the bottom of the “Equipment Parameter” page.
The “Define Parameter Relationship” page appears.
Enter the following field, if you wish to define parameter relationships for an equipment other than the equipment selected in the previous page:
|
Eqp. |
The equipment for which parameter relationships must be defined (Alphanumeric, 30). |
|
Press <Enter>. The system retrieves the “Type” field. The system also retrieves in the “Parameter” multiline, the parameters that are attached to the equipment. The description of the equipment is displayed alongside. |
|
|
|
Zoom facility available. |
|
The system displays the following field: |
|
|
Type |
The type of the equipment, which can be “Normal”, “Rotable” or “Tool” |
The system displays the following fields in the “Parameter” multiline:
|
Consumption Parameter |
The parameter for which relationship must be defined. |
Note: You can define parameter relationship for a consumption parameter whose source of updation is defined as “Parameter”.
|
UOM |
The unit of measurement of the consumption parameter. |
Enter the following fields in the multiline:
|
Calculation UOM |
Use the drop-down list box to specify the unit of measurement, which can be used for calculation. The system provides the options “Hours”, “Minutes” and “Days”. The system leaves the field blank, by default. |
|
Attribute Parameter |
The attribute parameter, which is related to the updation of the consumption parameter (Alphanumeric, 30). Ensure that the parameter is already defined in the “Create Parameter” activity and is in “Active” status and is attached to equipment. |
|
|
|
|
Inspection Point |
The inspection point that is attached to the attribute parameter. The updation of the consumption depends on the parameter value on this inspection point (Alphanumeric, 30). Ensure that the inspection point is already defined in the “Create Inspection Point” activity and is attached to the attribute parameter of the equipment. |
|
|
|
|
Value |
The value of the attribute parameter based on which the consumption parameter must be updated (Alphanumeric, 30). Data entry in this field is mandatory, if a parameter is entered in the “Attribute Parameter” field. Ensure that the value is already defined for the attribute parameter in the “Define Attribute Parameter Values” page. |
|
|
|
|
Remarks |
Any additional information about defining the parameter relationship (Alphanumeric, 25). |
Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline, if you do not wish to define relationship for the consumption parameter.
Click the Delete icon in the tool bar above the multiline, to delete the selected parameters.
Click the “Edit” pushbutton, to define the parameter relationship.
The system displays the following fields in the “Record Statistics” group box:
|
Created By |
The login ID of the user who created the equipment. |
|
Created Date |
The date and time on which the equipment was created. |
|
Last Modified By |
The login ID of the user who last modified the equipment. |
|
Last Modified Date |
The date and time on which the equipment was last modified. |
Defining parameter relationship – An overview
The relationship is defined to indicate that the consumption parameter must be updated based on the value of the attribute parameter.
Consider the following example:
Consumption Parameter – Run Hours
Attribute Parameter – Equipment State, which can take the values “On” or “Off”.
Suppose the equipment is in “On” state from 9 am to 10 am and is in “Off” state from 10 am to 11 am. The number of hours that equipment is in the “On” state is calculated by the system and the consumption parameter “Run Hours”, is updated by the equipment as 1 hour.
You can define the equipment relationship by specifying the attribute parameter, and the value of the attribute parameter based on which the consumption parameter must be updated. You can also specify the unit of measurement, which can be used for calculation purposes.
Define relationship between consumption parameters and attribute parameters
Define relationship between consumption parameters and attribute parameters
Enter the attribute parameter based on which the consumption parameter would be updated, in the “Attribute Parameter” field in the multiline.
Enter the inspection point of the attribute parameter in the “Inspection Point” field.
Enter the value of the attribute parameter based on which the consumption parameter will be updated in the “Value” field.
Set the “Calculation UOM” field in the multiline to “Hours”, “Minutes” or “Days”, which will be used for calculation purposes.
Click the “Edit” pushbutton, to define parameter relationship.
