Defining equipment dependency relationship – An overview
An "Also Down" dependency can occur when a set of equipment function in a definite sequence, and the breakdown of an individual equipment in the sequence results in the shutdown of all the other equipment either preceding or following the equipment that has failed. The dependent equipment is defined as the “Also Down” equipment to the main equipment. For example, if a boiler is stopped, then other associated equipments such as pumps, soot blowers, ID fans, FD fans etc., will also be stopped. In this case though only one equipment is down, the others are also down as they are not significant when the main equipment is down.
In this page, you can specify the list of other related equipment that will be down when the equipment breaks down. You can define the dependent equipment for the equipment selected in the main page. The system also allows you to directly enter an equipment code, other than the equipment selected in the main page, and define the dependent equipment for it. You are provided with a help facility to select the dependent equipment. You can also enter any additional information relevant to the equipment dependency relationship.
