Redefining location parameters

This page allows you to redefine the parameters that are attached to the location. Tell me more

Select the “Attach Parameters” link at the bottom of the “Edit Location” page.

The “Update Location Parameters” page appears.

If you wish to attach parameters to a location other than the location entered in the previous page, enter the following field:

Location	The location to which parameters must be attached (Alphanumeric, 30).
	Press <Enter>. The system retrieves the details of the parameters already attached to the location. The description of the location is retrieved alongside.
	Zoom facility available.

The system displays the following fields in the “Already Attached Parameters” multiline:

Parameter	The parameters attached to the location.
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.
Source	The source from which the parameter must be updated.

Enter the following field in the multiline:

Hourly Usage

The estimated hourly consumption of the parameter (Decimal). Ensure that the value is positive. If you leave the field blank, the system sets this field to zero.

The system displays the following multiline fields:

Present Value	The current value of the parameter.
Date	The date on which the present value of the parameter is recorded.
Time	The time at which the present value of the parameter is recorded.

Enter the following fields in the multiline:

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 “Edit” 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 modifying the location parameter (Alphanumeric, 150).
Formula	The formula that is associated to the parameter (Alphanumeric, 150). You can specify a formula only for a parameter that is of type “Range” or “Consumption” and whose source of updation is “Formula”. On specifying a formula ensure that, the formula is already defined in the “Create Formula” activity of the “Formula Builder” business component and is in “Active” status formula does not contain the parameter to which is it getting attached to (i.e.) the parameter displayed in the “Parameter” field.
	Help facility available.
	Press <Enter>. The “Formula Content” field is displayed in the multiline.

The system displays the following field:

Formula Content

The content of the formula entered in the “Formula” field.

Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline, to mark the parameter for deletion, or to select the attributer parameter for defining its values.
Click the Delete icon in the tool bar above the multiline, to delete the parameters that are marked for deletion.

Note: Ensure that the parameter is not defined as the life parameter. Also ensure that values of the parameter have not been recorded to parameter history.

Enter the following fields in the “New Parameter” multiline:

Parameter	The parameter to be attached to the equipment (Alphanumeric, 30) Ensure that the parameter is already defined in the “Create Parameter” activity and is in “Active” status. Also ensure that the parameter is unique for the equipment.
	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). Ensure that you enter a numeric value for a range parameter. Also ensure that the value is greater than zero, if you are entering a consumption or range parameter. Help facility available.
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.
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 “Edit” pushbutton.

Remarks

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

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

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

Created By	The login ID of the user who created the location.
Created Date	The date and time at which the location was created.
Last Modified By	The login ID of the user who last modified the location.
Last Modified Date	The date and time at which the location was last modified.

To proceed, carry out the following

Select the “Attach Inspection Points” link at the bottom of the page, to attach inspection points to the parameters of the location.
Select the “Update Attribute Values” link at the bottom of the page, to define values for the attribute parameters attached to the location.
Select the “Change Parameter Source” link at the bottom of the page, to change the source from which the parameters must be updated.

Redefining location parameters – An overview

This page allows you to redefine the parameters that are attached to the location selected in the “Edit Location” page. The system also allows you to directly enter a location code, other than the location selected in the “Edit Location” page, and re-define its parameters.

The system displays the parameters that are already attached to the location. You can specify the following details for these parameters:

The hourly usage of the parameter
The sequence number in which the parameters would be displayed in the multiline
The formula that must be associated to the parameters whose source of updation is formula.

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.

Note: The source for updation for all newly attached parameters is “Manual”.

You can also delete the parameters that are already attached to the location.

Prerequisite

“Create Parameter” under the “Equipment Induction” business component.

What you can do in this page

Attach parameters to the location

You can attach parameters to a location to monitor the condition of the location.

Enter the parameter to be attached, in the “Parameter” field in the “New Parameter” multiline.
Click the “Edit” pushbutton, to attach the parameter to the location.
