Use the drop-down list box to specify whether the value updated is an incremental value or a new value. The system provides the following options: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do not leave this field blank, if you are updating a consumption parameter. Leave the field blank, if you are updating a range or attribute parameter. The system leaves the field blank, by default. |
|
Date |
The date on which the value is updated (Date Format). Data entry in this field is mandatory if a time is entered in the “Time” field or if the “Reported Date” field is left blank. |
|
Time |
The time at which the value is updated (Time Format). Data entry in this field is mandatory, if you have specified a date in the “Date” field. |
Note: Ensure that the date and time entered here is not later than the current date and time and is later than the previous date on which the parameter has been updated for the equipment and inspection point.
|
Reported By |
The employee ID of the user who has reported the parameter values (Alphanumeric, 20). Ensure that the user has already been defined in the “Define Employee” activity of the “Resources” business component and is in “Current” status. |

|
Remarks |
Any additional information about the parameter value (Alphanumeric, 255). |
The system displays the following fields:
|
Parameter Value |
The value of the parameter before it was updated |
|
Last Update Date |
The date on which the parameter was last updated. |
|
Time |
The time at which the parameter was last updated. |
Click the “Update Parameter Values” pushbutton, to update the parameter values.
The system performs the following for a consumption parameter:
If the “Delta/New” drop-down list box is set to “New”, the system updates the already existing parameter value with the value entered in the “Value” field for the equipment –parameter – date – time combination.
If the “Delta/New” drop-down list box is set to “Delta”, the system adds the value entered in the “Value” field to the already existing value and sets that as the parameter value for the equipment – parameter – date – time combination.
The system updates the parameter values for the following:
|
|
all the formula based parameters, which refer to this parameter in the formula. |
|
|
for all child equipment in the equipment hierarchy having the parameter updation source as “Parent”. |
|
|
for all rotables that are attached to the equipment having the parameter updation source as “Parent”. |
Checks for existence of any usage based preventive maintenance schedules for the equipment. If the value of the parameter updated exceeds the 'Next Due Value' as per the scheduling options, a preventive maintenance work order will be generated.
Generates inspection orders and calibration orders based on the inspection schedules and the calibration schedules that have been defined for the equipment.
Refreshes fields in the multiline with the details of the update that is currently done on the parameter.
The system performs the following for a “Range” or “Attribute” parameter:
Updates the parameter value for an attribute parameter with the value entered in the “Value” field for the Equipment – Parameter – Date – Time combination.
If the parameter is of type “Range”,
|
|
Updates the parameter value for a Range parameter with the value entered in the “Value” field for the Equipment – Parameter – Date – Time combination. |
|
|
Updates the value of all the formula based parameters, which refer to this parameter in the formula. |
|
|
Generates the appropriate remedial action, such as raising of work orders based on the parameter value entered and the triggers defined. |
For more details regarding triggers defined for parameter values, refer the topic, “Defining predictive triggers”.
If the parameter is of type “Attribute”,
|
|
Updates the attribute parameter with the value entered in the “Value” field for the Equipment – Parameter – Inspection Point – Date – Time combination. |
|
|
Generates the appropriate remedial action, such as raising of work orders, based on the parameter value entered. |
|
|
If the parameter is a conditional parameter, then the system calculates the difference in duration between the last update and the current update in the value and updates the difference to the consumption parameter that has been attached to the attribute parameter. |
Refreshes the fields in the multiline with the details of the update that is currently done on the parameter.
Click the box in the “Select” column of the multiline, to view the other parameters that are affected by updating the parameter in the multiline.
To proceed, carry out the following
Select the “Affected Parameters” link in the bottom of the page to view the other parameters that are affected by updating the parameter on the date and time specified in the “Date” and “Time” fields in the multiline.
Update Parameter Log – An overview
This page allows you to update the values of a parameter for more than one equipment or location at the same time. You can select the equipment or location for which the parameter values must be updated by carrying out search based on the equipment or location, the description and the location of the equipment. You can retrieve parameters for which the source of updation has been specified as “Manual”.
You can update consumption parameters by entering the following details:
The value of the consumption parameter
Whether the value is an incrementing value or a new value
The date and time on which the value was updated
The log-in ID of the user who has updated the value
Any additional information about updating the value
The system updates the consumption parameters and also does the following:
Updates any formula based parameters which has the parameter that is updated as a reference.
Updates any child parameters that belongs to the parameter that is updated.
Generates preventive maintenance work orders, inspection orders and calibration orders based on the parameter value that has been entered.
You can update the range and attribute parameters by entering the following details:
The value of the range or attribute parameter
The date and time at which the parameter is updated
The employee ID of the user who has updated the parameter value
Any additional information about the parameter being updated
The system updates the range and attribute parameters and also does the following:
Updates any formula based parameters which has the range parameter that is updated as a reference.
Generates the appropriate action such as raising of work orders based on the parameter value that is entered.
If the attribute parameter is a conditional parameter, the system calculates the difference in the time between the current and the last update done on the parameter and updates this difference to the consumption parameter that has been attached to the attribute parameter.
