Downtime captures time events when a plant is not producing or is producing below the target rate or quality specification.
Features and concepts
|
An overview topic of real downtime. |
|
|
An overview topic of virtual Downtime. |
|
|
You can submit virtual downtime record through web services. |
Configure Downtime module settings
Configure project-wide settings for Downtime on the Downtime configuration item.
|
Set up the Downtime configuration item. You will also need to define permissions. |
|
|
Configure the standard fields for the Downtime module. |
|
Configure the plant hierarchy
In addition to basic plant infrastructure, there are Downtime elements to configure that will record Downtime data.
|
The Downtime reporting point item is the main element for capturing Downtime data. |
|
|
A capture condition defines the condition that occurs to initiate a data capture. You can base a condition on period definitions; for example, per day or per shift, or on time events; for example, every 15 minutes, or every week. |
|
|
A split condition defines the conditions when Downtime events are automatically split into two separate events. |
|
|
A Downtime field defines what data to record. The properties of a field collect information such as location and duration of Downtime events. |
|
|
A Downtime evaluated field enables you to combine the values of other fields. |
|
|
A mask defines the condition when a Downtime event is a duplication of another Downtime event and therefore the data from one of the events is masked. The masked data does not contribute to overall data results. |
|
|
A business rule enables you to specify criteria to perform a validation process on data records. |
Add quality specifications
|
A threshold range defines the boundaries of multiple limits for acceptable ranges for data. |
|
|
A threshold value enables you to configure a Boolean value as a threshold. |
