Figure 3-1 - Monitor Points will allow you choose the different types of points you need to measure depending on the monitor class that you select.
Monitor Point
A monitor point represents a single reading that would be used to predict an asset’s failure before it occurs. When setting up a monitor point, the following data may be entered.
●Monitor Class - Choose the monitor class associated with this monitor point
●Monitor Point - Create the name of the monitor point.
●Units - The measuring format for the monitor point. Ex: Celsius or Fahrenheit for temperature.
●Display Order - The monitor points within a monitor class will be ordered using this value.
●Import Map - The monitor points within a monitor class will read from columns in the CSV file from left to right in this order when importing readings.
●Cformat - The format that the monitor point comes out as. “XX” means 2 digits.
●Lreadonly - Allows the field to be read-only when entering monitor points.
●Export Label - The exported Condition Monitoring file will label this monitor point with this value. Must be 10 characters or less with no spaces or special characters. (examples: !@#$%)
●Lower Bound - The lowest acceptable value for a reading to not trigger an exception.
●Lower bound text - The text that appears when a reading below the lower bound value is recorded.
●Lower bound color - The background color of lower bound exceptions.
●Lower bound trigger - Enables or disables the monitoring of the lower bound information for this monitor point.
●Upper bound - The highest acceptable value for a reading to not trigger an exception.
●Upper bound text - The text that appears when a reading above the upper bound value is recorded.
●Upper bound color - The background color upper bound exceptions.
●Lower bound trigger - Enables or disables the monitoring of the upper bound information for this monitor point.
●Default Values - The default value that appears in the point when entering readings.
●Dropdown Values - Allows a list of values to be chosen from a dropdown lookup when entering readings.
●Field Type - The type of values this monitor point will hold. C = Character, M = Multi-line Text, D = Date, N = Numeric.
●Related Key - Holds the Unique ID of the field’s Data Dictionary record that you would like to update on a reading outside of the desired threshold.
●Related Key Fail Value - Value you would like stored in the related field when an exception occurs.
●Related Key Pass Value - Value you would like stored in the related field when no exceptions occur.
●Related Key Fail Message - Messaging you would like displayed to the user immediately upon entering a reading which would cause an exception.
●Lower Value Formula - This field can handle the calculation of expressions and may reference values saved on the asset record. If it is filled in, it will override the value in the Lower bound field above.
●Upper Value Formula - This field can handle the calculation of expressions and may reference values saved on the asset record. If it is filled in, it will override the value in the Upper bound field above.
●Grid Width - This field can be used to define the width of the monitor point’s column in the Add Reading interface. If this value is left at 0, the width will be 90 pixels.
