Condition monitoring involves using measurement points
to define acceptable ranges for meters on an asset or location. When
the meter readings exceed the acceptable range, then you can generate
work orders to address the situation.
Measurement points
When you inspect an asset or a location, you can record
and view the meter readings that correspond to measurement points
in the job plan of the associated work order. If the point on the
asset or the location on the work order correspond to the meter on
the job plan that you are adding to the work order, the point identifier
is inserted in the Measurement Point field
on the plan. If a measurement point identifier is used on the work
plan of a work order, you cannot delete the corresponding measurement
point record.
Work orders
You use the Condition Monitoring application to create
work orders that will correct alarm conditions.
Work order history
You use the History table on the Condition Monitoring tab
in the Assets application to view information about work orders that
you generated. Work orders listed in this table were generated using
the Condition Monitoring application only, and are listed in order
by effective date. You can modify the effective date when you use
the Generate Work Order option. The effective
date in the History table may not be the date and time the work order
was generated. If the preventive maintenance in the PM field
of the Condition Monitoring tab was part of
a preventive maintenance hierarchy when you used the Generate
Work Order option, you generated work orders for the entire
hierarchy. Only the work order generated for the preventive maintenance
in the PM field displays in the History table.
