The Meter Module
Features and Functions
Meters might be manually updated, surveyed using batch data collection devices, or updated from PM or Process Control values. Any runtime or condition to be monitored may be created as a Meter Id. The Meter Id can retain the history of recorded values.
Metering points represent any value being recorded that is used to trigger PM tasks. Equipment may employ pressure, temperature, mileage, units produced, etc., as values that could trigger a PM.
Meters may be used to monitor assets such as plant equipment and, based upon specified values, may trigger PM jobs. For example, perform oil change every 3000 miles, perform rebuild every 10,000 hours, perform inspection when temperature exceeds 180 degrees F, etc.
