3.1 Meters and Meter Groups Flashcards
What is the Meters application used for?
Add/modify meter definitions
Meter definitions
names, and sets of attributes to describe meters
usage of Meters
track asset or location performance
True/False: An asset or location can have only 1 meter associated with it
False: An asset or location can have multiple meters associated with it
True/False: the same meter can be used more than once on the same asset or location
True
List applications where meters reflect logical meters
Meter Groups
Assets
Locations
Preventive Maintenance
Job Plans
Item Master
Condition Monitoring
logical meter
meter reading - not necessarily physical meter
supported meter types
Continuous
Gauge
Characteristic
Continuous Meter
cumulative
measures consumption or accumulation
tracks (examples) miles, hours, engine starts, pieces produced, fuel consumed
gauge meter
shows range of values such as: fuel levels, temperature, pressure, noise level, oil level
How are gauge meters recorded
condition monitoring points
characteristic meters
observational in nature
have a list of possible values
track things such as: noise level, vibration level, clarity, color
how are characteristic meters recorded?
condition monitoring points
What type(s) of meters are used in the Preventive Maintenance application?
Continuous meters only
Meter Groups application
used to define a logical grouping of meters that comprise a meter group
what do meter groups represent?
collection of meters used together numerous times
what type of meters can be part of meter groups
continuous
gauge
characteristic
usage of meter group
add multiple meters to an asset or location at once
True/False: meters cannot be added or removed from a meter group once it is defined
False: Once meter groups are defined, meters can be added or removed from a group
Conditions in which meter group information is copied to a record
- An item assembly structure containing rotating items that have meter groups is applied to an asset or to a location record.
- The asset or the location record includes a rotating item number that has a meter group.
- A non-rotating asset or location record is created, and a meter group is specified on the Asset tab of the Assets application.
True/False: Multiple meters of the same name cannot be added to a meter group
True
How to track readings for multiple meters of the same type for an asset
Create unique meter names for each meter
