System Sensor Records

System Sensor records store information about a sensor that detects the failure of a piece of equipment or location and notifies Switches of the failure. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the System Sensor family. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields.

This family is enabled for site filtering, which means that records in this family can be assigned to a specific site, and will then only be accessible to users who are assigned to the same site and have the appropriate license and family privileges. See the Site Filtering section of the documentation for more information on using this feature.

Field Caption	Data Type	Description	Behavior and Usage
Activated Switches	Text	Identifies the switches that the sensor activates.	The Activated Switches cell contains a list of all Switch elements in the diagram. In the list, you can select a switch that the sensor activates. After you make your selections, the names of those Switch elements will appear in the Activated Switches cell. These values are stored as text in the Activated Switches field. This field appears in the Detail section.
Deactivated Switches	Text	Identifies the switches that the sensor deactivates.	The Deactivated Switches cell contains a list of all Switch elements in the diagram. In the list, you can select A switch that the sensor deactivates. After you make your selections, the names of those Switch elements will appear in the Deactivated Switches cell. These values are stored as text in the Deactivated Switches field. This field appears in the Detail section.
Description	Text	Any additional information about the sensor.	On the System Sensor datasheet, you can define this value manually by entering text in the Description box. This field appears in the General section.
GUID	Character	A value that uniquely identifies the record within a System Reliability Analysis.	This value is generated automatically by the GE Digital APM system and disabled. In System Reliability Analyses, GUIDs are used to identify records because Entity Keys will not exist until a record is saved. Because a System Reliability Analysis may contain unsaved records, it is necessary to use a value that uniquely identifies those records within the system. This field does not appear in the Properties pane.
Monitored Elements	Text	Identifies the Diagram elements that the sensor monitors.	The Monitored Elements cell contains a list of all elements in the diagram. In the list, you can select an element that a given sensor monitors. After you make your selections, the names of those elements will appear in the Monitored Elements cell. These values are stored as text in the Monitored Elements field. This field appears in the Detail section.
Name	Character	The name of the sensor.	This value is populated automatically with Sensor. You can define this value manually. This field appears in the General section.
