System Condition Monitor Records

System Condition Monitor records store information about continuous, condition-based maintenance Actions. The following table provides an alphabetical list and description of the fields that exist for the System Condition Monitor family and appear by default on the System Condition Monitor datasheet. The information in the table reflects the baseline state and behavior of these fields. This list is not comprehensive.

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
Action Cost Number A numeric value that specifies the cost associated with any materials or personnel needed to complete the Action.

By default, this value represents a one-time expense that is incurred when the Action is started. This value is set to 0 (zero).

This field is available in the General section of the Properties pane.

Action Type Character The category into which the Action can be classified.

By default, this value is set to Condition-Based Maintenance (Predictive) (CM). After you create an Action, this field is disabled.

This field is available in the General section of the Properties pane.

Condition Monitoring Type Character A field that contains a value indicating whether the Action occurs continuously or periodically at regular intervals.

By default, this value is set to Continuous. After you create an Action, this field is disabled.

This field is available in the General section of the Properties pane.

Description Text A text field that stores any additional information about the Action.

You can enter text manually in the Description box.

This field is available in the General section of the Properties pane.

Detection probability (%) Number A numeric value representing the probability that the Action will identify a potential failure resulting from any Risk and correct that failure before it occurs.

By default, this value is set to 100 by default. For an Action with no assigned Risks, any value stored in this field will be ignored.

For example, a System Condition Monitor record with the Detection Probability value 50 has a 50% chance of identifying a potential failure resulting from a Risk. In other words, the Action will detect one out of two potential failures resulting from any Risks assigned to the Action.

This field is available in the Condition Monitor section of the Properties pane.

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 does not appear on the System Condition Monitor datasheet. In System Reliability Analyses, GUIDs are used to identify records because Entity Keys will not exist until a record is saved. Since a System Reliability Analysis may contain unsaved records, it is necessary to use a value that uniquely identifies those records within the system.

Name Character The name of the Action.

You can define this value manually. This value is used to identify Actions in the System Reliability Analyses. For example, the Name column appears by default in the Actions tab in the workspace and displays values that exist in the Name field to identify the System Action records that are displayed in the workspace.

This field is available in the General section of the Properties pane.
