Split a Downtime Event

About this task

You can split a downtime event into multiple downtime events of equal or customized duration. Splitting an event allows you to add the reason for the downtime events that happened during the overall downtime duration.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Plant Applications Web Client.
  2. Select .
    The Events page appears, displaying a list of downtime events and their details.
  3. Access the required downtime events list.
  4. Select corresponding to a downtime event to split the downtime event.
    The Split page appears.
  5. In the Split page, enter the number of target downtime events and the option to split the duration.
    1. In the Split Durations section, select one of the following options:
      • Equally: The total duration of the selected source downtime event is equally divided into the duration of target downtime events.
        Note: If you select this option, you cannot modify the duration for downtime events later.
      • Manually: The total duration of the selected source downtime event is manually divided into the duration of new target downtime events.
    2. In the Number of Events box, select how many events you want to split the downtime event into, and then select Next.
      Note: You can split a downtime event to a maximum of six downtime events.
    The Split Event page appears.
  6. In the Split Event page, enter the duration and reason for the downtime.
    1. In the Duration column, enter a duration in the boxes corresponding to the time format hh:mm:ss.
      Note: You can enter the duration for target downtime events only if you selected Manually in the Split Durations section.
    2. In the Quick Pick column, you can select Top <number> to access the Top <number> Reasons menu, and then select a reason associated with a Fault Code.
      The <number> represents a numeric value ranging from 0 to 5, indicating the most frequently selected reasons for a downtime.
      Note: The values that appear in the L1, L2, L3, and L4 boxes for the levels of reasons are configured in the Plant Applications Administrator and are automatically populated, if available, based on the reason you select in the Top <number> Reasons menu.
      Tip: Alternatively, you can select a downtime reason in the L1 box, and then select the associated reason levels, if available, in the L2, L3, and L4 boxes.
    3. The information displayed in the Reason column depends on the configuration set for the CopyPaste Type site parameter in the Plant Applications Administrator.
      Note:
      The options for the CopyPaste Type site parameter are:
      • Reason only
      • Fault only
      • Both fault and reason

      For example, if the CopyPaste Type site parameter in Plant Applications Administrator is set to Reason only, then the fault is not displayed in the Reason column.

  7. Select Save to split the downtime event in the selected number of target downtime events.
