Fault
Introduction
Using fault designer you can:
- Create fault combinations for all asset types in one go, and filter asset types to get an overview of which asset types you have not yet created fault combinations for.
- Link fault causes and fault remedies to asset type.
- Prerequisites
You have set up asset types in Asset management.
You use fault management in Asset management.
Create Asset Type Fault Combinations
You have the possibility to easily create fault combinations, as well as update fault combinations for all asset types. When using the functionality 'Create fault combinations' all previous faults set up for an asset type are deleted, and all possible fault symptoms, fault areas, and fault types are added.
Create fault combinations on all asset types by going to:
- Asset management > Setup > Fault > Fault designer.
- If you have not yet set up fault data on asset types, refer to Microsoft documentation: Set up the fault designer and create a setup for one asset type.
- Select the Create fault combinations button.
- In the Asset type drop-down, select the asset type from which you want to copy the fault combination setup.
- Select the Update all asset types toggle button to show 'Yes'.
- Select OK. A message is then shown in the Action center when all asset types have been updated.
- Repeat steps 1-5 to update other asset types.
Filter Asset Types Without Set Up
On the Fault designer form, you can filter all asset types without fault combination setup to quickly get an overview of any new asset types to be set up. See screenshot 01 below.
Link Fault Causes and Fault Remedies to Asset Type
It's possible to link fault causes and fault remedies to asset type.
When registering faults in the 'Asset faults' page, you can select those fault causes and fault remedies that have been set up on asset type of the selected asset. This ensures that only relevant and asset-specific fault causes and fault remedies are available for selection.
If no fault causes and fault remedies have been set up, you can select all fault causes or fault remedies in the system.
You can speed up the process of setting up fault causes and fault remedies on asset type by using the 'Create fault combinations' and 'Copy from asset type' functionalities in the 'Fault designer' page.
Examples
You can see some examples of fault causes and fault remedies on an asset type in screenshot 01 below. In the list to the left in the screenshot, you can also see an overview of the faults set up for the asset. The format for the faults overview is: symptoms/areas/types/causes/remedies and in the example in the list, you can see that the Air Compressor has 24 fault symptoms, 4 fault areas, 6 fault types, 5 fault causes, and 3 fault remedies.
