Adding Indicators to a Failure Record

From the failure record, you can view and compare indicator readings related to a failure. For example, if a failure occurs on a pump, you might wish to track the pump’s pressure readings recorded over time. The failure record contains readings taken before the failure occurred, readings taken after the failure is resolved, and all of the readings taken while the failure is open. You can view individual readings and a chart of the readings over time.

When a failure record is created in the process of acknowledging an alarm, the indicator that generated the alarm is copied to the failure record. When you select an asset’s failure mode when creating a failure record, any indicators assigned to the failure mode are copied to the failure record. You can also add indicators to the failure record, as explained in this topic.

For information about viewing indicator readings related to a failure, see Viewing the Indicators and Readings that Track a Failure.
