Test Points and Parameters

Note: IFS Racing focuses on preventive maintenance. Management has decided to monitor your PM-312-PA-101 Pulp Pump 1. It is your job to enter the appropriate test points and parameters. 

  1. Open the Functional Object window, and click the Test Points tab.
  2. Enter an optional test point and description. Specify where this test point on the equipment object is located.
  3. If you enter test point values on this tab, you can link them to parameters on the Parameters tab. In this case, vibration parameter will be used as the criterion for generating work orders. 

Note: New parameters are entered in the Maintenance Basic Data window.

  1. You can specify whether a parameter will be used as a criterion in IFS/Preventive Maintenance (PM). If Yes is selected in the Criterion field, the criteria must be defined for separate or route PM action.
