Summary:

This article describes how to modify properties, default feature sets, default trend alarm rules, data validation, and default fault frequency sets for all assets of a specific type.

Modifying an Asset Type

Modify properties, default feature sets, default trend alarm rules, data validation, and default fault frequency sets for all assets of a specific type.

  1. Click the Configuration button (noloc_env_config.png) and ensure that you are on the Asset Configuration page.

  2. Click the Action menu (noloc_env_action.png) and select Edit Asset Definitions.

  3. Select the asset type that you would like to edit.

  4. Select the tab within the asset type editor in which you would like to make changes.

    Note

    • The web application will automatically save and apply edits you make to the properties or data validation tabs to all existing and future assets of this type in your asset tree.

    • You need to select and toggle to default new or existing features to apply them to existing and future assets.

Editing the Behavior of an Asset Type

Edit how an asset type behaves in the web application.

  1. Click Configuration (noloc_env_config.png) to navigate to the Asset Configuration page.

  2. Click the Action menu (noloc_env_action.png) and select Edit Asset Definitions.

    • Enable operating state, speed reference, and streaming capabilities for an asset type.

      • Click the Edit button in the Capabilities field to see the configuration options for whatever capabilities are available for an asset type.

    • Define categories to describe an asset type.

      • Click the Edit button in the Categories field to display the Select Categories dialog box.

      • Add, remove, and reorder categories to describe the asset type.

    Note

    The categories assigned to a definition determine which capabilities are available for that asset type.

    • Define the kind of measurement you want the asset type to perform.

      • Place a checkmark in the Waveform or Single Point checkbox to indicate how you want the asset type to acquire data.

      • Use the Measurement Type listbox to specify the kind of measurement you want the asset type to perform.

    Note

    Note the kinds of measurements an asset of any type can perform are limited by the kind of channel to which the asset is assigned.

    • Add, remove, or edit asset types derived from a source asset type.

      • Use the Local Definition Types section to specify the asset types you want to be derived from the source and how many instances of the derived asset type a user can create.

    Note

    Only asset types with Local Scope enabled appear in the Type listbox.

    • Define a scheme for automatically creating unique names for derived assets when a user adds them on the Asset Configuration page.

      • In the Name Format field, enter a name that describes the asset type and include the variable {0} somewhere in the name.

    Note

    When a user adds an asset of this type, the web application automatically replaces {0} with the name of the source asset type. For example, if a user adds an asset type with a name format of {0} Double Integrated as a derived asset on an asset named Main Accelerometer, the web application automatically generates the name Main Accelerometer Double Integrated.

    • Specify what label the web application displays for the derived asset type.

      • Enter a value in the Label that describes the derived asset type and differentiates it from other derived assets.

    Note

    This is the label that appears on the Properties tab of any instance of the source asset on the Asset Configuration page next to the button for adding or removing the derived asset.
