Hi All,
Question about setting a structure of connected objects ‘Out of Operation’.
We have various methods of connecting our Functional and Serial Objects:
- Main Structure (‘Function’ = Parent / Child connection)
- Additional Structures (Location /From / TO / Process / Process / Pipesystem / Electrical)
- Connected Objects
With the Main structure we can set the Operational Status of the entire Parent-Child tree to ‘Out of Operation’ using the action button ‘Operational Status’ > ‘Set Structure Out of Operation’
When I check the other Object Structures, that function does not seems to be present. I can set the selected Object in ‘Out of Operation’, but to disable the objects connected through the ‘Electrical’ structure, I need to select them as well and click ‘Out of Operation’ again. And if I want to continue down the path I have to click ‘Next level’ to go deeper into the structure.
Is there no option to set the entire structure to ‘Out of Operation’?
When I take it when step further and check the ‘Connected Objects’, there seems to be even less options available to easily shut down a structure of (parallel) interconnected objects.
Reason I am asking is to find a very easy way to set a large production stream on the correct Operational Status. For example: if a Junction box is being maintained and set ‘out of operation’, the electrical connected Motor(s) need to go into ‘Out of Operation’, and with them, also all the conveyor belts that were operated by those motors and that in turn should trigger the maintenance team to check/replace possible conveyor belts while they our out of operation anyway…
So basically I went the entire electrical structure in ‘Out of operation’ without going into ‘next levels’.
What are the different options we have here?
Going 1 step further - assume a circuit breaker is powering a pump for a central cooling system. When that circuit breaker fails, the cooling circuit will no longer be cooling and all connected systems might be overheating. I want to easily (and quickly) identify all equipment that needs to be shut down as well, before any overheating alarms start sounding on individual machines.
The fact that the Circuit breaker has an electrical connection to the pump, and the pump has Connected Objects (the machines that require cooling). that would/should be possible right? Is there an out-of-the-box method for identifying this?
Best Regards
Roel
