Creating/Changing Maint. Cycles in MultCntr Plans

Use

If you want to create or change maintenance cycles in a multiple counter plan, the procedure differs from that used for performance and counter-based maintenance plans.

In performance and counter-based maintenance plans, you define maintenance cycles using the maintenance packages that you create in the maintenance strategy . However, since no maintenance strategy is assigned to a multiple counter plan, you must create or change the maintenance cycles directly in the multiple counter plan. This also applies to multiple counter plans that you have created using a cycle set as a copy model. You can transfer or delete copied cycles.

Prerequisites

You must be in the Create or Change mode of a multiple counter plan.

Creating a maintenance cycle		Enter a cycle, a cycle unit and a cycle text. For performance-based cycles, enter the functional location or equipment counter. For performance-based maintenance cycles, the counter unit (for example, operating hours) must have the same dimension as the cycle entered. In this case, the dimension would be “time”. Enter the offset as required at which maintenance should be performed. If you want to create new maintenance cycles for a multiple counter plan, then we recommend that you add new maintenance cycles, and do not overwrite existing ones. Delete the maintenance cycles that are not required.
