Description |
For each asset managed by an OPC UA Server the user wants to * Receive a simple, common health status. This includes (from Devices spec and NAMUR NE 107): * Normal – Asset functions normally * Failure – Malfunction of the asset * Check Function – Function checks are performed, like configuration checks, local operation, etc. * Off Spec – The asset is operating outside its specification (e.g. measuring or temperature range) or internal diagnoses indicate deviations * Maintenance required – Asset operates normally, the wear reserve is nearly exhausted or a function will soon be restricted due to operational conditions, e.g. build-up of deposits Note: If an asset contains sub-assets, the health status of the sub-assets are of importance for the asset, however, how this is considered is an implementation detail (e.g. if you have redundant sub-assets, one might fail without the overall asset failing). * Receive asset specific information on failure or maintenance conditions. This information should include * Time of failure * Severity * A description, ideally containing cause of a failure and a proposed action, how to solve the failure (e.g. restarting the asset, changing the configuration, replacing asset, doing maintenance operations, etc.) * Once the user has investigated the cause, she wants the ability to mask and filter issues. * Information details about maintenance is covered in UC005-1. * The user wants to find the root cause of why the asset is not operating as expected. * Ideally the user may want to know how long the asset has been in its current common health status.* The user wants to get notified if an asset changes its health status. |
