Re-using Meters on like Assets

From: s_angel0 (2012-05-21 14:34)


Hi!
I am using guage meters for condition monitoring in Maximo 6.2.
The documentation I am finding speaks only of multiple meters on a
single asset. I am wondering about multiple, identicial assets using
the SAME meter record.
For example, I have 3 exact same cooling towers on the roof. I already
have a meter created called CTRALL. For simplicity lets say CTRALL is
the only meter needed for cooling towers. I know that I need 3 separate
measure points for each cooling tower to individually capture readings.
However, my question is, on each of these 3 measure points (MP1 for
cooling tower 1, MP2 for cooling tower 2 and MP3 for cooling tower 3)
can I re-use the CTRALL meter?
Does the CTRALL meter simply act as a "template" for providing reading
info against the asset? I believe this is the case because there
doesn't appear to be any data actually saved against a meter. All
history goes against the measure point and if each asset has a measure
point then I should be all set right?
Thanks!
