analog event values and shift numbers into string values. String
values are more useful in both reports and in Report Expert
parameters. You can also make lookup lists for machine states.
• Each workcell is disabled and you need to enable it manually.
• If you have chosen to disable events in the configuration tool,
you need to manually enable all the events that you want
FactoryTalk Metrics to use. You need to do this for all
workcells, not just the workcells you have selected in the
configuration tool.
• You may add performance parameters that use data points
which are not contained in the UDT, such as additional
events.
The following performance parameters are not configured by the
FactoryTalk Metrics Configuration Tool, and must be configured
manually:
• Scheduled Availability using Time Patterns - an alternative to
collecting shift information from the control system
• Machine States - required to use some of the standard reports
provided with Report Expert
• Event severity
• Lookup lists
• Event value - choose the Beginning or Ending value.
• Fault Metrics
NOTE
If you run the FactoryTalk Metrics Configuration Tool again, all of
your changes made in the Configuration Console to the imported
performance parameters will be lost.
