LINK Systems LinkNet II - Manual (Page 61)

PM Item Type: Select the type of limit this PM item should have. This can be one of the following:
Running Time: Amount of time the press was actually stroking since the last time this PM item
was reset.
Motor On Time: Amount of time the main motor of press has run since the last time this PM
item was reset.
Elapsed Time: Amount of time that has gone by since the last time this PM item was reset.
Strokes: Number of strokes since the last time this PM item was reset.
Total Feed Length: Accumulated total of feed length since the last time this PM item was reset.
Unit: Applies to all time related PM types and to total feed length. For time related items, select Hours,
Days, Weeks, Months, or Years. For total feed length, select feet or meters.
Value: When adding an item, this will be 0 by default (since no strokes, time, etc. has accumulated.),
but can be set to an initial value when the PM item is first created. When editing a PM item, this will
show the current accumulation of whatever is being monitored but it cannot be edited! This value will
be in the units selected in the “Unit” box.
Limit: The limit to be placed on this PM item. This value will be in the units selected in the “Unit”
box. When the value is greater than or equal to the unit, the PM item will “come due”.
Notes/Instructions: These are free form notes that will appear in the PM reports associated with this
item. Typical uses would be checklists, procedures, materials, or anything else that a maintenance
worker would need to know in order to perform the indicated maintenance.
Customer Fields: LinkNet does not directly use the customer fields. These three fields are provided for
custom uses by, of course, the customer.
When all data has been entered, hit the “OK” button and the PM item will be added.
4.15.2 Editing a Preventive Maintenance Item
To edit a PM item, select a PM item from the PM listing dialog of a machine or tool (see Figure 4.39
and Figure 4.40) and click the “Edit PM Item” button. Alternatively, double click a PM item in the

value cannot be changed. If these items must be changed, the PM item must be deleted and re-added.
4.15.3 Deleting a Preventive Maintenance Item
If a PM item no longer needs to be monitored, it may be deleted. To delete a PM item, select it from
the PM listing dialog of a machine or tool (see Figure 4.39 and Figure 4.40) and click the “Delete PM
Item” button. A message box will appear to asking to verify that the item is to be deleted. Hit “Yes” to
delete the item, and “No” to cancel the operation.
