Collecting Performance Data Chapter 3
• The Plant Model Activity Area evaluates a Formula to
determine running state.
Select this option if the running state for the activity area is
determined by several data points in the control system. For
example, if you base the Running State parameter on the
running state of the activity area and the part jam bit or fault
indicator bit, you can determine that the activity area is
actually running because it is not jammed nor in a fault
condition.
Proceed as follows:
1. Click Edit.
The Formula Parts wizard appears.
2. Use the wizard to define the formula. (page 60)
When you have finished configuring your performance parameters,
click Apply. The application will create system-generated
Performance Parameter events.
How do I access the dialog box?
1. On the Configure menu, click FactoryTalk Metrics >
Performance Parameters.
The Manage Performance Parameters dialog box appears.
2. Select the activity area for which you want to associate
machine states, and then click Configure.
The Configure Performance Parameters dialog box appears.
