Example Diagram: Creating Health Indicator and Health Indicator Value Records

The following image shows the policy diagram for the example policy that creates a Health Indicator record and a Health Indicator Value record.

This policy diagram contains the following nodes.

Node Name

Node Type

Description

Flow, Pressure, Lube Check, Ops Check, and Vibration

Health Indicator

Represents various existing Health Indicator records whose primary source records are Measurement Locations.

These records provide the values used in successor nodes to determine the overall health of the pump.

Alert Level + 1

Add

Adds 1 to the value in the Alert Level field in the corresponding Health Indicator record. The resulting value (n+1) is used as the denominator in the successor Divide nodes.

20 / <Health Indicator name> Alert

Division

Divides 20 by the result of the corresponding Add node. This value represents the Health Index contribution for each node. 20 is used as the numerator to ensure that each individual Health Indicator has equal weight, (i.e., since there are five Health Indicators, 20 is one-fifth of 100).

Various

Add

Combine the results from the Division nodes. This sum represents the overall health index of the pump on a numeric scale between 1 and 100, where a higher value is better than a lower value.

Round to nearest integer

Round

Rounds the value of the overall health index to the nearest integer.

Health Index

Add Value to Health Indicator

Adds the rounded value of the overall health index to a new Health Indicator Value record and links the record to a Health Indicator record.

Health Indicator

Health Indicator

Represents the Health Indicator record to which the Health Indicator Value record will be linked when the policy is executed.

Continuing with the example, consider that the following Health Indicator records contain the following values in the Alert Level field:

When the policy is executed:
