Manage Loops

To add a loop:

1. Define the asset classification.
2. Create asset instances.
   (Follow the instructions in the APM Asset documentation for creating asset instances.)
3. Set up tag classifications for outputs.
4. Associate inputs and outputs for control loop assets.
5. Modify all existing analytic deployments to add the asset to the deployments. Consult the section of this documentation on deploying CLPM analytics for details.
   IMPORTANT: If this step is not performed, analytics will be unable to produce KPIs and alerts for the loop.

To modify a loop:

1. Log in to your tenant.
2. In the module navigation menu, select Assets.
3. Use the Context Browser to select the control loop asset instance you want to modify.
4. In the control loop asset instance, hover over, then select the field on the asset you want to modify. It will only be possible to modify those properties that you should be able to modify.
   For Custom Attributes on the control loop asset and on the tags associated with the control loop asset, consult the Control Loop Asset Definition for CLPM to ensure that the changes you make comply with the definition/template. The following custom attributes are important for CLPM configuration:

   Custom Attribute	Function
   Attributes > Custom Attributes > Lower SP Offset	Used to calculate the Lower SP Threshold.
   Attributes > Custom Attributes > Upper SP Offset	Used to calculate the Upper SP Threshold.
   Tags > PV or MV > Custom Attributes > Minimum Operating Value	Used for data clipping.
   Tags > PV or MV > Custom Attributes > Maximum Operating Value	Used for data clipping.

   Note: It is important to ensure that your modifications to custom attributes conform to the control loop asset definition for CLPM. If your change does not conform to this definition, CLPM will be unable to function correctly.
   For other properties common to both control loop assets and other kinds of assets, consult the APM Asset documentation for asset instances.
5. Make the change you want to make, then press Enter or select outside the field.

To delete a loop:

1. Log in to your tenant.
2. In the module navigation menu, select Assets.
3. Use the Context Browser to select the asset instance you want to delete.
4. Select the trash icon and confirm that you want to delete the loop.
5. Modify all existing CLPM analytic deployments to remove the asset from the deployments.
