Creating new PEI Components
Components can be either GENERAL Components or newly created Components. GENERAL Components are auto generated when a new piece of Equipment is created. Each Equipment will have a GENERAL Component.
There are several places in the application from where you can add a new Component, for example:
Where to create a new Component from:
Section | Screenshot |
---|---|
Component main grid (Header bar) | |
Equipment main grid (Side info bar) | |
Equipment details (RBI section) |
To create a Component:
- Click + to create a new Component.
- Enter the required data in the pop-up window. See the table below.
- Click Save when done.
The new Component will be created, and you will be redirected to the detail page of the Component that was just created.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Equipment ID | This field is auto populated based on the object from which you are creating the Component. |
Hierarchy | Hierarchy path for this Component (read-only). |
Component number | The Component ID which should be unique for each Equipment-Component combination. |
Name | The name of the Component, by default the Equipment Name is filled in here, but it can be changed. This is the field Short Description in the query builder. |
Corrosion Loop | The CL which will be assigned to the new Component. (You can also make this link from the CL Details page.) Note: A Component must be linked to a CL before applicable DMs can be assigned to the Component. |
Component Type | The type of Component. The available types to choose from depends on the Hierarchy Type / Equipment Group of the parent Equipment. You must select the most appropriate Component Type, which best represents the area of the Equipment that the Component will be representing. Note: The available Component Types are configured in Settings, based on the Equipment Group (see Hierarchy Type Configuration in Settings). To see all the configured Component Types, go to Settings \ Maintenance \ Configuration \ Configuration per Hierarchy Type. Then filter for Component Types. Or filter for Equipment Groups to see which Component Types are assigned to a specific Equipment Group. |
Material | The material of construction of the Component. By default, this is inherited form the Equipment. |
Start Date | The start date of the Component. By default, the date of the parent Equipment is inherited. |
Active | Indicates whether the Circuit is active or inactive. |
Description | A description of the Component. |
