Functional location hirearchy and equipment

531 Views

Hello Gurus,

We have totally 4 levels of functional location. Now let's say if Tank is representing 4th level and Pump treated as a equipment attached to the tank. Now again Pump has tie up with another equipment (ex motor) this motor should tie up only with pump.So if I treat Pump as a equipment and I cannot attach motor to pump and the motor can be attached only directly to tank.

So I decided to keep tank as the 4th level and Pump was the 3rd level so that motor can attached to pump(treated as a FL). But again motor has one more equipment (ex belt) this belt should tie up to only motor and not to pump or tank.so if this drilldown..my idea wud not be work correct ? I gone thru the sub equipments funcitonality as well and that might not be used as its just differentiating the structure.

So my next thought would be keeping tank as 3rd level and also pump as the 3rd level and also motor as the 3rd level functional locations and belt can be attached to motor FL...Does this makes sense...can I just create the 3rd level on and on

like below.

as-test-tank

as-test-pump

as-test-motor

eq-belt

Or 3rd level shd attach only to 2nd level and not to the 3rd level again ?

Mahee
