how to create measuring point and measuring point counter.

what is the difference between these two.

what is measuring point category,

what is measuring point

what is measuring point object

what is measuring position.

can anyone explain me in an easy for better understanding.

Hi Vinoth,

Measuring Points are used to measure some physical properties like Temperature, Pressure Running hours etc.

The Object on which the physical property is measured is Measuring Point Object (Either Equipment / Functional Location / Re-FX Unit)

It the measuring is simple like temperature, then it is just a measuring point, but when it is contineously increasing like distance travelled, running hours etc, then it is a Measuring Point Counter.

Position is just a description where you are measuing, like if you are measuring the temperature for a AC in a room, you can measure the AC Grill temperature or the temperature at one corner etc..

Measuring Point category you can use based on requirement, normally general is used.

Hope you are clear on this. Also read the SAP help.

Firstly a Measuring point is nothing but, a factor which you measure on an equipment/FL. (Temperature, Vibration etc)

Then, a measuring point is created either on a Functional location or on an Equipment.

IK01 is the T-code for creating it.

If it is for F/L you have to use IFL as measuring point object, when it is an equipment you use IEQ

Generally these two will be in use.

In the IK01 screen if you tick the counter checkbox, the MP becomes a counter.

Example for simple MP is temperature.

And example for a Counter MP is 'Litres of petrol consumed'

In the first case you don't need to add the temperature measurements, whereas in the petrol consumption you may wish to have the cumulative value of readings taken for a period of time.

The measuring position: Example : If you are measuring the temperature of a Motor on the Drive side, you may put 'Drive End' in this field, or similar many applications.

Category would group these MPs.

In case of need you may define in customisation a sep[arate MP category.

Then each time you read a MP through IK11 or other methods a Measuring Document is created.
