Fault Diagnostic Tab

Once you have added the FDDWorX tab to the asset's Equipment form in the AssetWorX (and then added faults through the Fault Definitions tab) you can add Diagnostic Symptoms Mappings. The image below shows the initial state of the Fault Diagnostic tab within the Facility AnalytiX tab within the selected asset's properties.

 

Note: This tab is also available for equipment classes. All equipment classes are defined in AnalytiX Catalog in the Equipment Classes node. In AssetWorX, you can define and use equipment classes as templates for creating nodes in the asset tree. You can also use aliases in your equipment classes; these aliases will prompt you for actual properties for equipment as you use the equipment classes to define nodes in the asset tree. For more information, refer to the Introduction to Equipment Classes (Templates) and Creating Equipment Classes for Use as Templates topics.
