Meas point & counter
How Meas point & counter is utilized for equipments?
Hi,
Measuring Points & Counters are used to measure different characteristics of the equipment.
Measuring Point: For example, there are "N" no. of equipments in the plant. There would be some critical parameters to be measured on periodical basis.
In case of Boiler, pressure, temperature, etc,. are the critical parameters. On daily basis or some periodical basis, these parameters should be measured so that we can avoid complex situations like breakdowns or componenets damage.
Measuring points will have range as upper limit & lower limit. The parameter value should be within that range. If it nears to that values, some care should be taken to avoid the problems.
These measuring points will be created in IK01. For those measuring points, measurement documents will be created on periodical basis.
Counter: This is also type of measuring point which will either increase or decrease to certain limit.
For example, ODO meter reading (KM readings in Vehicles) will be created as Counter. Transaction code for Measuring point creation is also IK01. But there would one check box as "Measuring point is Counter" in the screen.
ODO meter reading will start from 1 to 99999 for motor vehicles & again that will be reset to 0. So counter overflow reading would be 100000. Annual estimate is on an average, how much KM that vehicle will run per year. Based on that, performance based maintenance can be done.

Measuring point,counter & meas document
What is the concept of Measuring point,counter & meas document in regard to PM ?
Hi,
Measuring Points are measurement of physical condition like temprature pressure, and consumption like fuel, and reading like hour meter , speedometer etc.
measuring points just like as log book of equipment
it is created by ik01, against technical object with characterstics of which we want to take measurment reading
and when actual reading are recorded against measuring point , a document is genrated called measurment document
it is crated by ik11, ik14 , ik34 against measuring point

Reg: measuring point creation and measuring point counter creation
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.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.

Hi PM Gurus,
Can you tell me about the performance based maitenance :
1. Measuring Point (M.P.)
2.Counter
What are the characterstic units come under the Measuring Point.is it right that only we can give upper and lower limit in M.P not in counters.Also User exit is only created for MP not for counter.
What are the basic difference between Measuring Point & Counter.
In both the cases is it necessary to select counter tick mark or only in case of counter ?Is there is any difference while generating the plan

RCHi Raju,
You can do this through,
IMG - Maintenance Plan,work center, task list & PRTS - Maintenance Plan - Set maintenance plan catagories.
Here in call object column you can define which type of call object you want for your maintenance order based on this you will get the order or notification as a call object.
And rest of the things measuring point & counter that already defined in this thread.

I have asked and answered a lot of questions lately. Yet the point count stays the same. Why?
I have asked and answered a lot of questions lately. Yet the point count stays the same. Why?
People you helped who can't be bothered to mark helpful or solved, or, and this one is hard to understand: they just don't know what it means -- or it simply doesn't register at all. I may answer quite a few questions, but go a long time before getting any points. It's like that for everyone. Also you don't get any points from anyone besides the OP.
But with over 2,000 points, you must (or should) have realized all this by now. -
IE02 not able to display class overview & measuring point/counter tab,
Hi Dear,
I am not able to display class overview & Measuring point/counter tab in T-code IE02.
But it is display in IE01 & IE03.
Kindly suggestMayursinh Dayatar,
Its probably an authorisation issue.
Are there any error messages??

Multiplication factor in measurment point/counter
Hey Gurus,
Is it possible to include multiplication factor in measuring points / counter? Like when my clients are entering the readings of energy meter they have to multiply it with some factor to get the actual reading. Is it possible in std sap or do i ve to go for development?
Thanks,
AbhishekHi Abhishek,
Some time back I have done the same requirement for one of my clients.
For that we have created a Z- Table and maintained the multiplication factor for that particular measuring point.When we enter the reading in measuring documnet system will check the multiplication factor in the Z- table and populate the reading.
We have used IMRC0001 user exit for this.Please ask your ABAP team to develop this, it is not much complicated. -

Problem with Meas Point and Documents
Hi Friends,
I have created a measuring point for and equipment.
then I am posting first meas document with reading difference 2.
then my total reading becomes 2.
while posting 2nd meas document with reading difference 5
then my totalCtrRading becomes "280" and counter reading becomes "280".
If I enter the Counter reading as 7 then the difference value becomes " -268 "
and totalCtrReading becomes "7".
But i dont know why system is behaving in this way.Can you please help
Regards
AMHi Thayagrajan ,
max reading that can be displayed is 5000.
and the counter min reading is 0.

Measuring Point Counter Overflow reading
Dear Masters,
I want to know whether there is any standard method by which i can create a notification in the system whenever any measuring point reading reaches its counter overflow reading?
Can I do the same with the range valued measuring points? That if the measuring point reading is out of the range defined in a measuring point, it should create a notification
Thanks in advance for your valuable time and answers.Hi,
Try any of these User Exits.
IMRC0001 MeasPoint/MeasDoc: Exit before update (after COMMIT WORK)
IMRC0003 MeasDoc: Menu exit for customer-specific function
To create the Notification, use the FM BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_CREATE.
[Check this link as well|BAPI needed for Notification & Work order;

Plant Maintenance - Measuring Point Counter Replacement
Dear Expert,
I had created Measuring Point which is cumulative in nature and the Counter Overflow reading is 999999. Suppose the last reading was 999900. Now my today reading is 500 then system is showing total counter reading 10000400.
My question is "how system will replace the counter reading as 401 automatically instead of 10000400". I don't want to replace the counter manually. Please guide me where i have to do configuration for this or what is best way to do it.
Thanks & Regards
Rajiv RanjanHi Thyagu,
Thanks for your reply and valuable suggestion.
My question is how the Total Counter Reading will become zero and start from zero when it overflow.
For example :
Lets Counter Over Flow Reading is 100
total counter reading on 8th august is 90.
on 9th august the difference is 40, then Counter reading become 30 and TotalCtrReading is 130. I want TotalCtrReading should show 30 instead of 130. how to do it?

Measument point - Counter - Backwards - Over flow limit value ?
Hi ,
I 'm trying to use measurement point, the requirement is i need to start from 20000 hours and go on decreasing the life of the part and when i reach 1000 hours i need the system to tell me so. i'm not able to update the upper and lower limits in reverse, neither i'm knowing what to put for over flow counter reading. Please help.
Regards,
VivekHI Experts,
I am looking for information relating to setting up backward counters to schedule Maintenance Plans. When I try to create a Maintenance Plan linked to a Backward Counter, I receive the error "Only counters that run forwards can be entered - Error IP124" . What am I doing wrong? How can I use backwards counters with maintenance plans?
We have several clocks that count down the hours til the next major or minor pm is due. The technician manually records the time from these clocks. Worst case is that we can subtract the counter time from a constant if we have to, but I'd like to have the technician enter in the clock time directly with out any manipulation needed.
Thanks in advance,
Please open a thread for your specific issue

Sir,
I have created measuring point for energy meter reading ...the problem is that each energy meter has a different multiplication factor how can I Map the process as the final reading will be energy meter reading multiply by multiplication factor. Is there any other field where I can define the multiplication factor so that the actual reading that will come will be after the reading gets multiplied by some factor.
The user wants to enter only the counter reading and the system should multiply the multiplication factor to the reading...You can map indifferent way.
Crate an Ztable with front end to enter the multiplication factor for energy meter one time later if changed.
Create a separate Zreport and calculate the the reading as per the ztable multiplication factor and display to user.
In this way the energy meter measuring value will be same the user entered the value , the Reading display will be based upon multiplication factor.

How do i measure the frequency of a sine wave using a field point counter module
I need to measure the frequency of the sine wave using field point. is it possible and if yes how. do i need to convert the sine wave signal to square wave. Please let me know.
It probably would be easiest to convert the sine wave to a square wave with a simple external circuit and then use a counter module to measure the frequency. There is a shipping example in LabVIEW that shows how to measure frequency with a FieldPoint Counter module.

Add measurement point / counter
Hello,
I am facing the problem that I need to add a counter value to a measure point. For this I have the equi no, the pos of the counter and the value I have to add. If the measurement point does not exist, I have to add one by creating it with the information about the pos and measurement point.
Could someone tell me if there a some BAPIs that help finding the measurement point by equi no and pos? How to add the measurement point if it is not existing? I just saw some code that reads the information in the tables but is there something more standardized?
Thanks a lot, VanessaIn a previous assignment, I used BDC/transaction call for IK01, when I found that the measure point did not exist. If I remember correctly, it was a very short, simple process. I believe I followed that (upon sy-subrc eq 0) with a BDC/transaction call for IK11.
But, please take a look at Function Modules named like BAPI_MP. The BAPI_MPIP modules may give you what you need.
