Measuring Counter

Hi PM Experts,
I Have created a multiple counter plan with link OR.andcycle set having cycle
5 Hour (Annual estimate     3650 h )
           ( Activity per day       10 h   )
6 Meter quieb/hour. (Annual estimate     3650 m3/h )
                             ( Activity per day       10 m3/h   )
i have created two measuring point with hour and m3h characterstic for same equipment.What my problem is while entering measuring document even the counter reading is not reached up to the cycle any of them as given above.After scheduling the system is generating call object.As per me the system should generate call object when any one of the counter reading should reach either or equal to the cycle then system should generate the call object not before that.
Please put your valuable suggestion to overcome this problem
Regards,
RC

Hi Dear,
Please explain how Annual estimation, Activity per day and Cycle are linked for generating the call object.
If I Have two cycle value 20 Hour & 10 M3H & Annual estimation 3650 & 3650 respectively.If in a single day the reading of any of above becomes Ntimes of cycle is it create N times of order or notification for that particular day. Kindly explain in detail I got confused because everytime while doing planning I m getting different -2 Result.
if possible can you send some screen shot of ip10 @
[email protected]
Please this is urgent.
RC

Using Dimension Measures - COUNT, etc.. within Fact Results

All,
I am running into an issue that I imagine is relatively straight forward if you know what youre doing but I cant seem to get it right. I am trying to include some counts from my Dimensions alongside measures from my fact table.
To do this I have setup my Dimensions as Facts that I require counts from. In a simple example I have:
EVENT_FACT
Timestamp
User Id
Building Id
Event Type
existing measure = Event Count
USER_BUILDING_DIM
User Id
Building Id
Building Type
USER_BUILDER_DIM contains a record for each user and the building they are contained in along with a type. Users can exist in multiple buildings so this table's key is User Id and Building Id.
When I run a query from the FACT table I want to show the total number of Distinct Users in that build next to each result. To make this work I have done the following:
1. Setup the USER_BUILDING_DIM as a fact in my BMM, the only table that joins to this Fact table is the USER_BUILDING_DIM itself
2. In the USER_BUILDING_DIM (DIMENSION) hierarchy I have 3 levels, total, building and user ... I want my count of all users for each building
3. Created a measure called User Count - Distinct in the USER_BUILDING_DIM (FACT) table and set it to the Building level in the USER_BUILDING_DIM (DIMENSION) hierarchy. That is the only level I set for this measure
When I go into answers and I create a query like:
Building Id, Event Count, User Count - Distinct
The query comes back perfect and shows me for each building the total event count from the EVENT_FACT table and then alongside it the Distinct User count for users in that building counted from the USER_BUILDING_DIM table.
The Issue occurs when I add any other dimensions into the request that hang off of the EVENT_FACT table, such as Month from my Time Dimension which also hangs off of the EVENT_FACT table:
Month, Event Count, User Count - Distinct
Now, for the query above the User Count - Distinct value returns nothing and when I look in the logs Answers is not even performing a count anymore and instead is just joining the USER_BUILDING_DIM to the EVENT_FACT table and TIME Dimension
Any thoughts .. thanks in advance
K

Hi,
You are getting no results in "User Count Distinct" when you also drag "Month" because "USER_BUILDING_DIM_FACT" doesn't join to the Time Dimension.
This Fact doesn't have any Time information so it's not possible to obtain the "USER_BUILDING_DIM_FACT"."User Count Distinct" measure with Time Dimension columns.
You are trying to count users by Month but you don't have this information in your model. You can only count users by month which have events associated to it.

Measurement Counter

Hi,
There are group of related measurement counters whose reading to be automatically transfer to a master counter which provide the consolidated reading ( Sum ) of all these counters . How to establish this set up in SAP .
Thanks.

1. If your objective is to collect all the readings performed in the child counters to the master counter
And if you can put these technical objects in hierarchical relation, like Equipment - Sub Equipment structure, then the document presented to you is a perfect solution. Only point is you would get the consolidated counter readings in reports (as totals). This does not need any development.
2. If your objective is to merge-collect (consolidate) all the readings performed into master counter
Then You need to go for development. According to me you should be having some other reason for having these readings merged into single one, because the consolidated figures you desire are readily available in reports (IK17) as Total, Sub totals. If your requirement is not just that which you've expressed an some after extensions are there, then a development might provide flexibility for such.
But you should try the transfer reading functionality before going for development to understand its scope and relevance to you.
Best of Luck

Why cant logic expand its measure count ?

The problem is a am working on a film project and for some reason the film does not fit in the arrangement window ? Meaning I cant pass 2100 measures why ? I keep dropping the tempo to be able to watch all the film ? Its this ridicules ?
Is there a way around this major problem does anyone have any experience about this problem ?

there is an internal limit to the amount of bars you can have in logic. the thread quoted in the previous post will tell you how to organize your work so you do not run into this problem. in general your compiled folder should be set to a tempo of 30 bpm which will give you hours of film.
if logic is getting the overhaul that many seem to think it is, then perhaps this limit will be looked at. but at the moment, logics roots and legacy technology go back a long long way and some of its limitations are carried down the generations. most things have adequate work aorunds though...such as this one.

Measurement of count

hi
i have a characteristic and depending on the condition some no. of items are available for reporting in the structure of the query. my problem is how do i measure the no of items for the selection condition. i have to show the measured count only, i mean if there are 10
matches for given condition then count will show 10 only.
kindly guide.

hi
i have got the solution, actually i searched on the forum and i found one reply which solved my problem.
here is the solution :
Please go through the below steps.
1) Create a calculated Key Figures in query change mode
( choose any Key Figure which query using as rows)
2) Right Click on CKF , choose the properties
Go to Enhance Button below to last changed by
3) Choose Exception aggregation as"Counting all Values" with Reference Characteristic to Material
4) pull this CKF into the rows of the query
( The Material remains in free characteristic section)
5) Execute the query.

Count distinct derived measure on SCD type 2 dimension

Hi,
I have 2 dimension tables with SCD type 2 and one fact table :
DIM1 :
DIM1_SURR_KEY
DIM1_NAT_KEY
DIM1_PROPERTY1
DIM1_PROPERTY2
EFFECTIVE_DATE
EXPIRATION_DATE
DIM2 :
DIM2_SURR_KEY
DIM2_NAT_KEY
DIM2_PROPERTY1
DIM2_PROPERTY2
EFFECTIVE_DATE
EXPIRATION_DATE
FACT :
DIM1_SURR_KEY
DIM2_SURR_KEY
MEA1
MEA2
Dimension and fact tables are joined with : DIM1_SURR_KEY and DIM2_SURR_KEY.
In my business layer fact table, I would like to define this derived measure : count distinct of DIM1_NAT_KEY.
I tried to add new source for the fact table. I also tried an alias of DIM1 in physical layer.
Nothing works as I want : In Answers, if I select the fact and the count distinct, it works. Even if I select property of DIM1. But if I select property of DIM2, my count distinct return 0 (in SQL sent to Oracle DB, the formula is replaced with NULL).
Is it possible (and how) to count the number of Nat_Key with a derived measure defined in business layer ?
If not, I’ll define materialized view on fact table with natural key and dimension ID.
My first goal is to avoid end user to redefine derived column in Answers for each reports.
Thanks for your help

Hi,
my advise is to map the DIM1_NAT_KEY iside the Fact Table of the Business Model, so you have a new Logical Table Source inside the Logical Fact Table that maps the DIM1_NAT_KEY as a measure. Define the Level for this Logical Table Source and set the COUNT DISTINC aggregation. In this way OBIEE knows that that measure is inside a fact an it treat like that.
I hope it helps.

How to get multiple measures in measure hierarchy in Essbase Studio

Hi All,
Previously we are using one measure column which will gives the count.Now the current requirement is to get multiple measures in measure hierarchy.
For Example
Measure
Count
SalesCount(count*Sales/10)
CustomerCount(count*customer/10)
In the fact we will be having only column called "count".
So,I created the remaining two user defined dimension elements and applied formula in filters.
When i am using individual dimension element in measure hierarchy the data is coming correct,However when I am combing these three hierarchies under measure hierarchiy I am getting no data.Can someone help me out how to resolve this issue
Thanks,
SatyaB

Thanks Gleen.
This is how the actual scenerio,currently i am creating a cube for testing domain.
For all defects we will having a column called defect count.Now there are asking a new requirement to add addtional metrics contains sev1open defect,sev2 open defect etc...
So,I created hierarchy like this
Measures(Hierarchy)
Count
SalesMeasure
For this member I returned in filter as ( 'contains'( connection : 'STATUS', "New" ) and 'contains'( 'TESTING_SEVERITY', "2-High" ))
However when I am trying build this individually working fine getting correct data
When I am combining due to overwrite it seems getting no data.Like this I have to create 16 metrics
Is there any other method where I can proceed further to resolve this issue
So,can you help me on this Gleen.Thanks

How do I use daqmx to get encoder direction/count on E-series board?

Hardware:
PCI-6014
Labview 7.1
I have a linear actuator and wish to get distance/direction. The
motor has a quad encoder with phase A and B only. I connected the
lines according the the E-series, PFI-8 and PFI-6, and ground to
digital ground. I then attempted to design a control with daqmx but
failed. I have tried the daqmx examples but none were attempting
a reverse in direction. Most examples given for direction change
are for traditional daq control; i cant make a correlation on what to
use to substite traditional daq with daqmx vi's.
2 questions:
How do I use daqmx to get encoder direction/count on E-series board?
Are there low pass filter vi's recommended for each phase connection to stabilize data?
Thanks,
Wayne Hilburn

Hello Wayne,
Take a look at the Count Digital Events.vi shipping example. You can find this in LabVIEW by selecting Help >> Find Examples... then browsing to Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Counter Measurements >> Count Digital Events.
If you set the "Count Direction" control to "Externally Controlled", you will be able to count up and down depending on which direction you rotate your encoder. Make sure you wire Phase A to Ctr0 Source and Phase B to P0.6. P0.6 is the up/down line for counter 0.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

How to count number of edges using PXIe-6363 Counters

Hello,
I am trying to count number of edges in a test signal in a 50 ms duration. I am using PXIe-6363 card and connecting the test signal to CTR 0 SRC (PFI 8). Is it a correct connection? What else do I need hardware-wise to make a correct set up for this application?
Thanks
Jeet
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Jeet,
When you say interrupt signal, do you mean a pulse that will pause your counter task? If that is the case, and you want to pause your task with a digital pulse, you need to use the DAQmx Trigger Property Node and set that to Pause, Trigger Type. As you said, you can connect that signal coming from the chip to any PFI line and then set that line as the source of the property node.
There is an example that you can use that does exactly what I just described. This example is called Count Digital Events-Pause Trig.vi, and you can find it by going to Help>Find Examples..., then on the NI Example Finder window go to the Browse tab and navigate in the folders to Hardware Input and Outpout\DAQmx\Counter Measurements\Count Digital Events.

Maintenance Order through Measuring Point

Dear all,
I want to know whether it is possible to create the maintenance order on the basis measuring point .
I know how to create the order on the basis of measuring counter.
Is there any procedure to create the maintenance Order through measuring point as done in case of counter?
kindly provide the solution for Creation of Maintenance Order using Measuring Point..

Really very thanks for the solution.
I have one more query, we can create the measuring point using the t.code IK01.As you told we have to create the measuring point with upper and lower range.
Is that we have to create 2 measuring point for upper as well as lower range or in one measuring point it is possible to accumulate both the upper and lower range.
If it is possible to accumulate both the upper and lower range in one measuring point then kindly provide the procedure.
Thanks in advance.

Speed measurement with PCI6601

I am building an application for measuring two linear encoders ( micrometers ) and one quadrature encoder for measuring speed of one motor.
At the moment I can read the two linear encoders with the "position measurement" option for the PCI6601.
But I have trouble to calculate in an easy way the speed of the rotating motor in RPM.
Could anyone have any easy solution for doing this?
Thanks
Massimo Visintin

Massimo,
A few notes in no particular order:
1. Re: future use of last counter for another speed measurement. With the 6601, you only have 1 DMA channel available for buffered measurements. A second buffered measurement would have to be manually configured to use interrupts.
A buffered measurement will give you much better precision, but you may be better off starting with a simpler unbuffered approach when getting started.
2. How accurately do you need to measure speed? And how often do you need a new measurement? It sounds like you're reasonably happy with a simple speed estimate made about once per second.
3. Have you considered making a separate loop for the speed measurement? You could simply read the count once per second (unbuffered) and put it into a shift register. Then estimate speed as delta counts divided by delta time. A small enhancement would be to also store the time from 'Tick Count (msec)' on each loop, and use a measured delta time rather than an assumed one in the calculation.
Note that with this method, it's best to run unbuffered to avoid the lock-up problem you saw. It'll also be simpler to add your second speed-measurement counter task in the future.
4. Again, there *are* solutions available involving precise buffered measurements. I recently posted a DAQmx-based example that includes an instant-response buffered read (toward the end of this thread.). But I'd recommend first getting a simpler approach to work, then coming back to the buffered measurements later when you're sure you need more precision.
Good luck!

PRT Rounting prob for counter updation for Repetitive manufacturing

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to do update measuring counter thr production specially in case of Repetitive manufacturing scenario .If we try the same counter thr discrete then it will update the counter .
Pl guide ,is there any customization for these case fr PP or PM side.
Also another prob is to make factory calendar for all seven days as working days bcoz now all preventive order laps the holiday for order creation . Temporary we solve this prob by setting call horizon parameter . So is there any way to make factory calendar so all order come as earlier predefined date. Now all holiday or weekly off order come on next day.
Thx in advance .
With regards.

Thx to all

Count the number of Pluses Generated

we are using the pxi-6602(counter/IO) along with SCB-68.
the problem we are encountering is that,we want count the
number of pulses generated.
we are using the counter0 and generating the
pluse, using the example VI Genrate Finite pulse(TIO).VI
which we are able to capure at the CTR0-out.
we want to count the number of pulses generated at
CTR0, so we have connected to the gate of CTR1
and we are running the example vi Measure Pluse NI(TIO)
we are not able to count back the number of pulses generated.
can any one guide us ....
are we heading in the right
1)is it possiblt to count and measure the number of pulse generated.
2)is it neccessary to specify the PFI line in the measuring/counting.
3)output of one counter is connected to gate of the other counter to measure. is it right
4)since this is the first time we are using counter/timers, please guide us, about connecting the
out and source and gate in scb-68.
thanking you
rags

I'm not at a LV PC now, so I can't look at the examples you mentioned. However, the primary problem is that when you generate a finite pulse train on Ctr0, the DAQ driver makes use of Ctr1 to control the # of pulses generated by Ctr0.
Because you have a 6602, you can simply measure the # of pulses with any of the other 6 counters on board. Ctr1, the one you might naturally think to use, is the only one that won't work.
The method will depend on whether you're using traditional NI-DAQ or DAQmx. The example names sound like traditional NI-DAQ, so the simplest thing is to actually wire from Ctr0 output to your measurement Ctr's Source input. Each of the Ctr's has a different PFI pin as its (default) Source input. Summarizing your questions:
1. Yes it's possible to measure # of counts generated by Ctr0 with any Ctr EXCEPT Ctr1. (Note that if you generated continuous pulses with Ctr0, you could then use Ctr1 to count them).
2. It's possible to specify the PFI line for counting pulses. If you physically wire to the default Source input, it won't be necessary.
3. Output of one counter should be connected to the SOURCE of another counter.
4. Ctr0 Out should be wired to, say, Ctr2 Source. Don't have hw here to be able to identify pin #'s.
Final note: under DAQmx, you wouldn't need any wiring. You can programmatically tell any measuring counter to count the edges on any other pulse-generating counter.

PRT Value update from PP order in Counter

Hi Friend,
Can any one tell me how to update pp order value(Qty) to PRT Counter value.
Thanks
Sandy

Hi,
Create PRT as Equipment with PRT view activate in Equipment master. then create one measuring counter with PRT equipment no then assign it in Production routing then feed maint plan & counter no in equipment master PRT screen .
Check value of counter will b updated when production order is confirmed but it is possible in discrete manufacturing PP process only.
