FDDWorX Tab for Equipment Classes

On the FDDWorX tab for equipment classes (shown below) in AssetWorX, you can configure the equipment class for ICONICS FDDWorX. This tab must be added to an equipment class node by using the + tab. For more information about adding an FDDWorX tab, refer to the + Tab for Equipment Classes topic.

Tip: An equipment node's information may be pre-configured if it was created using an equipment class. Equipment classes can contain template information, including aliases that are identified as being surrounded by /? and ?/.

The FDDWorX tab contains three sub-tabs:

The Faults Definitions sub-tab is selected by default.

The Enabled and Severity text entry fields are the same as those that appear when you first add a fault. See the descriptions above. A change in one location replicates to the other.

Fault Rule

The Fault Rule sub-tab allows you to construct a fault rule to associate to your selected fault. You can enter the rule directly into the text entry field or use the buttons to the right (Arithmetic, Relational, Logical, Bitwise, Functions, Variables...) or click on the button to open the Rule Expression Editor to construct the rule. See Rules/Expression Editor for additional info. You can then click on the button to check the syntax of the entered Fault Rule. Results will appear in the text field to the right.

You can enter the cost directly into the text entry field or use the buttons to the right (Arithmetic, Relational, Logical, Bitwise, Functions, Variables...) or click on the button to open the Cost Expression Editor to construct the cost. You can then click on the button to check the syntax of the entered Fault Cost. Results will appear in the text field to the right.
