Configuring Time Model¶

Time Model is a representation of the production time and different downtimes of a plant. The following time categories are available:

• Production Time
• Planned Stop
• Downtimes

It is required to create time categories assigned to one of these main categories, to represent the split of time for the machine or line.

In the Insights Hub OEE application, it is only possible to create one time model. If they are built upon different time models, the data cannot be compared between different lines and machines.

It is recommended to carefully select the time categories that should be included in the time model. Once they are created and reason trees or status mappings are built on the underlying time model, avoid removing the time categories. Otherwise, this would lead to data inconsistencies.

While creating the time categories, analyze and select the major time category to which they should belong.

Prerequisite¶

To configure the time model, it is important to understand the basic concepts from the section Time Model.

User interface¶

The user interface of "Time Model" is as shown below:

① Navigates to the "Configuration" tab
② Adds a new "Time Category"
③ Deletes an existing "Time Category"
④ Navigates to the next step
⑤ Displays the current step
⑥ Navigates to the previous step

Procedure¶

To create a new time category in each major time category, proceed as follows:

1. From the navigation tab, click "Configuration" and select "Time Model".
2. In "Time Model", click "Add Time Category".
3. In each major time category, select a representing color for each time category.
   This color will be reflected in the machine status bar.
   
4. Enter the "Name" and "Description" for the time category.
