12.2.3 Asset level 1 & Asset Level 2 Groups
Asset 1 and Asset 2 are used to help organize, identify,
and group channels.
Asset names have multiple uses in the VC-8000 system.
• Asset names are used to organize the Machine
view display (see 12.2.3.1).
• Asset names are used in the VC-8000 event list
to indicate the source of the alarm.
• Asset names are used in the relay logic blocks
(Figure 12-9) Asset Level 1 used in relay logic).
This is very convenient, but you must recognize
that if the groups change – so does your relay
logic.
• Asset names are not used in CMS software. The
CMS software uses the “CMS Navigation Path”.
For large machines, Asset 1 is typically the machine
group (i.e. Turbine, or Compressor). Asset 2 is typically
the bearing group (i.e. Brg 1, Brg 2, etc.)
For smaller machines, Asset 1 is typically the machine
train name (MP-1211, MP-1222) and Asset 2 is the
machine name (Motor, Pump). Use the strategy that best
works for you.
