3.1.1 Creating maintenance schedules

Function description
The maintenance schedules contain the maintenance-related tasks to be per-
formed on the machine (maintenance, inspection, and servicing).
Maintenance procedures may be logged in the schedule in a purely text-based
format; alternatively, "intelligent" maintenance procedures, which automatically de-
termine data via axis tests in order to performing purposeful status-oriented main-
tenance, may also be logged.

The schedules are activated in a control monitor either on a time- or event-
triggered basis or as a combination of both (time- or event-triggered). The
maintenance schedule is then set as a maintenance job and is due for the re-
sponsible organization. A schedule always applies to just one machine.

The maintenance jobs are produced on a time-controlled basis, in time inter-
vals, on an event-triggered basis, or in event-triggered intervals. This is exe-
cuted via the universal trigger of a control monitor. (The triggers are not only
to control maintenance jobs, but is those that can also be used for any other
action  universal trigger.)

A maintenance job is created on a control monitor. Server time-controlled
maintenance jobs can be immediately seen in the unfiltered total list together
with their associated status. Event-controlled, maintenance jobs, that are cre-
ated by a machine-related trigger (events, that are detected in the field related
to the machine and also evaluated at the PC front end using ePS Network
Services client), can only be seen in the list when they are due as the due sta-
tus is created when the job is generated.

Maintenance schedules can be updated at any time. This has no effect on
maintenance jobs that have already been opened, are due or closed, but only
the following ones after the change. This also applies if a schedule is deleted.
Note
If users are logged on to the control as machine operator, they can process the
status of the pending jobs there and, if required, add comments. For machines
with version V3, they do not have to be a member of the target organization; for
machines with version V4, they require authorization to act as machine operator
(MO) for this machine in order to open the ePS window.
