Understanding Overall Machine Alarm Score

The "alarm score" in our platform is influenced by the severity of the alarms or measurement point statuses and their associated weights.

  • ONLINE_STATUS is effected when a measurement point has not communicated in 60 minutes. This will show the point as offline on the Analytix platform. An optional alarm and notification for these online/offline status changes is available for measurement points or Gateways.

  • WARNING is effected when a warning alarm (set by an installer or Sensoteq administrator) is triggered. These can be set for any vibration or environmental graphs.

  • CRITICAL is effected when a critical alarm (set by an installer or Sensoteq administrator) is triggered. These can be set for any vibration or environmental graphs.

Here's a breakdown of what contributes to the score:

  1. Alarm Severities:

    • Each alarm has a severity: ONLINE_STATUS, WARNING, or CRITICAL.

    • These severities determine which weight is applied to the score.

  2. Weights:

    • Weights for each severity are fetched and totalled per site / machine. The specific values depend on the type of each measurement point.

  3. Score Calculation:

    • For each measurement point:

      • If the sensor is offline, a critical weight is added to the score.

      • If the alarm is in WARNING, a warning weight is added to the score.

      • If the alarm is CRITICAL, a critical weight is added to the score.

  4. Site Score:

    • After processing all alarms, the total is then displayed on the site overview.

Thus, the alarm score is primarily determined by the number of alarms of each severity and their corresponding weights.
