Description
Define a physical meter. A physical meter is a tangible device, such as a car odometer, that measures a particular usage of a piece of equipment. Physical meters have limits on how much usage you can track before the meter resets to zero.
Logical meters record the accumulative usage of a piece of equipment throughout its operational life. In HxGN EAM, the meter due value of a preventive maintenance work order is always based on a logical meter. Use logical meters to monitor equipment usage. Plan preventive maintenance in response to logical meter levels. Define logical meters on the Meters tab of the Assets, Positions, Systems, or Locations screen.
