Reading Inheritance

It is possible to setup readings to flow down from an asset to child assets in the asset tree. This enables one set of readings to be utilised for triggering tasks in a number of individual asset components.  To set this up, the sub assets need to have an ‘Identical Trigger Code/s’ added to the asset readings form.

Component assets can inherit its parent’s reading/s if the trigger code in the asset readings table for the parent and child are identical. The component asset does not require any additional information such as All-Time, Meter Limit and Averages etc, to be set up. 

However, the All-time for a component needs to reflect the current reading which may be different to that of the parent.
