Downtime Entry

Navigation: OEE → Downtime Entry

Description:

• The Downtime Entry screen lists a location's downtime events and lets operators assign a Downtime Reason, acknowledge events, adjust their root cause and primary alarm, and split an event into two. This information drives downtime analysis and improves OEE.

Layout:

• Location Tree (upper left)
• Downtime Reason Tree (lower left)
• Filter Bar (top of the event table)
• Downtime Event Table (right)

Location Tree

The Location Tree shows the hierarchy of locations. Select a location to load its downtime events. Use the Search Locations box to jump to a location.

Downtime Reason Tree

The Downtime Reason Tree shows the Downtime Reasons available for the selected location. It is used when assigning a reason to an event. Use the Search Downtime Reasons box to filter it.

Filter Bar

The bar above the event table controls which events are shown:

• Date range: a start and end date. In Realtime mode the range follows the current time and the table refreshes automatically; toggle Realtime off to pick a fixed historical range.
• State / type filter: limits the table to events of a chosen calculation type (for example Downtime).
• Minimum duration filter: hides events shorter than the chosen duration (for example >5s), useful for filtering out brief blips.

Downtime Event Table

Each row is a downtime State Record for the selected location.
