Question 11

Device management – moneo OS – Release notes for software version 1.13

Accepted Answer

Now you can keep an even better overview of your infopoints! From now on, your topology tree shows you how many infopoints you are using in each area.

Question 12

Device management – moneo OS – release notes for software version 1.12

Accepted Answer

Simple device identification – In the device management, devices can now be connected using their host name instead of their IP address. This makes it much easier to identify devices on networks with dynamic IP addresses.

User access can be restricted to a part of the topology tree (e.g. a plant, a production line or a specific machine). Administrators can now easily define the visibility and thus the access to location elements and sibling nodes for user groups via drag & drop in the Navigator.

This means, for example, that all kinds of maintenance tasks can only be made available to the user groups responsible for them.

Such an authorisation concept also ensures that users only receive notifications (warnings and alarms) that are within their area of responsibility.

The names of the devices in the navigator now follow the logic that if a user-defined name is assigned, it is used in the navigator. If the user-defined name is not assigned, the configured name is displayed. If this is also not assigned, the ifm product name appears.

If the user-defined name is edited in the device management, it is also adapted in the navigator.

Question 13

Device management – moneo OS – release notes for software version 1.11

Analysing and keeping an overview of health indicators is now even easier: view your changing health indicators with a single click from your dashboard.

Question 22

DataScience Toolbox – release information software version 1.12

Accepted Answer

Trends, level changes and volatility: now it is very easy to recognise these patterns. This is possible with the moneo|DataScience Toolbox’s new tool: the PatternMonitor. It enables automatic anomaly detection of individual critical process variables (e.g. temperature, flow, vibration, etc.). Using statistical methods, the tool checks whether an unexpected pattern occurs. In this way, the behaviour of the critical process variables is permanently monitored and the user is automatically informed of significant deviations.

QM9105

The SmartLimitWatcher has two new health indicators that make it easier to track a developing problem. These indicators evaluate both the monitoring quality and the alarm frequency.

A change in the monitoring quality indicator shows that the original condition at the time of monitoring no longer exists. This should be checked and the monitoring readjusted. The alarm frequency, on the other hand, indicates how many times the limit has been exceeded in a given period of time.

False alarms can be avoided with the new ticket response delay in the SmartLimitWatcher: it prevents immediate creation of a ticket. A ticket is only created if the process value exceeds the limit value x times in succession.

Question 23

Raw data recording – moneo RTM – release notes for software version 1.12

Accepted Answer

Tickets generated by calculated values and limit violations of SmartLimits can also be used as triggers for raw data recording.
