Equipment Standards Table: Field Reference

This topic documents all of the fields of the Equipment Standards table.

Field Heading Field Name Purpose Archibus Type
Amperage spec_amperage The amperage required by equipment of this standard. None
Classification Code csi_id

Enter the CSI classification code for this standard. By associating a classification code with a standard, you assign it to all equipment assigned to the standard. Assigning an equipment item to a classification code is important when using the CSI Classification system with the Assessment applications. If you use the default CSI classifications, you can connect your condition and environment sustainability assessment items to industry-standard guidelines for replacement, maintenance, and repair costs.

Equip. Std. Block Graphic Doc doc_block Not currently used Document
Equip. Std. Graphic Doc. doc_graphic Use this document field to hold a picture of the equipment standard. The Equipment Standards Book report uses this field to show a picture of the equipment item. Document
Equip. Std. Graphic image_file Not currently used. Graphic
Equipment BTU spec_btu The BTUs for equipment of this standard. None
Equipment Category

category

Enter an equipment category, such as PRINTER, HVAC, or SAFETY. The Category enables you to manage and review equipment by the Category it is assigned to.

None
Equipment Description description Enter a description that helps identify the equipment used by this standard, such as "PC used by administrative staff." Desc
Equipment Standard eq_std The unique identifier for this type of equipment. Bar Code
Highlight Pattern - Acad hpattern_acad This field stores the highlight pattern (fill colors, gradients, or hatch patterns) for this standard used to highlight equipment having this standard when querying drawings HPattern Acad Ext
Manufacturer mgr

The company that produces this equipment. This is useful for tracking warranty information, or for locating equipment if the manufacturer announces a recall or safety warning.

None
Model Number modelno The equipment's model number. This is useful for tracking warranty information, or for locating equipment if the manufacturer announces a recall or safety warning. None

Number of Contained Positions

  tc_npositions

If you specified Positions in the above option, enter the maximum number of positions devices of this standard can contain.

Tc nPositions
Option 1 option1 This field is available to use when customizing the application. None
Option 2 option2 This field is available to use when customizing the application. None
Phase spec_phase Select whether this equipment asset uses single-phase (1), two-phase (2), or three-phase (3) electrical power None
Power spec_power The power required by equipment of this standard. None
Size / Capacity

spec_capacity

Use this field to document the equipment's size or capacity.

None
Source Feed Comments source_feed_comments Comments entered when this record was updated using Archibus connectors. None
Source Record ID source_record_id When using the connectors to load enterprise data into Archibus, the system populates this field with the primary key for the record for a particular processing of the Archibus connectors using the particular source system (for example, Oracle, Maximo, SAP, etc.) Having both the Source System ID and the Source Record ID enables bi-directional updates if they are needed. These fields are also helpful when reconciling data between two systems. Calculated
Source Status source_status The status of the record after the connector processes the data: such as inserted or updated. Calculated
Source System ID source_system_id When using the connectors to load enterprise data into Archibus, the system populates this field with the source system used (for example, Oracle, Maximo, SAP, etc.) Having both the Source System ID and the Source Record ID enables bi-directional updates if they are needed. These fields are also helpful when reconciling data between two systems. Calculated
Standard Depth spec_depth The standard depth dimension for this equipment. (The program does not use this value when generating asset symbols.) YDim
Standard Area area The area that this equipment requires. You can enter the area the equipment occupies (its footprint), or you might also include its circulation or operating area. This is helpful for equipment that needs space around it for safe or effective operation, or for servicing. Including the area equipment requires is helpful when designing the layout of any space that has equipment in it. Std. Area
Standard Cost to Move: cost_moving Enter the standard cost to move a single item of this equipment standard. Currency
Standard Height spec_height

The standard height dimension for this equipment. (The program does not use this value when generating asset symbols.)

ZDim
Standard Price

price

Enter the price you typically pay for this type of equipment.

Currency
Standard Width spec_width The standard width dimension for this equipment.(The program does not use this value when generating asset symbols.) XDim

Std Hierarchy Level 

tc_level

Defines the telecom hierarchy level for the equipment standard. If a particular inventory record of this standard does not have this value, you can enter a hierarchy level for the particular inventory record.

Tc Level

Std is Multiplexing? 

is_multiplexing

Specifies whether items of this standard are multiplexing. The Telecom features treat equipment items of this standard as multiplexing items.

If you don't want to track the multiplexing status by standard, you can enter a multiplexing status for Equipment records.

Tc Multiplexing

Std Telecom Area Level

.tc_area_level

Specifies the telecom area level for the standard. If a particular inventory record of this standard does not have this value, you can enter a telecom area level for the particular inventory record None

Std Telecom Service Type

tc_service

Specifies the telecom service type for items of this standard. If a particular inventory record of this standard does not have this value, you can enter a telecom service type for the particular inventory record.

None

Telecom Contained Tables

tc_contained_tbls

Choose the type of elements this equipment standard can contain: Equipment Ports, Positions, or None. For example, if a PBX standard is to track its terminations as positions, complete this option with Positions and specify the maximum number of positions in the next option.

Tc Contained Tbls

Telecom Equipment Type

tc_eq_type

Specifies the specific equipment type, such as computer, printer. Choose a value from the validating list.

None
Time Created time_created Not currently used. Calculated
Time Last Updated From Source System source_time_update The time stamp for when the record was last updated with data from your other enterprise systems using Archibus connectors. Calculated
Voltage spec_voltage The voltage required by equipment of this standard. None
Years Life Expectancy

qty_life_expct

Include the Years Life Expectancy based on industry standards for each specific equipment standard. Year Life Expectancy is the mean service life in years assigned to the asset. The application determines the life remaining (Remaining Life field) for an asset based on Years Life Expectancy minus the actual Equipment Age (yrs).

Used by the Commissioning application.
