Number Range and Exceptions

Range option in the Number response type is used to add a number range of a particular action or item. If the response is outside a specified range, this feature triggers a popup message to alert the operator or technician of a potential issue.

For example, the operator enters 105°C (above the limit), triggering a popup: "Warning: Actuator temperature exceeds safe operating range."

To add range value and add exceptions:

  1. Enter a task or question as Does the valve actuator function within the specified range?.
  2. Select the Number value from the Responses drop-down.
  3. Select the Required check box if the value is required.
  4. Select the relevant Unit like Celsius (oC) for the temperature. For more information, see Number with the Unit of Measurement.
  5. Click the Range link and add range values for the selected Unit.
  6. In the Range window,
    1. Select Lower Limit and Upper Limit values.
    2. Click Add Lower Limit and Add Upper Limit to add multiple lower and upper limit values.
    3. Select the exception from the Actions list like Warning, Alert, Note and so on.
      Note:
      Click Add New in the list to add a new exception and select the color.
    4. Enter relevant message for the selected exception. This message displays along with color code when the round is executed.
