Use Run Time to set up a summary view for the total amount of time system equipment is running or down, as represented by a specific data point. Summary view can also be used to categorize the amount of time equipment is down due to mechanical or operational reasons. Total downtime is calculated as a percentage of total Run Time.

 

Run Time set up applies only to enabled digital data points. The website calculates Run Time totals in days, hours, minutes, and seconds based on a date range you specify during setup. For example, a total time of 7 13:41:26 refers to 7 days, 13 hours, 41 minutes, and 26 seconds.
