Classifications

Apply the same limits to every machine of the same kind. A classification is a reusable set of thresholds, either a standard ISO 20816 class or your own custom class.

  • ISO 20816 classes — standard machine classes from the ISO 20816 standard, carrying that class's standard velocity-RMS zones.
  • Custom classes — your own thresholds, for when the ISO defaults don't fit or you want to watch other KPIs.

Classifications

The Classifications list holds both. The built-in ISO 20816 entries cover small machines (rigid / flexible foundation) and medium (Group 2) and large (Group 1) machines (rigid / flexible) — open one to see its standard thresholds. Custom classes are the ones you create and manage.

Create a custom class

Click Create New to open the Create Class Template drawer.

Create Class Template

Field Notes
Applicable Device (required) The device type the class is for (for example Treon Industrial Node X, Treon Industrial Node C). The KPIs available in the rules depend on it — so New Condition stays disabled until you choose a device.
Class Name (required) Up to 256 characters.
Class Description Optional, up to 256 characters.

Then build the Threshold Rules — add a row with New Condition and set:

  • KPI — the value the condition watches.
  • Criteria — >, <, =, >=, <=, !=.
  • Value — the number to compare against.
  • Severity — Warning or Alert.

At least one condition is required; Create enables once a device, a name and a valid rule are set. A class with no conditions shows the Add Event Conditions prompt.

Apply a class to machines

Creating a class doesn't attach it to anything on its own. You apply it to a measurement point with Choose Class Template when setting event rules. Once applied, the class's thresholds raise that point's Warning and Alert events and are drawn on its velocity-RMS trend. Applying the same class to a whole line of similar machines is how you keep their limits consistent.

Edit or delete a class

Open a custom class to change its name, description or conditions (Save Changes), or Delete it (with a confirmation). Individual conditions are added, edited and removed one at a time.
