Maintenance Item

Definition of a type of regular maintenance created by administrators or planners.

Models

class pytm4srv.models.MaintenanceMeasurementItem

A recurring numeric measurement that can be charted over time.

inventory_items: dict[int, int]

Maps inventory item IDs to the quantity of each consumed by taking the measurement. A quantity of 0 means the item is required to be present but not counted or measured, and will not be consumed from inventory upon taking the measurement.

completion_duration: Mapped[timedelta]

How long it is expected to take to complete this item, in minutes.

cycle_timer: Mapped[timedelta]

The total accumulated cycle time (in minutes) for use when the schedule mode is 1.

difficulty: Mapped[int]

How difficult this maintenance item is to complete. Useful for delegating to operators of varying training levels.

Value

1

2

Medium (default)

3

4

Expert (management supervision required)

equipment_id: Mapped[int | None]

The ID of the equipment this maintenance item is for.

Set to NULL for items that apply to a machine or the shop as a whole instead of a particular piece of equipment.

Only one of machine_id or equipment_id may be set for a given issue.

frequency: Mapped[str]

How often to repeat this schedule.

Valid options are:

  • Y (yearly)

  • M (monthly)

  • W (weekly)

  • D (daily)

  • H (hourly)

id: Mapped[int]

Unique ID across all maintenance items.

indices: Mapped[List[int]]

When to run within each occurrence of frequency.

For example: frequency=M and indices=[1, 14] will run the 1st and 14th of every month, but frequency=M and indices=[-2] will run on the second to last day of every month.

Ignored if frequency is set to H.

initial_entry: Mapped[datetime | None]

For newly-created maintenance items, this field can be used to set the previous entry date without creating an actual entry.

Once an entry exists for this item, the value of field will be ignored.

instructions: Mapped[str]

Instructions to users for completing this maintenance item.

interval: Mapped[int]

One out of how many frequency occurrences to run.

For example: frequency=D and interval=1 will run every day, but frequency=W and interval=3 will run every 3 weeks.

is_critical: Mapped[bool]

Whether the machine should be kept from running until this maintenance item is completed.

item_type: Mapped[str]

The type of this item. This corresponds to a model type and determines which fields are available.

See the item API endpoint documentation for the possible values.

machine_id: Mapped[int | None]

The ID of the machine this maintenance item belongs to.

Set to NULL for items that apply to the shop as a whole instead of a particular machine.

Only one of machine_id or equipment_id may be set for a given issue.

months: Mapped[int]

Months in which to run this schedule.

This is a bitfield (of length 16), so multiple months can be selected by combining their values with bitwise OR.

For example, to run only at the start of each quarter (January, April, July, and October), the value of this field would be 585 (1 + 8 + 64 + 512, or 0000 0010 0100 1001), or to run regardless of the current month, this field would be 4095 (0000 1111 1111 1111).

Setting this value to zero will deselect all months and prevent this schedule from ever running.

name: Mapped[str]

User-specified name for this rule.

needed_when_archived: Mapped[bool]

Whether this maintenance item needs to be performed for archived machines. Defaults to false.

If this maintenance item is not associated with a machine, this field does nothing.

needed_when_not_archived: Mapped[bool]

Whether this maintenance item needs to be performed for non-archived machines. Defaults to true.

If this maintenance item is not associated with a machine, this field does nothing.

process_id: Mapped[int | None]

If non-null, this maintenance item will only come due when this process is active.

Generally this process will be on the machine associated with this maintenance item, but this is not a requirement so shop-wide and equipment-linked maintenance items can use this as well.

remind_channel_id: Mapped[int | None]

The ID of the notification channel to which due reminders (and, optionally, warning messages) will be sent.

null disables sending notifications.

schedule_mode: Mapped[int]

How this maintenance item should be scheduled. This field can take the following values:

Value

Mode

Description

0 (default)

Clock time

The item will be due every timer_interval.

1

Run time

The cycle_timer for this item will be incremented by the active process’s cycle time each time a part is finished on the associated machine.

If the item is not associated with a machine, it will use clock time mode.

The item will be due every timer_interval of process production time.

2

Calendar

The item will be scheduled using the frequency, interval, indices, months, weekdays, and time_of_day fields.

threshold_lower: Mapped[float | None]

A warning will be sent if an entry is below this value.

threshold_notify_id: Mapped[int | None]

The ID of the notification channel to which threshold warnings will be sent.

NULL disables sending notifications, but in-app alerts will still be created.

threshold_upper: Mapped[float | None]

A warning will be sent if an entry is above this value.

time_of_day: Mapped[time]

What time of day to schedule for.

timer_interval: Mapped[timedelta]

If non-zero and the schedule mode is 0 or 1, the item will be due when this much time has passed since the last completion of this task.

Measured in hours.

trigger_alarm_id: Mapped[int | None]

The ID of the alarm that caused this maintenance item to become due at the alarm’s timestamp.

Once a new entry is created, OnTakt will reset this field to null.

trigger_alarms: Mapped[StringArray]

A list of NC alarm messages that will cause this maintenance item to become due immediately when present on the associated machine.

If this maintenance item is not associated with a machine (or is associated with equipment that is in turn not associated with a machine), this field does nothing.

This is processed independently of custom_alarms, so these should be the strings as reported by the control.

unit: Mapped[str]

The unit used for measurements.

warning_interval: Mapped[timedelta]

If non-zero, a warning will be sent this far in advance of the item becoming due.

Measured in hours.

weekdays: Mapped[int]

Days of the week on which to run this schedule.

This is a bitfield (of length 16), so multiple days can be selected by combining their values with bitwise OR.

For example, to run Monday through Thursday, the value of this field would be 15 (0000 1111), and to run regardless of the current day of the week, this field would be 127 (0111 1111).

Setting this value to zero will deselect all days and prevent this schedule from ever running.

class pytm4srv.models.MaintenanceTaskItem

A recurring task that must be completed on an interval.

inventory_items: dict[int, int]

Maps inventory item IDs to the quantity of each consumed by completing the task. A quantity of 0 means the item is required to be present but not counted or measured, and will not be consumed from inventory upon completing the task.

completion_duration: Mapped[timedelta]

How long it is expected to take to complete this item, in minutes.
