Mechanical Track: Setting Up a Centrifugal Pump
Module 2 Est. 2.5 h · estimate · draft
What you'll be able to do
- Set up FL, equipment, BOM and measuring points for a pump
- Raise a notification from a route finding
Why it matters in the plant
A well-built pump record makes route findings, parts and history usable. The pump is a made-up example.
Steps and transactions
1Model the pump and motor
Create the pump and motor equipment records and install them at the pump's FL. Example data only.
Craft notes
Mechanical.
Sources t-code catalog rows IL01, IE01, IE4N; [S2] (pump transmission/motor item example)
2Build the pump BOM
Add spares such as the seal and bearings (map example). Gaskets and lubricant come from the walkthrough's illustrative list Unverified.
Craft notes

Sources t-code catalog rows IB01; walkthrough source list (URLs below) caveat (illustrative)
3Add measuring points
Vibration, bearing temperature and a run-hours counter.

4Raise the route finding
A high vibration reading becomes a notification, then a corrective order.

Common mistakes
- Treating vibration limits as course facts: no limits are sourced. Use site standards TBD: owner to supply.
Check your understanding
- Which transaction installs the pump at its FL?
- Name two pump measuring points from the lesson.
- A route finds high vibration. What's created first?
Answer key
- IE4N [map I]
- Any two of: vibration, bearing temperature, run-hours counter [map B]
- A notification (IW21) [S11]
