Figure 5-10 Totalizer Setup
Ext Reset Point: This indicates which external digital input will reset the Timer when Ext. Reset Enable
above is checked and the digital input is
enabled . The digital input needs to be programmed as a Timer
Reset type.
Reset Intrvl: This is the Reset Interval. This is the time in days, hours, minutes and seconds between
timer resets when Auto Reset is checked.
Reset Sync: If the Sync Enabled checkbox the Timer will reset the first time it reaches the set time.
This allows the user to synchronize the reset to a known time. This also allows several channels to be
synchronized together if the Reset Sync time is set to the same for all. This time is ignored if the enable
box is not checked.
Base Point: This is the actual source for the timer control. The channel selected from the drop down
menu should be set up for the correct input and in the correct units. If the timer is to free run DO NOT
select any Base Point
Reset Print: When this box is checked the timer reset information will be appended to the alarm/event
log each time the timer resets.
Power Up Reset: When this box is checked the Totalizer will start from zero each time the unit powers
up, otherwise it will carry on where it left of before.
5.1.3.7 Totalizer
The Totalize calculation keeps a running total of the value of a (base) point sampled at a programmed
rate. This will continue until the programmed reset interval time is reached at which time the value is
logged on the Alarm/Event log window (if Reset Print is enabled), is reset to zero, and the totalization
calculation begins again. However, a Low flow cutoff provision prevents totalization on flow rates that
meet or fall below the cutoff point. The data will also be recorded to disk if Alarm/Event logging is
enabled. The Totals are non-volatile unless the Auto reset option is active.
The Totalize Setup dialog window is shown right. There
are several options:
Auto Reset: If this box is unchecked the Totalizer will
run continuously unless External Reset is enabled. If
the Auto Reset box is checked then the totals will reset
at the reset interval once the start time has been met.
Ext. Reset Enable: This is the External Reset. If this
box is checked the total will be reset by an external
event via the digital inputs
Note: an optional digital I/O
card must be present in the system AND the designated
input must be
programmed as a totalizer reset for this to
work.
Reset Point: This indicates which external digital input
will reset the Totalizer when Ext. Reset Enable above is
checked and the digital input is
enabled . The digital input needs to be programmed as a Totalizer Reset
type.
Reset Intrvl: This is the Reset Interval. This is the time in days, hours, minutes and seconds between
total resets when Auto Reset is checked. The example above will reset the Total every 5 minutes.
Reset Sync: If the Sync Enabled checkbox is checked the
Total will reset the first time it reaches the set time. This
allows the user to synchronize the reset to a known time. This also allows several channels to be
synchronized together if the Reset Sync time is set to the same for all. This time is ignored if the enable
box is not checked.
