Omron CX programmer retentive timer

I wanted to use a retentive timer where I can read the accumulated time in the time(i.e. the PV of the timer).

I the case of allen B we use RTO(i.e. retentive timer ON).


Application:
When my trigger is ON the timer starts timing.
when it goes OFF the timer pauses.
when it goes back ON it resumes the timing.
and after some time I want to read how much the timer has timed.


Any Solution to this in Omron?

Look at the totalizing timer TTIM(087) instruction.

I normally use a counter and a pulse.

Even with retentive timers on AB's to log runtime I usually cycle a 6 second RunTime timer.

For each pump, conveyor, blower, etc i want to log:

XIC RunTime.DN XIC Pump1_Running CTU Pump1_1Minute [preset = 10]

When the 1Minute counter is Done I add 1 minute to the runtime log and reset the 1Minute counter.

Over the time of a week the 6 second check is fine, and only off a few seconds when compared to retentive timers.

On the plus side, standardizing it this way transposes to all platforms I come across.
