Good morning, All...
I searched the forum yesterday and this morning and was surprised that I didn't find more on this topic. Essentially, I would like to track the amount of time that a piece of equipment runs for. Call it runtime, elapsed time - totalizer?
SLC 5/03 (1747-L553) Processor
It seems relatively simple:
-If Pump #1 is running
-Start Runtime Timer (Retentive)
-When Pump #1 stops running
-Stop Runtime Timer and Move Accumulated Value to register
I don't know for sure how long the pump(s) will be running and it will not necessarily be the same each time they run. That being said, I cannot depend on the "timer done" bit to move my accumulated value into memory.
Can anyone provide some insight on what a good approach might be?
Thank you,
Justin
