Hi all,
I'm new to the Siemens world and need help with keeping a running total of a value and displaying that on an HMI. Here's what I have:
- Simatic S7-200 PLC using Step 7 Micro/WIN
- Simatic KTP600 HMI using WinCC flexible
I have an encoder that measures linear feet. This value is displayed on my HMI as Current Total Feet. Current Total Feet can be reset at any time. I want to create another tag called Daily Feet that will accumulate the linear footage from the entire day based on Current Total Feet. I want the Daily Feet register to have a reset of its own too. The reset part isn't a problem for me, as I can just move a zero into my register when a button is pressed.
Are there any instructions that will help to do this running total or is there another method?
Thanks,
Ray
