rmjjr2007 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hi, New to Unitronics and basically newbie programmer, can I ask for help on what I'm trying to achieve. I have bought a Samba unit and trying to use on our Shot Blasting Machine we are manufacturing. I have done the Program Ladder and it works perfectly fine, also I managed to incorporate my ladder into HMI Screen for Displays. Now I want a Total Working Hour (Blasting Hour) Indicator of the Machine on my HMI . On the HMI, I used a Variable Timer Indicator link to a Timer (TE) on my Ladder. But it doesnt retain the Value and every time a cycle (work) is done it resets. I want the total (accumulated)l hours retained on the Display, because it will tell us to replace the Blasting Wheel (a part of the machine). I will aprreciate your help thanks.

MVP 2022 Flex727 Posted August 17, 2018 MVP 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I would do it this way: ML 0 would be your total accumulated hours. You could add a reset pushbutton that zeroes both ML 0 & MI 0 when the blasting wheel is replaced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisku Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Almost the same here. The only difference is that I am using an accumulated timer for more precision: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
