Totalizer Block

Purpose

The Totalizer (TT) block maintains a floating-point total for values passed to it from upstream blocks.

Features

The Totalizer block:

  • Is a secondary block.
  • Displays values in the iFIX WorkSpace and passes values to downstream blocks with up to 15 digits of precision.
  • Can be reset by using a SETOUT command from the Program block, a PUT operation from a Easy Database Access program, reloading the process database, or restarting the computer.
  • Can be used in a chain with exception-based or time-based processing.
  • Cannot be chained from an AR or DR block, as these blocks are not processed by SAC.
