Totalizer Block – Typical Uses

You can use the Totalizer block to:  

  • Maintain a running total. For example, if you enter 00:00:00 in the block's PER field, the block adds each value it receives to its previous value.
  • Act as a counter. For example, if you set the scan time of an upstream Analog block and the Totalizer block's PER field to one, the Totalizer block increments by one each time SAC scans the Analog block.
  • Monitor production levels based upon shifts or time periods.
  • Process other blocks through the Next Block field.
