MFD

Hi

I would like to display the actual running time of my machine in h:m:s.The timers limits me to either h:m or m:s.My machine however runs a lot for less than a minute and these time does not getting recorded.I am monitoring it over a 12h period in order to work out my downtime.But the hours does not match.

Thanks

Willy

Hi Willy,

MFD has also four up-time counters. They only can display hours (although their internal resolution is higher) but in combination with a timer (m:s) you will be able to display h:m:s.
The up-time counter and the timer should be switched with the same marker bit i.e.

If any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Kindest regards

Here is a sample program that uses cascading counters to count seconds, minutes and hours.

The seconds are in MW1, the minutes are in MW2, and the hours in MW3.

Input 1 enables the timing and Input 2 clears the times.

I have not tested the long term accurace of this method...
