Add Array in Logix 5000

[TechJunki 0]

I am looking for examples or methods used for adding an entire Array. For Example I have an array "TestArray[100]" and would like to get the sum of all 101 elements in the array and move the resulting value to a single DINT. I thought about doing some looping or such but was wondering if there was a way to evaluate this all at once other than doing Result = TestArray[0] +TestArray[1] +TestArray[2] +TestArray[3] + .........TestArray[100] Any examples you may use would be appreciated. Thanks

Have you thought of using an FAL or ADD instruction and a Counter .ACC (as an indirect address). Use a scan pulse to increment the counter and use an [integer] file to continually add the TestArray elements to itself. I don't believe I'm explaining it very well so this may be a better explanation: ADD FUNCTION SOURCE A TestArrayTOTAL SOURCE B TestArray[Counter.ACC] DESTINATION TestArrayTOTAL Where are you getting your array numbers from? Hope it helps a little...d2b

Just did this yesterday, read about FAL instruction in "help on instructions"

Here is an example

FAL is the instruction to use. You can configure the instruction to make the sum in a single scan or over multiple scans.
