ZelioSoft ladder language

[Aldoit 0]

Hi all,

 

I'm quite new to this all but here goes.

I have a SR2 system that manages a hydronic heating system, coordinates demand and valves, etc

I was wondering if there is a function in ZelioSoft that would allow me to measure how much time a valve is open (how much time a command is active). So after the heating season, I could see where the demand was in the system (in hours).

So far, the function I've seen do not allow this. (Counter will activate when there is a demand, but will not account for time). 

Anybody knows if this is actually feasible ?

Thank you

i skimmed over instruction set and yes there are options to measure time using timer or not. timers are really just counters. if the built in version does not work for you (maybe you need different range etc) then make your own using clock and counter. counters are always edge sensitive so to change counter value use input that is stream of clock pulses enabled when valve is open (just AND them).
