NS10 DISPLAY

[BITS N BYTES 66]

I am using a level meter on an NS 10 screen to display the value of a data memory area in a CJ1M-CPU21. The value fluctuates quite rapidly so the level meter bounces around. Have tried using the AVG instruction in the PLC. Needed two AVG instructions both with Number of Cycles set to #0064. This works well but uses up a bunch of memory! Any simple ideas how to stabilize the display from within NS Designer? Would a screen macro be a good choice or is there an easier way? Happy Thanksgiving to All

Set your analogue input into the PLC to average the input.

I think what BobB is referring to is some of the analog modules have settable averaging built into the module itself. Check your manual for the particular module and then come back and ask questions. We can probably help.

If an analogue signal, have you checked the sheilding and grounding of the signal ?

use a 1 second pulse bit in the PLC logic so the value only updates once per second, or use a timer bit if you want an even slower update.
