In many SCADAPack applications, it's essential to reset counters at regular intervals to track daily and monthly metrics accurately. This article outlines a logic-based approach to resetting counters at scheduled times using function blocks.
Objective
- Daily Counters: Reset automatically at midnight every day.
- Monthly Counters: Reset automatically at midnight on the first day of each month.
Approach
To achieve this, the logic uses the Schedule Function Block (FFB) to trigger resets at specific times:
- A schedule is configured to activate at 00:00 (midnight) daily.
- A separate schedule is configured to activate at 00:00 on the first day of each month.
These scheduled triggers are then linked to logic that resets the respective counters.
Logic Overview
The combined logic includes:
- Daily Reset Logic: Activated by the daily schedule FFB, which resets all daily counters.
- Monthly Reset Logic: Activated by the monthly schedule FFB, which resets all monthly counters.
This ensures that counters are cleared at the correct intervals without manual intervention.
