I am doing some preliminary work on a project where I will utilize a Prosense Flow Transmitter ( FSA1-42-27H ) with a P2K PLC. This will be a bit new to me and I have begun to consider how to best write the code to totalize water flow in total gallons. Any suggestions and/or example code would be appreciated. Thank you all!

I'm trying to do something similar. I'm using IFM 4-20mA flowmeters and I 've figured out the totalizing part. I have a task that executes every second and I can sum over the course of a longer time period to get a total
However, what I'd really like to do is to produce a daily total and reset. How do I use the 'system time ' in my ladder program? Ideally I want to start totalizing at 0:00:00 every day and reset at 23:59:59

Something like this?
The 'store Totals and Reset ' tag would trigger whatever logging/saving you do and then trigger a reset of your totalizing for the day.
The 'do New Day's Totalizing would begin the totalizing all over. You will lose about 1 second of totalizing this way.

That would work! Thanks so much!
