If you can connect a wire to a Graph FB to plot its data over a complete machine-cycle ...
... then you can connect a wire to a Statistics FB to find statistical data for the complete machine-cycle.
Compare with Element Properties dialog, which displays the data-values at the Master Machine Angle only.

![]() Channel / Derivative STEP 2.Click the Derivative drop-down and select the derivative for which you want Statistics
* The Data-Channels in the drop-down box are always: Dis, Vel, and Acc , even if the actual units are different. The actual units: •For a Kinematic-FB are three(3) motion-derivatives •For a Force-Data FB are Total Force/Torque, Force X, Force Y. Ignore the other separators in the dialog. STEP 3.Click |
STEP 2: Show the Statistics Properties
