Use a Statistics FB to summarize data-values over a machine-cycle - e.g. Minimum, Maximum, RMS, ... .
After you connect a wire to the input-connector of a Statistics FB, you must select which Data-Channel (of the three available) you want to summarize.
Compare with Element Properties dialog, which shows the data-values for the Master Machine Angle.
STEP 0: Add a Statistics FB and connect a wire to its input-connector.
After you add and connect a wire to a Stats FB, there are two steps you need to do to get Statistics for a Data-Channel on a wire.

STEP 2.Click the “Channel / Derivative” drop-down and select the derivative for which you want Statistics Properties The Data-Channels in the drop-down box are always Dis., Vel., and Acc., even if the actual units of the data and data-channels are, for example, Force units.
Ignore the other separators in the dialog. STEP 3.Click |
STEP 2: Show the Statistics Properties
