I wrote a routine that stuffed a small data table that added the incoming value to a total and then stuffed it ito the top of a data table after pushing all the other ones down and incrementing a pointer. The pointer was the divisor of the total until it reached the total number of samples that | wanted, and then | used it to point to the row of the data table that had the oldest value and subtract it from the total before dividing it. Joe Tauser Posted March 28, 2021 Overkill? Yes. But very precise overkill with the ability to change the number of samples on the fly.

For a 100 point moving average you could use Mls and indirect addressing, For 1000 points, you probably need to use a Data Table, as Joe suggests above, but for 10,000 Flex727 Posted March 28, 2021 points or more you're probably out of luck. At one time I came up with a routine for an approximation of a moving average for any number of points that I've never used, because | don't trust it, but I'm interested in finding out if it might be useful. Simply subtract the average from the sum and add the most recent data point then divide by the number of points to obtain the new average, and repeat. Only 4 registers needed - the most recent data point, the sum, the number of points total, and the average. I've simulated it in an Excel spreadsheet and it appears to follow an actual moving average very closely, but I'm worried that there is a flaw that I'm not seeing that might crop up under unusual circumstances. | think | need a mathematician. + Quote °o HiAll,ihave tried the solution provided by @Flex727 and the solution works pretty well, i 6 did have to change the MI inputs to ML inputs as the number was overrunning and becoming muckingfud "*22tive, not really sure if thats the correct way butit did seem to work, one issue seem to dle get.is that sometimes my analog input seems to go negative and that really screws up my Posted March 29, average, is there a way to stop my analog input going negative, ido have a calibration 2021 adjustment which i would like to stop at 0 but can potentially go negative. nipsuiforumuntronies.comtopici8044-averaging-ar-analog-nput! 48(0410812024, 06:35 Averaging an analog inout - Vision & Samba PLC + HMI Controllers & Vis Lagie Software - Unitronies Support Forum: Progr ce rela | wut | easy cee a eee (03/29/2021 at 4:43 AM, muckingfuddle said: Flex727 cone issue i seem to get is that sometimes my analog input seems to go negative Posted March 29, : pes ' and that really screws up my average, is there a way to stop my analog input going negative Yes, insert this just above ladder rung 36: 6[819] | | ALonaTeD 0 NEN iRP ARB wise |, CALIBRATED jo + Quote °o Mvp: aos iO ow" I recommend STORE DIRECT "Value" to "Variable" with condition (value: kratmel use "Variable" for calculate AVERAGE.
