AccControl

Controls accumulators, for example, motor run hours. You can reset the values of Run Time, Totalizer Inc, and No. of Starts (defined in the accumulator database), re-read these values from the I/O device, or flush pending writes of these values to the I/O device.

• ? matches any single character, for example, "Motor?10" matches "MotorA10" and "MotorB10"

This argument can be prefixed by the name of the cluster for example ClusterName.AccumulatorName.

1 - Reset Run Time and Totalizer value

2 - Reset No. of Starts

4 - Flush pending writes to the I/O device

5 - Re-read Run Time, Totalizer value, and No. of Starts from the I/O device

sClusterName:
