Pareto Analysis

The Pareto Analysis module allows you to combine different input data to display a Pareto chart. This is used in the following applications, among others:

Error analysis: Identifying the most common sources of errors

Quality management: Determining the main causes of quality problems

Time management: Diagnosis of which tasks take up most of the time

Optionally, a Boolean signal can be selected for the Enable Execution input so that the algorithm is only active if the value of the selected signal is TRUE.

Configuration options

• Single Input: Selection of whether a single input or several independent input channels should be used.
• Num Channels: Number of input channels if Single Input is FALSE.
• Num Elements: Number of elements to be compared if Single Input is TRUE.
• Pareto Mode: Mode for calculating the output values.
• Count: The cycles in which the respective input channel is TRUE are counted.
• Timespan: The timespans in which the input channel is TRUE are added up.
• Threshold 00, Threshold 01, ..., Threshold n: Comparison operator and threshold for monitoring input values.
• Channel Name 00, Channel Name 01, ..., Channel Name n: Alias of the input channel.

If the configuration option Single Input is set and an input of type Enumeration is linked to the input, configuration options are set automatically: Number of input channels: 1 Number of elements to be compared: Number of enumerations Threshold values: Values of the individual enumerations

Output values

• Output: Sorted absolute values. The output type depends on the Pareto mode.
• Accumulated Relative Output: Accumulated relative output values.
• Channel Name 00, Channel Name 01, ... Channel Name n: Sorted alias names of the input channels.
