With visilogic we were able to copy from program files (+86) to program files and run 2 visilogic at the same time to compare uploaded program from other versions. It is a useful tool for troubleshooting. Will this be available for unistream?

You can store the date every couple seconds or minutes and compare the stored to rtc. If different hit reset your data.

Had some time to work on the drum. I was able to edit the data table add more columns and run it like the drum sequencer in visilogic. I can't seem to figure out how to change the time format. The unilogic sample drum has a column "time". I can edit it on the plc screen, but is a MI. 1000 means 1 sec. is there a way to change this a timer (mm:ss)? It would be easier for the operator to enter time instead of milliseconds.

Now that the coil is not there, I could move 36 and 146 between 35 and 146. I know it is rough. 7 years in college wasted...………….

What, like you never had a runaway bit. Have to keep them contained. I think I had some other coil on the outside, but got deleted

It is a mixing machine that mixes back and forth for a couple minutes then runs the material into an opener that chews it up a bit to have a perfect mix. MD41~AZ8.VLP

I am trying to see what would it take to convert my visilogic programs to unilogic. I use a lot of drum sequencer in visilogic. I am playing with unilogic examples/drum. first question. How can I remove row 0 so the table starts with 1 (it would be step 1)? next how can I use a preset timer to jump to next step instead of time column? Can I delete time column? as you can tell, I am new to this

No suggestion how to fix it, but rather a good practice. I use the same screens, snap on modules and extension modules on all my machines. In some cases it might be an overkill, but keeping a spare (or 3 in this case) eliminates downtime. Btw I have not had a failed unit in 8 years.

Thanks Joe. You've seen my program, it is a lot to convert. Looks like I have a new winter project.

You mean like using SB 7 -|p|- to increment an MI and display it with one or two decimals, then reset it when you reach 60 min?

It would be nice not to re-wright 500+ rungs.

Thanks for the link. I am new to unilogic. This is the first time I am trying to connect to it. It has a program in it and I was trying to upload it to take a look. Visilogic has had a long run. Eventually I have to start using the newer system.

In visilogic the usb cable that came with the v1210 works, I also use a usb to serial converter for the v1210 port 1 and 2 and that works also. I use a ugreen usb to Ethernet converter on the v1210 and that works also. When I try to use the Unitronics usb cable with unilogic that's when it doesn't work. Same with the ugreen Ethernet converter, it doesn't work for unilogic only for visilogic.

Yes. I've tried to set it up as I do with visilogic. The USB doesn't work because windows thinks it is a serial converter. When I tried to update the driver windows said it has the best driver for it. This is on windows 10 MS surface. When I do it on my windows 7 (Mac with windows on it) same problem with Ethernet. Windows 7 doesn't have the driver for the USB. I need to find it somewhere and install it. I've been using this Mac with windows on it for 7-8 years without problems.

We acquired a machine from one of our plant and it has a USP-070-B10-XR1 with a USC-P-B10 cpu. No inputs or outputs. They've never used it. I am trying to connect to it with no luck. The panel's IP is 10.1.10.220 SM 255.255.255.0 DG 10.1.10.3. I am using a usb to network adapter (no rj45 on my laptop) that works fine on all my vision plcs. If I try to change the panel's IP to 192.168.001.002 as recommended (that's what I use on my v1210s direct connection) it says illegal panel IP settings, please enter valid IP settings. What gives?

Thank you gentlemen. Joe, I've emailed you the program. Thank you for the help!

I have a data table that collects date-time-shift time-machine run time-PO number-lbs loaded into that PO number. We want to input employee name into the table. Planning to put a barcode on the employee's ID. I have a Quantum IS3480 barcode scanner connected to port 2 and I can display the barcode info on the screen. It scans to start of vector MI350 (raw scan 1 of 50) and it set to 30 characters. How do I plug this info into my table?

Tested it on another pc and it works fine there. Hmm.....

Trying to get a data table out of my V1210. When I click run project it calls and populates the log status, but after 3-5 seconds "runtime error 429 ActiveX component can't create object" pops up. When I click ok, it closes dataxport. When I open it again it will set the data table from the plc once then the error pops up again. What am I doing wrong again?

My customer decided to change the work order number from a 4 digit to a 7 digit number. In UniCan send parameters I can only pick MI not ML. How do you guys deal with this? thank you!

Is it an e3xb or e4xb? The E3xb has mostly relay outputs so that will take sometime to drop. Try to use output 0 or 1 those are transistor outputs. How long is your air line? Compressed air is not a good "fluid " to transfer power. Since there is no pressure on the other side of the piston. When you close the solenoid the line between the solenoid and the cylinder's piston still has some pressure. You can pressurize both side of the cylinder and use two solenoids to release the pressure on the desired direction side and close when it reached the desired position I had a project before that had some overshoot problems. I just used the within range function block to slow down then stop.

I will try it that way, thank you!

I use UniCan between my Unitronics V1210s, but a new project requires to get signals from an Allen Bradley plc that I have no access to. I am not willing to pay the crazy $$ Allen Bradley wants for just this project. Currently they have a bunch of relays even between the AB plcs. Is there a way to share the 0v on all the power supplies and just use the inputs/outputs to talk to the machines? Thanks in advance.

A pin on the back of the 1210 was bent so the snap on module did not connect properly.

We are duplicating a machine. V1210 with V200-18-E3XB and EX-D16A3-TO16 just like the old one that works perfectly. Running into input problems. Input is on as it should and it does not change in live mode. Like I trip a breaker but it does not change status on plc. If I trigger another input that works. What gives?
