If it is a touch screen PLC do the following: Press any point on the screen for about 5 seconds. A password screen will pop up --> the default password is 1111. Then press Ethernet and you will be able to see you network properties. In non-touch screens, first press the (i) button for more than 5 seconds. The rest is the same...

Hi, Please see attached application. I am aware it is created for V570 but it demonstrates how to easily implement an SMS receive and display code. For further questions feel free to contact us at support@unitronics.com V570_Display_any_SMS.vlp

Hi, In general your configuration is correct. The only thing is that you don't need the RS232 to RS485 converter, because you can set one port to work in RS232 mode while the other works in RS485. Regarding RS485 network configuration see attached PDF. For further support you are welcome to contact support@unitronics.com RS485.pdf

Hi, Unistream and its IDE Unilogic are brand new products that are still undergoing major improvements. Unilogic help file is under construction and every day more information is available. For help regarding Unilogic functionalities I recommend watching videos in Unitronics Youtube channel or contacting us directly at support@unitronics.com Regarding your questions: 1. Working with Date/Time variables in UNilogic is a bit different from Visilogic. Store to Array will not work for these functions. Try using the Schedule FB from RTC menu instead. 2. Reset Numeric function will be added to the next version of Unilogic. In the meantime use the Store function block.

Hi Aaron, Unfortunately, I cannot assist you regarfing ditributing PLC code via programming languages. However, you can use our free software Unitronics Download Manager. The software is used for application download for multiple users, both via serial/CANbus connection and TCP/IP connection. You can define multiple applications for multiple hosts. I attached the application's help file. Please see if this solution suits your needs. Download Manager.pdf

Hi, Unitronics does not currently support Eplan files/macros.

Hi, Please see attached zipped folder. It contains all the basic information and help to start using web server with Visilogic. For further questions post here. WebServer.rar

Hi, It is not possible to export the STL code. However, you can view the STL code by going to Window menu-->STL. This will present the code, and if you need access to the text itself you can take a screenshot and convert the image to text via 3rd party software.

Hi, Unitronics Vision series supports a limited selection of modems. Unfortunately, Airlink Raven XT is not one of them. It is possible however, to define a custom modem with your own AT commands.

Dear Stressed Irish Student, The direct answer to your question is no. You cannot set and MB (digital output) to set an analog output. However, you can use the Linearization FB to make this conversion. The first problem you have is a non-standard input device (0.25-4 V), but this can be solved by using only a fracture of the 0-10V input value. Then you need to scale this value to fit a 4-20 mA value. I attached an application that demonstrates this. Inside the linearization FB you will find 6 values. These value depend on the resolution of the I/O module (in our case it is 10bit, what means that the values range is 0-1023): X and Y are the input and output respectively. X1 is the minimum input value, and because the minimum input value is 0.25V, our X1 value will be 1024/10*0.25=~26. Y1 is the minimum output value (which is 4mA) and will be calculated as 1024/20*4~=204. Respectively, X2=1024/10*4=410 and Y2=1023. That's it. Now you have a signal convertor. Regarding you second question, you can add a term for Auto/Manual mode and manually set the output value. See attached application and help file regarding analog I/O definitions. For more information see Visilogic help. V570_Analog converter.vlp Analog IO.pdf

Sorry for that comment, from some reason the first link I found was regarding SUCOnet encoder... Anyway, as far as the manual says, the only way for switching baud rate is via DIP-Switch (see attached pic).

Alex, Your problem is not just the baud rate, but also the communications protocol. According to the manual, this device communication protocol is SUCOnet, a proprietry fieldbus system of Klockner-Moeller, which is specificially for use with Moeller networks. In general, Unitronics FB protocol is flexible enough to retrieve information transmitted in this method, but then again - you have the baud rate problem... Another thing - LSS protocol settings is related to CANopen protocol, which your device does not support.

Hi Version 9.6.0 is the latest Visilogic release. Regarding the export errors, please send the application to support@unitronics.com

One comment regarding RS232 and Arduino: To communicate between Vision and Arduino controllers via serial connection, it is needed to use an RS232 to TTL convertor. You can find more information regarding the differences in the next link: https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/215

There you go: http://www.unitronics.com/Downloads/Support/PLC%20tools%20and%20applications/WebServer.zip

Hi Mike 1- Absolutely. It is actually pretty easy to configure. I attached a sample application (also available in Visilogic) for your convenience. The application was created for V350 but you can use it to understand the programming that need to be done. 2 - You can connect the input of the slider to the target of the stepper. By linearizing the signal from the slider you can create any jog configuration you like. 3- The controller you picked will meet your needs as you defined them in this post. If you don't need many I/O, you can purchase the V130-33-TR20 -12 DI instead of 22 and 6 DO instead of 8. I hope that helps... V350_PTO example plus Jogging.VLP

Hi, Please send your application to support@unitronics.com I will try to solve your issue.

In general, when using UDP connection there is no limit to the devices that can communicate over the same socket, although there will be a chance of packets being lost due to the charactheristics of the protocol. As an alternative, you can add a term to the application that will activate only one UDP scan FB every 500mS (for instance). Again, this could mean losing some of the packets being sent from the PLC not being scanned at the moment. The best way will be using a different socket (if you have one to spare). As an alternative, you can change the protocol from UDP to TCP - which means more reliable communication. However, It will take some reprogramming to do...

I think i understand what is happening: You use two consecutive UDP_RAW Scan function blocks that are using the same socket and port (in the same system scan). I suppose that these two are being mixed up somehow and messing up your IP adress. Do the following: 1. disable the rung with the first UDP_RAW Scan function block (the one that refers to MI1170 as the IP adress). Download and run the application. If MI1183 will not change to 5 it means that we found the problem. 2. Add a TCP/IP socket init FB to the application and define it as UDP with an unused socket and port. 3. Define one of the UDP_RAW Scan function blocks with the freshly defined socket parameters. Please let me know if that worked for you

Obviously MI1173 is being overwritten. Try changing the operands defining the IP adress from MI1170 (to isolate the problem make sure that the new operands aren't defined in any other controllers (E1,E2,IZO)). If the problem persists please send the application to support@unitronics.com

No need for any procedure description, just go to TCP/IP Card Init and define a constant IP

Hi, There can be many reasons for MI values to be changed unwantedly. A common reason can be a request sent to one of the slaves in the UniCAN network, which in returns write a different value to the MI. For keeping your IP adress unchanged you have two options: 1. set your IP as a static adress (and not as MI's). 2. keep your IP in a read-only data table. In that manner it cannot be changed. If the problem persists, feel free to contact us at support@unitronics.com

Hi Pascal, The answer to your question is yes. DataXport is another free software from Unitronics (avaliable from here ). You can use it to log and export data tables on a schedule basis. It resembles UniDDE in the means of defining the controller and connetion. You will find relevant information on the help file. For more information you can write directly to support@unitronics.com

Hi TozoM8, 1. The Microsoft Surface series includes three basic models. Only the Surface Pro 2 could run windows appliocations such as Visilogic. 2. Although Visilogic could run on Windows RT based systems, it is not officially supported by Unitronics and compatibility issues may occur. Hope this helps

Hi, Visilogic has a minimum limit of 17 nets per subroutine. Although, you can add a Subroutine Return from the Utils-->Calls menu. There aren't any improvements in performance for deleting empty nets, but if it bugs you esthetically, you can minimize them by pressing the Minus sign on the top left edge of every net.
