  1. Well after reading here and the suggestions here and carefully reading the instructions on visilogic help I understood a whole lot better.(We got the proper cable from the distributor) Not as hard as I thought it was. Buttttt. with the older 2.1 version I had I was able to update it to 3.0. On machine A. how ever when I got ready to upload project. guess what you said it, the program wasn't selected when it was downloaded error 244 or 424 something like that. And I went back to check the status on info on the PLC itself it had NO UPLOAD DATA..... And even if it did I prolly would still had to have a password which we don't know. Called the company overseas where we got it from U.K they want $6000!!! for a new PLC with the program in it. They got us. So now WE're thinking of option # 2. Update we got it via. option #2
  2. Ok the SD card has been formated On the main Info Menu for SD I don't see a down load tab. It have 7 rows altogether. First Main block says Firmware V.002.001.37 The first row block says: The second row says: Firmware :PLC=>SD Firmware:SD=>PLC APP: PLC=>SD APP:SD=>PLC Upload APP:PLC>SD DT:SD=>PLC DT:PLC=>SD To me it looks like the word PLC & SD is swapped on each row Which is the Download tab? I see upload I haven't put SD card in yet but will I have to create a password for this card? I read something about that or will it clone once I put the SD card in & press which tab? Dont want to render machine not working is the reason I ask & don't want to stop the process, I read. I assume once & if its downloaded I hit upload once in the new PLC monitor correct? Distributor sending out proper cable monday.
  3. Ha ha, Thanks Flex n Cara, I think Joe was just making an all out last resort method, lol. Yes Flex we looked at that first the exact way with the Flash light it was sat on 70/80 I cant remember.(Which is why we bought a New control screen). Machine A is running fine just VERY hard to make adjustments when needed but its been working for weeks like that not to much of a problem. I'm looking trying to get familiar with Visilogic. Reading the up/down load instructions are becoming a little more clearer. trying to get the communications cable figured out. Machine B (older V570 series with the Good screen has no usb/Sd card ports but Com 1 & Com 2 (Can I Use These?? Machine A with the Dead Back light has the Com 1 & Com 2 ports but it also have an SD CARD input. The New V570 has Com1 Com2 & SD CARD & Usb. which is what we were trying to go with but the older units doesn't have that. My Question is which I haven't found yet but still looking Can I use the SD Card slot to up/down load to on it then put in the new screen control. We'll get it figured out just taking a little longer. Thanks for help & suggestion guys. Yes I'm finding the instructions on the Sd card formating details just let me play a little more we'll figure it out.
  4. Thanks Joe.. Yes If things doesn't work out on the first try We'll call the distributor we bought from out of Atlanta.
  5. H,i New to the forum, and decided to come here for help. To keep it simple I am not very computer illiterate so please keep this in mind. However I can follow directions. Here at the plant where I work we have Machine A with V570 plc on ok? The screen is blacked out you have to use flash light to put/change input parameters in etc.(unit works just led's out). We also have Machines B & C with the V570. D & E have older models. We purchased A brand new V570 screen from your factory to Put in Machine A. (hope i didn't lose ya). What steps do I need to do exactly 1) 2) 3). To put the New V570 screen into Machine A to make it work? Do I copy or is there a way to put New screen in Machine B up/down load parameters to it then put back in Machine A? Step by Step process please. MACHINE A B & C all have the same program and work the same way to simplify things. Just want to exchange screen safely & keep parameters/programs----- and as simply as possible-----. Do I need to download any programs?(which one's). Or is there a simpler way? (remember I'm computer illiterate to new things but hopefully I can follow directions lol.) Thats why I need step 1) do this step 2) do this. Thanks for Any help you can give me before I try to tackle this .
