  1. Hello, Thank you for using our Unitronics Forum. The UAG-XKxxx expansion adapter is used for connecting up to 8 modules remotely. The UAG-XKPxxx has an embedded power supply and is used when connecting between 9 to 16 modules remotely.
  2. Hello, Thank you for using our Unitronics Forum. Below is a file I created in VisiLogic to log the amount of time a process is running. Hope this helps. http://forum.unitronics.com/files/file/38-%7B%3F%7D/
  3. Version VisiLogic 9.7.9 Build 2

    626 downloads

    Timer that accumulates the amount of time a condition is running.
  4. Please send the project in for review to support@unitronics.com
  5. The table of status messages pertaining to the SMS configuration block can be found in the help files: Communications>Communication FBs>SMS>Modem Status and Error Messages. Please click the blue linked "SMS Operands" above the Related Topics. This will bring you to all the operands related to the SMS FBs, the table is for the SMS Configuration.
  6. Hello, If you wish to reset and initialize the whole controller, you could set SB 24 and reset it off of the power-up bit (SB 2). If you only wish to reset the MBs, you could perform a vector store from MB 0 for 8192 MBs(or 4095 MBs depending on your controller) storing a value of SB 0 (always 0).
  7. You must set up the communication port you wish to use. For instance, if you wish to use the RS485 port on the CPU, you must go into the PLC Communications drop down menu, then the Physical menu, and select the RS485 Serial option. To the right you, in the Properties Window, you should have the work mode set to CPU. This will allow you to choose this channel in the COM Tx function block.
  8. Hello DaveE, Thank you for using our Unitronics Forum. Sending ASCII information/messages can be accomplished in UniLogic by using our Message Composer found in the Solutions Explorer window on the left hand side. Using this drop down tab, you can create a CPU Protocols Message to create your ASCII message to be sent to a device. More information can be found in our help files in UniLogic under Protocols: Third-Party > Message Composer.
  9. Hello Jan, thank you for using our Unitronics Forum. You can use our "Read Row from DTI" function block under our Data Table: Indexed tab in UniLogic. This will copy a row of the data table into a struct. I would copy it into a "buffer struct", then copy the ASCII string of the Column (from the buffer struct) to where ever you want to move the information to. Then increment the index of the data table and do the same for the rest of the rows. Let us know if this helps.
  10. Hello, Thank you for using our Unitronics Forum. When the drum sequencer scan block stops being energized, it will finish the time remaining in this step, and remain static in this step. Once it is energized again, it will continue to run from where it last left off. In order to restart the process if de-energized, you must create an additional step where there the timer is 0 and all the outputs are off. In the logic, you will use the Go To Step block when the trigger is toggled off. This will be the all outputs off step. See below:
  11. Hello Tzachi, Thank you for using our Unitronics Forum. For your force gauge, does it work when you have a value within range? I see your X input value is at 2, which is not within 204-1023, which explains the out of range value in your Y conversion. For your thermocouple, the value you are receiving is multiplied by 10 for more precision. For instance, a value of 220 would really mean 22 degrees Celsius (assuming you chose the Celsius mode). There is not linearization required for this input, just be sure you do your math in accordance to your value being a multiple of 10, and you display it with a forced one-decimal place offset. Please let us know if this resolves your issue(s).
  12. Hello Denis, Thank you for using our Forum. Unfortunately, we do not support replacements of controller backlights. However, you can try to adjust the backlighting by changing the value in SI9. If this does not resolve the issue, please contact our tech support at support@unitronics.com to resolve this matter. Thank you.
  13. If a reinstall does not work following the PDF attached above, then please send this error into Support: support@unitronics.com
  14. Once windows is fully up to date, please reinstall VisiLogic if the matter is not resolved. Please follow the procedure of the attached document to ensure VisiLogic is properly reinstalled. VisiLogic Reinstall Instructions.pdf
  15. Hello Michael, Thank you for using our Forum. In order to use Modbus via the UAC-02RS2 communication module, you would need to manually create the communication via the COM Rx and COM Tx function blocks in the Serial tab. We do have an RS232/RS485 converter that can be implemented with the CPU RS485 connection, which will allow you to use our Modbus communication function blocks. (Part #M90-19-R4). What is the radio you are trying to use with this PLC?
  16. Hello, Thank you for using our Forum. Please ensure you have full administrative privileges. When you run VisiLogic, run it as an administrator by right clicking the icon and selecting "Run as administrator". Let us know if this resolves your issue.
  17. Good to hear! Glad you got your program working. Please feel free to contact our tech support with any questions you may have: support@unitronics.com
  18. Yes, each socket is already configured to a port, but you can change it in the configuration if you wish. Socket 0: Port 20000 Socket 1: Port 20256 Socket 2: Port 502 Socket 3: Port 20257 Some port numbers are already defined for communications. For instance, Port 502 is commonly used for MODBUS communication and Port 25 is used for e-mail routing between servers.
  19. Hello, Thank you for using our Unitronics Forum. In order to use remote access while also sending e-mail via the Ethernet, you would need to initialize another socket and use that port number to connect and control the PLC via remote access. Our Ethernet ports will support up to 4 sockets for connection. -Shane
