Wow--that would be programmed with UPLC, which was an STL-based program that ran in Windows in a DOS window!
I joined Unitronics in 1998, and the first documentation job I did was Axis Movement for UPLC...
Check out the memory on this baby!
Amazing--some of these dinosaurs are actually still up and running- 1

But sometimes for me it's: "Oh poop, here's this thing I knew I had and spent ages looking for....bummer I found it a day after I eventually gave up and bought a new one to use!
Sometimes? That's GAP!!!

Hi 🙂
The downloadable Version Changes is taken from the What's New in the Help.The Version Changes open with the current version at the top; the version previous follows that on the next page.
Below is a screenshot from the Help showing changes in the current version; if you download the version changes, you can see that the previous version supports multi-axes EtherCAT motion, EV Charger (OCPP) support, and more.
Please let me know if this helps - I may have misunderstood your question.

Hi @thelmus,
Error code -318 means that for some reason, voltage is not applied to the drive.
Is that your case?
@Cara Bereck Levy this code had been added to the list later on, could you please add it to the list of error codes?
Hope this helps
Rivka
Will do so -thanks 🙂

Hi @Fabios!
I have asked the team to fix the comment in that example program, including removing the word 'server' and replace it with 'client'.
Thank you so much for pointing that out, and I apologize if this error caused problems!
Ciao 🙂

@JOTA, I am sorry that you ran into this issue.
You are correct--it is not a bug, it is just the way it works...however, that was certainly not intuitive, and I am glad you found the correct solution.I have clarified the Help which will be released with the next version. The topic now includes a better explanation and an example - this will help future users 🙂

Hi!
@FelipeI submitted your requests to the team. I think that some are not possible...but, our team is very inventive 🙂
Thanks for submitting - many features have been added to our products in response to user requests! -

This one took me a little while to get, and needed a little research. Those of you who know immediately can laugh at my ignorance.
Wait for it 🤪

@Flex727 --please try the 8.3 convention and let me know what happens 🙂

The Help file often refers to the "Standard Vision" product while what you have is the "Enhanced Vision" product. They are functionally almost the same - mostly some added features and capabilities. Usually, when needed, the entry will simply mention the differences between the two products rather than have a totally separate entry for each (the same VisiLogic program is used for both product lines). In the interest of keeping costs low, I think this is justified.
I agree. This is why I stopped recommending other brands to my customers some years ago and now only accept work for Unitronics PLC programming. The software is great and the documentation is good enough for most needs. Since this software (and documentation) is free, I can understand why they don't have an army of technical writers keeping everything perfectly up to date.
There is a Help topic explaining the difference 🙂
And unfortunately...no army of tech writers...
I do try to fix issues called to my attention.
> I don't need the element to be linked to anything but apparently you can't define an ASCII string element unless a Link is specified (the 'OK' button is greyed out if none is specified). I simply chose the bit which is set to indicate that this particular screen is being displayed thinking that it would always be '1' whilst displaying this screen and that all would be well. If it is changed to an unused bit variable the flicker goes away.This seems like a pretty obscure nugget of information so I hope that some other frustrated person who is plagued by a stubborn flicker might benefit from this.<
I have put this on my to-do list - I will try to clarify the topic for the next version 🙂 -
Hi!
Can you please clarify:you wrote:

Hi--are you using Unitronics Controllers?

This is an excellent thread--great suggestions.
Vision has been taken as far as it can go, and people really do manage to create fabulous displays. UniStream HMI design is more advanced.

I have probably watched the entire original series several times--the last time being with my family during the first lockdown, when we really did not want to be on Planet Earth!

Forwarding this one 😄to my tech writer's group!

No, not run automatically--according to the developers, this was provided for huge, huge projects that have been heavily edited--really rare--not something that needs to be run on the overwhelming majority of projects.

Hey--remember STL?
Does anyone born after {fill-in-date} know that there is STL? 🤪So--hot off the presses from the development team:
- Open New project
- Set PU values:
- Add some Ladder Logic:
- Right Click on "!Main Routine" and select "STL View"
- Reading the above is the best answer

So do you recommend this process be run routinely? I often start new projects using a previous project that is somewhat similar. However, much editing of the HMI screens will take place. Should I run this near the conclusion of the project before final load into the PLC? Or also perhaps at various times during the project development?
I don't have an exact answer - project complexity varies. If your projects are working well, you've probably done ok without it up until now. This was added to help with mega-projects--what people do with the HMI is really amazing. I it is probably a good idea to run Fix when finalizing.
Hey, even though my work is supposedly all safe in the Cloud...I still have backups...just in case 🙂 -

Surely the system doesn't work like emails needing compaction?
No--but with any software, there is always work behind the scenes to improve performance 🙂

oops...Sorry.
Here in Uni-Land, things sometimes get lost translation (and I do mean translation; our development team is a multilingual crew 😊)
The right term is 'relocate images'.
'Fix' is a process that rearranges the images allocation in memory for better performance.
