[DataXport Error]

Hi Forumites,

I am encountering communication error while using the Dataxport utility software.

I have been using this for a while but for the past 3 days I am not able to create a table on the same.

Please find the below communication error. I am able to read the values from the PLC to the data tables (see the attached).

Has some one faced similar issues on the utility software. I have checked the settings one to one.

 

Thanks

 

Cheers

[Cant communicate with V570 after downloading a program with Protocol FB]

I have data tables in my program.

Do I need to download the program first and then the data tables to the plc separately?

[How Do I Load a Project with the SD Card?]

Hey canvJ.

Can you forward me unitronics answer to your question. I am also interested on security measures.

=)

Thank you for contacting Unitronics Tech Support.  

 

What do you need for security?  Are you filtering out who can connect to your web server?

 

Usually the security for who can connect in to the PLC is dealt with on the modem side when you set up the port forwarding.  When connecting to the PLC’s web server outside the network, they first have to connect to the modem on the PLC’s network.

 

You may also set up similar security by keeping a list of “secure” IP addresses in a data table, then matching the IP that connects to see if it is in the data table list.  If it is not, disconnect the TCP/IP connection.

 

Furthermore, if you wish to have a log-in page with different levels of operators, you will have to create the HTML pages for this type of log in.  You can then load these HTML files into an SD card, and access the “Advanced Webserver” on the PLC.  Use the logic in the PLC to load the appropriate web pages.

 

Please let me know if this helps.  Please let me know a little further what type of security features you would like to incorporate.

 

Please feel free to contact us with any other questions or concerns.

I just finished a project with Spanish, French, and German libraries.  BTW - I spent more time with Google Translate than writing code!  You need to install a second copy of the fonts you will be using and be sure to "Select All" when it shows the characters available.  Unitronics' built in fonts will not display special characters, but you can install the same font and it will list it a second time at the bottom of the list.  Selecting this font set will allow you to dial in the codes for the characters you need.

Thanks Joe.

Will explore that options and let you know the results.

I think, but not sure, that this is an issue with the specific fonts you have installed in the project.

Thanks Flex, after your post just tried out with different fonts from FONT HANDLER.

Will pick the one which supports special characters.

[Question about output]

Hey! 

Sorry for my bad english i'm french

I need to do a projet where I need to use a output on my unitronics V350 TRA22.

So I use visilogic. 

I need to send information to a variator for move forway and move forback when I press a bouton on the tactil screen, and I really don't know how I can do this.

For conclude I need to use output for send a power in volt, it's possible ?

Thank for your help

Hi Sefapie,

You can energize an output using a relay and make the contacts(NO,NC) wet with the particular voltage and send the same to the field.

Is this what you are looking for me or some thing else.

 

Cheers

Hi All,

 

Attached is the picture where I have an issue in English to French translation,needs some inputs from team.

 

When I translate the English Characters in French the characters such as e (with a tick mark) it allows to save me in font Arial 8 & Arial 12,B only.

If u notice in the attached pic I had Arial Narrow and preview on PLC screen shows as * for special characters.

Is that mean I need that special characters to be displayed only in above said fonts only or can I save the same in other fonts too.

 

Please throw some light on this.

I don't see anything wrong here. My recommendation is to uninstall and reinstall Remote Access. Be sure to install and run Remote Access as an Administrator.

Thanks Flex will do the same and let you know the results.

[Monitor and PLC V570]

 

Hi Flex & Ausman,

Please find the attached screens where I am encountering an error while connecting the same to Remote Access.

Screen-1 is the successful connection between PLC-PC. (PLC name hided for Privacy Reasons).

Screen-2 is the error when I am trying to connect the system online test.

 

It would be nice if you guys could spot the error.

 

Cheers

Hi

Just Curious to know about remote access I downloaded the same from main site.

When I tried to connect my PLC through RA it shows run time error "5".

I found data export and SD card suite more useful but no success with this package. 

 

How to connect the same and get the best out of this package.

[How Do I Load a Project with the SD Card?]

Frankly, I'm not an internet security expert. I would direct that question to Unitronics support (support@unitronics.com).

Thanks Flex.

I have already mailed and awaiting a response from their tech support team.

[How Do I Load a Project with the SD Card?]

Thanks a lot Flex.

 

I have one more quick question to you

 

I have enabled the web service utility of V-570 PLC.

I am able to view the data's on the web browser, now I need to  connect the same to the Plant network which has internet connectivity.

So in that case what security measures do I need to take care of the PLC.

[How Do I Load a Project with the SD Card?]

Hi Flex727,

Can I recommend my customers to use SANDISK make SD Cards only?

In that case I am promoting a particular brand to my end users

 

Vijay

[How Do I Load a Project with the SD Card?]

Are you giving it a full 30 sec to a minute to detect the card? It does sometimes take longer than you think it should.

Hi Flex727,

Thank you for your reply.

 

Yes I am giving more than a minute for detection. Today morning to a surprise I bought a brand(SAN DISK MAKE-8 GB) new SD card and plugged it into my PLC, now the same is working.

[How Do I Load a Project with the SD Card?]

Dear Forumites,

 

I have an issue with SD Card.

 

For the first time  SD card plugged into PLC, the PLC detects the SD Card and the System Bit (SB217, SB218 shows "1" ).

Once the data is written to SD Card and if the card was removed from PLC, after copying all the data's  and when SD card is inserted back into PLC it doesn't detects the card. I need to do lot of trial and errors to make the card detectable.

 

I even tried with different make of SD cards such as Allen Bradley, Transcend, SanDisk etc still the problem persists.

 

I followed the safe removal process and every time when I place the card in the PLC using SD Card suite I am formatting the card

as per the webinar video series still I am getting this issue.

 

The Controller I am using is V570.

 

Can any one throw some light on this.

 

An appropriate reply in this regard is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Vijay
