Check the configuration, you need to set the quality better tan 360.

You need to fill the Tables as Eyal explained. With a free software I think is normal you develop the program after the hardware is ready. I worked with Unitronics hardware since 2001 and Alarms wasn´t there at those days. Eyal example is a very nice looking and basic working alarm example. If you need something with more futures, then you are going to need to do it yourself or wait till new version with that future. I am starting to work with Unistream, but is your duty to learn what can you do with the new hardware and software. If I know I am going to need some future that is not implemented in Unistream, then I evaluate if I am going to have the time to develope my own future or maybe Vision series is the best option. I think with a little work you can solve this problem. Good luck

You´re welcome.

Hi Pete For text variables, numerica variables and timer variables you can select the following configuration: Style: FLAT Back Color: you need to select the "blue crystal" at the left side of the OK button. Is like selecting transparent as back color. With image variables things are a little bit complex. If you want great results, then you must manually paint the background of all your images, that´s because when you select the box of transparent background you can lose some zones of your image that you want to keep the same color you are making transparent. That´s why I love Unistream and Unilogic. No matter they upgrade Visilogic to accept PNG format, the transparency didn´t work as you expected. I will try to upload an image.

Hi Flex: I understand you are going to send MIs between 2 V570 (or Unitronics PLC´s). You can send the 160 registers in one action (but only if the 2 PLC´S are Unitronics). You need to use the Read/Write Mixed Data (you can send a max of 240 MI´s) in a single action command. I only use the Read/Write Mixed Data if working with Unitronics PLC´s. If you need to communicate with 3rd party then use the standard commands.

Hey Joe: I don´t know if the new versions accept to reset or store 0 to HSC or current positions variables. I keep doing with math: DW X 0 = DW. First time I needed to do this I almost got crazy, cause the first thing you check is the logic you are using for the numeric reset or store, but the problem is not there. Maybe the Unitronics guys can tell us why is not possible to reset that type of variables (linked to HSC or current position).

Some functions don´t allow storing 0. When is about reseting HSC or positions (step control) I do it multiplying the DW X 0 = DW.

When it´s about communications I follow some guides: Barcode Readers: 1.- Connect the Barcode Reader to the pc and check it works properly. 2.- Connect the barcode Reader and use a comm terminal software like (hercules). You can check exactly what the barcode is sending. 3.- Configure the Barcode Reader trying to format the protocol to something standard (like STX and ETX). 4.- Connect the V120 with the comm terminal (hercules) and check the protocol is working and your logic is ok. 5.- Finally connect the Barcode Reader to the V120 and only then you are going to be closer to make the comm work.

With 5 you can easily do it in less than 1 second. Remember you just need about 100 ms/slave.

Hi Dan: thanks for sharing your IP. It keeps alive. Now we can chat over the PLC.... Insert 2 Text blocks with keypad enable and then we can chat over Unistream! Please visit www.plc-apps.com and check the Unitronics Developer's Market. They are uploading a +600 3D high quality images for real view HMI displays.

Maurice: there is another option if you are looking for high quality 3D render images. Please visit www.plc-apps.com I will like to hear what do you think about the libraries.

I don´t know if you can print directly your trends. If you need a fast solution, I will use the VNC option to see remotely on a PC with a printer and then use the Print Screen option. Then you can start looking a more sophisticated way to do it.

I already made an application that prints to Zebra printers (barcode printers). My application uses Ethernet protocol, but you can do it using serial RS232. You can see the applications running here:

Start-up display is the one. So move the things you need to that one.

Please add the compare for Strings. I am working on a project and need to compare bar codes (strings).

Disable color: can you change the overlay thing? I was working on a Demo, I want BLUE color in normal mode and RED color in disabe mode. With the overlay structure I can´t have that combination of colors. I am getting blue and purple!

Disable view: I will like to have the disable view available in all the types of variables. Right now the disable color is mixing with the original color so it’s not possible to have all the colors you want. I try the transparent option (disable color set as transparent) but nothing happened. Texts: I didn’t find a way to write multi-line text. It seems that right now you can only write one line texts or variables. I really need the multi-line option. I really like the Visilogic way (clicking enter), but if you need a new command en Unilogic, so be it, but please add the multi-line option. Fixed Images: I really will like to have the set proportional command in image variables too. Custom Colors: I need to save my personal colors, because right now you need to select your own color for each type of object you put in the display. It’s taking too much time and sometimes some you can’t match precisely a custom color, please let us save our own colors or put the RGB values so we can match our own colors.
