Flex you can send me the image to ober.yela@imapsa.com

I love to build complex HMI´S and I discovered a couple of tips that maybe can help you Flex. Can you post an image of your displays? Maybe I can give you some tips.

We are going to have 32 sockets in Unistream so a huge advantage if you are going to make a big distributed system.

Hey Cara: I started with the 2 and couldn´t stop. I saw the 11 videos! I really love the new hardware and software! PD: You have a lovely voice! Nice work guys, you really give us a great product.

A couple of questions: 1.- Is M2 reading the movement of the encoder? 2.- If M2 is reading the movement, then your problem can be the sampling rate for reading the frequency. You need to generate enough pulses in 100 ms to start reading the frequency. How many pulses/rev is your encoder? How rpm are you going to have in your system? Try 1000 ms sampling rate.

Can you send the part of the code to load here and try to find a solution. It sounds easy to me. You just need to reset the MB2000 and refreshing MI when no new event is in the system. I will like to see your code and try it.

I think you can use a HSC and use the frequency option. Then you can calculate the width.

I think I design good HMI´s. Of course if you want great resolution then you need to use a V1040. In the V570 and V350 you need to do hard work to build good HMIs (if you want a real view type). I learned that the best way to get good images is building them as big as possible 800x600 or bigger. Making them smaller keeps a good looking, increasing the size often generates bad results. If you like my designs you can contact me.

Hi guys, I made the reset of HSC multiplying the MI or DW by 0. That's the only way I can do it. But it works. Good luck

What I do: Make a list of images, write your text in the same background color and change your logic to use the list. That works for me, you need to work more but it´s the only way.

I answer Yesterday but something happened with my post. I recommend the SB2 on the config too. I also recommended: 1) Do not write power up values to MI 2, 3 and 4 cause it will reset you PID auto tune values. 2) you need to write a power up value to MB 0.

Hope we can make RYD guys to work around this matter. It seems that selecting transparent background avoid the new picture to refresh the old one so you start getting overlapping images. I really need a fix to that problem cause it really can take a lot of time to change the background.

Are you using electric actuator or pneumatic?

I found some important things that need to be check: 1.- I think the main problem is that you are configuring the PID direct from your net 1. You need to put a direct contact of SB2. Remember this direct contact (of SB2) acts like a positive transition contact. So you actually are configuring constantly your PID. 2.- Don´t write power up values to MI2,3 and 4. That way every time you turn on your PLC will overwrite the Autotune values (you lost your autotune). 3.- You need to select SET or RESET on MB 0. If you are working with a direct system (MB = 1) if your init your PLC you will lost the 1 and then your system will not work again untill you set again that MB. So the best is to choose from power up value. You can copy and paste the full ladder of PID 1 autotune example for V120 and paste to V130 to test the PID function. After learning how it works you will need to make some changes to this basic program to a full operational PID program. For example you are going to need a reset button to abort an incomplete autotune. From the expample the only way is to make a reset init to restart. Good luck.

Check too the MB for direct or indirect type. A lot of times no CV is related to this MB.

Overlapping happens when you configure your images with transparent background. I told that problem before but it seems no one interested in find a solution. The flickering is the result of refreshing the screen. So the solution is to "paint" the background of your images with the same background of your screen or change your background (display) to match the images background. Good luck.

I made a Demo in a V1040 and noticed that the MB for (run/stop) is doing exactly what you want. I think this is not what we normally want. I will like to have a run/stop MB and a Clear MB.

Sorry about the poor focus guys, but here you have the new animation.

Yes, I made the 3D models with SolidWorks, then rendered the models and take the pics. I will love to help Unitronics guys with the libraries. I am still looking a good and safe way to offer my libraries at a cheap price. I will send the pics of this demo, please make a movie and share with us. I don´t have a V1040 at hand.

Hi Damian: I am still here from time to time. I keep working on my custom libraries. I sent a couple animations demos to Unitronics guys but they didn´t told me the final results. This is one with just 256 colors, I want to run it in the V1040 to see the new High res.

Hi guys. I have some special requests: I need in the meter graph the option for transparent. I need a new bar graph (stacked). I will wait and see if you can include this new options in the next version. Thanks

I always do it in this way:

I always have best results with BMP. I try the Beta and the results was amazing. Just waiting to have my V1040 to start making great animations.

This is the way you limit the values. If you right click the bar graph then you can select the properties window and define the width and height of your bar.
