  2. Database mismatch

    Different database (to my knowledge).

    Has the project file been opened (and saved) by anyone else?

    Ok, thanks again for your replies,

    Nobody else had opened it, however one of my colleagues had tried to install the BETA version a week or so ago and it failed (!!), I believe this may have overwritten some .dll or install files but never fully completed the install.

    I originally opened the project successfully (v2.0.6) --> did a 'save as' --> renamed the file (v2.0.7) --> then couldn't open the new file due to a database mismatch...

    It also meant I couldn't uninstall / modify / repair the Visilogic software as the installer files were the wrong version and the PC threw back a 'catastrophic failure' (drama queen).

    I have another PC with Visilogic on and successfully uninstalled .65 and installed .79 and now I can open the new file. Perfect!

    I have a feeling I will have to wipe the laptop and reinstall everything, luckily it is only really used for Visilogic programming.

    Database 154 is from VisiLogic 9.8.79.

    Database 153 is from VisiLogic 9.8.65.

    Thank you for your reply,

    This is interesting, I actually don't have .79 installed, only .65.

    However I have been doing some work with the Data Table Editor in the SD Card Suite. Could this have caused the issue? Or is it referencing a different database entirely?

    I believe support@unitronics.com can roll back the database of the project if you don't want to use the beta version email them a copy of the program.

    Thanks for the reply,

    I'll give .79 a go then.

  11. USB Connection issues

    Hi all thank you so much for your time and replies.

    Unfortunately, none of these are working.

    I've rolled back the windows updates to before it stopped working... No good.

    I actually havent been able to try another cable... as I dont have one... however could a broken core cause this? Even though it still says it recognises a deive has been connected?

    I have used that (very handy) removal software to get rid of all of the port devices and old drivers etc. including the ones that were hidden (Thanks Joe), then reinstalled the drivers from prolific directly. Then installed the USB drivers from Visilogic software. Still no good.

    This is making my head hurt, again thank you all for your input.

  13. USB Connection issues

    Hi Cam, thanks for the reply.

    I am using the built in usb programming port, I assumed the prolific drivers were needed as in the past when connecting to the PLC it has shown up in Device manager as COM9 in Ports.

    When I plug it in I get a windows error bubble saying 'USB Device Not Recognised'.  And an 'Unknown USB Device' pops up in Device Manager.

    And as far as I am aware all of the comms settings havent changed. I have checked through them all and they are the same as they were before the update. If it helps, my Windows Version is Windows 7 SP1 Build 7601.

    Stopping the PLC and trying to connect makes no difference unfortunately.

  17. Change preset timer from hmi

    in Vision & Samba PLC + HMI Controllers & VisiLogic Software

    Posted

    Just found this thread,

    I seem to have an issue setting the preset of a timer via the HMI. I'm using the HH.MM.SS (I have also tried HH.MM.SS.hh) option on keypad entry however when i run my project and view the timer in the watch window the preset always stays at 00.00.00.00, yet when I do a LD TP block the ML value changes when i change my timer on the HMI.

    Unfortunately I am unable to post my code on here, but I would assume the 'timer preset' HMI function would then transfer the value to the Timer and would start to run when you call the Timer Coil in the code? The timer coil has [00.00.00.00] written next to it and it seems that when I call the timer to run after presetting it, the 00.00.00.00 value from the coil is overwriting the timer and instantly resetting the timer to 0.

    I have a feeling I am missing something obvious here but any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

  18. V430 Alarms not displaying

    in Vision & Samba PLC + HMI Controllers & VisiLogic Software

    Posted

    Hi All,

    I have a V430 and wish to implement a basic alarm system whenever a motor goes 'over torque'.

    I have set up the alarm in the 'Alarm Config Utility' but cannot get the alarm window to display.

    I have even tried to map the ladder function 'show alarm' to a push button on the HMI. When I monitor the ladder function I can see the push button energising and de-energising but the alarm window never shows on the HMI. The alarm trigger bit is also energised.

    Thanks in advance,
